Eleven Sets of Squats
by Bill Anton

Here's another great routine for increasing your strength and weight in the squat and in your legs overall.Get those wheels growing!

Squats — 3 sets x 8 reps
Add 20 – 40 pounds, then 3 sets x 5 reps.
Add 20 – 40 pounds, then 5 sets x 3 reps


Specialize on this with 2 days between squat days. After a while the gaps will raise to 50 – 60 pounds. Typically rest 60 – 90 seconds between sets. Whenever you get all sets and all reps, add five pounds next time out, but no more. We want success to build on success.


Finish off with two sets of hi-rep leg extensions, 4 x 12 leg curls, various calf exercises.
