Introduction

When it comes to developing strong and massive legs, few names stand out like Tom Platz. Learn from the best as we delve into his legendary leg workout routine.

Platz's routine revolves around squats, the king of leg exercises. Incorporate both back squats and front squats for complete leg development.

Squats: The Foundation

High Volume Training

Embrace high volume with multiple sets and reps. Platz often did 5 sets of 10 reps or more to stimulate muscle growth.

Constantly challenge your muscles by increasing the weight lifted. Progressive overload is crucial for leg development.

Progressive Overload

Include leg press variations to target your quadriceps. Adjust foot placement to emphasize different areas of the quads.

Leg Press for Quads

Devote attention to your hamstrings with curls. Platz understood the importance of balanced leg development.

Hamstring Curls

Integrate lunges to enhance stability and engage stabilizing muscles. Alternate between walking lunges and stationary lunges.

Lunges for Stability

Don't neglect your calves. Platz's calf routine included standing calf raises, seated calf raises, and donkey calf raises.

Calf Raises

Maintain proper form throughout each exercise to prevent injuries and maximize muscle engagement.

Proper Form

Focus on the mind-muscle connection. Visualize your muscles working as you perform each rep for optimal results.

Mind-Muscle Connection

Allow ample rest between leg workouts. Muscles grow during recovery, so prioritize sleep and nutrition.

Rest and Recovery

Focus on the mind-muscle connection. Visualize your muscles working as you perform each rep for optimal results.

Mind-Muscle Connection

Consistency is vital for leg development. Stick to the routine and make gradual progress over time.

Consistency is Key

Pay attention to your body's signals. If you're fatigued or experiencing pain, adjust the intensity or take a rest day.
