Training Plan - Leg & Butt Workout for Mass
Bulking Progress: May 2017
Bulking Progress: June 2017
This leg & butt workout is what I am currently using in my routine to gain mass and put on size. This workout is for intermediate to advanced lifters. The routine starts with big compound movements and finishes with fry out lighter sets to send the muscles into hypertrophy and cause muscle growth. This workout is the hardest workout for me during the week, it's an area of my body that I have had to make a priority in order to strengthen my legs. Using this workout and cycling 1 - 1.5 hr a few times a week, I have finally started to feel better about this section of my body. If you do a body part split style of training, try this as your leg day workout.

How to perform in this routine...
- All sets can be done as straight sets
- Perform an Ab workout or Calf workout at the end of this routine
This routine is for intermediate to advanced lifters and takes about 1.25 hours to complete (with a 15 minute ab or calf workout added on). It is effective for growing the legs. This routine blasts the lower body with several sets of squats. It also combines heavy lifts with lighter lifts to get blood flowing throughout the entire body. Try out some or all of the routine for your next leg day!
