Are the numbers before the squats correct? How come you can leg curl and leg extension, more than you squat?
Sick of getting sick during leg workout

ummmm don't squats use all kinds of muscles??? leg curls and leg extensions are pretty different aren't they
Yep, do this and keep to compound movements and try to limit your use of machines as much as possible. You need your stabalizing muscles to get stronger and compounds with free weights are the way to go for that
I already do a full body work out. I go every second day to the gym so that turns out as 3/4 times a week
then you are doing way to much, you only need 1 or 2 leg exercises and 2 upper body exercises each workout. do what i said, search to find a sample routine, youll get the drill. I usually like to do something heavy for the legs, like say squats, 3x5 then do something single leg, maybe bulgarian single leg deadlift for 2x8. then bench press and some kind of row supersetted.
then maybe throw inn some isolation if you want.
then another day do deadlifts for 3x5, and bulgarian squats for 2x8. overhead press and vertical pull (pullups etc). and some iso if you want.
then alternate those two workouts.
Now remember, that was just an example.

You just posted a day full of only leg exercises dude, that isn't full body. Squats do use much more msucles than leg extensions and leg curls, you should just do squats and lay off the other two. (squats along with other essentials of course) You can't possibly squat less than you leg curl. That would mean the combination of quads glutes calfs hammys w/e in squat in strength is less than that of your hamstrings.
there are alot of FBW routines on this forum look for them.

Oooh, I think I'll pencil that in for tomorrow, for some reason I've never tried single leg deadlifting, just squats and lunges. Cheers

You were recommended by three people already to do a FBW...
If you haven't already decided to use some time to finding ag ood one, here is a good base to start on.
Squats,
Deadlifts,
Bench,
Chinup,
Dip
Bentover Row
3x a week
I've tried splits just like yours, I made my own, FBW or push pull split works much better.
I could have sworn you made a thread asking about using smith machine for squats and everyone told you not to and gave you advice as to how to practice for parallel squat, are you taking any of the advice people give you?
smith machine sucks for squats, and in general. I can see why you might use it for plyometric bench press, but that isn't something you need to be doing anyway.
haha yeah my bad i don't do a full body workout well if you +the bar onto 15 kg whats that ?
yup i was told to have like something underneath me when i did it so i wouldn't fall over...seriously ive tried it having my arms up in the squatting position and just doing a squat with no weight and i just cant do it aye...
Ok sweet but can you give me a summary of what you think i should do and the links to good things maybe or even make one up for me...after all the posts from people its a little confusing :11doh: I trust your advice karky
The base full body workout you put up does not look like enough and i really want to make gains to every single part of my body!!!
hmmm
well where abouts are the ones you made? i don't care what the gains be as long as i am getting them but i want it in every single part of my body...well most of it if you know what i mean...i also push my self at everything i do so i don't care what it be...ill do it!!!Oh there is a search bar? haha thought you meant manually search threw the forums and that would of taken ages
My goals are to get bigger and keep on getting bigger and keep getting stronger... i don't want goals nor need them...i only really see them as something for people to use to stick to working out or for really serious people trying to improve certain parts of there body but i want all gains. As i get stronger i add more weight to whatever i am doing and thats it haha as bad as this sounds id really like to be a bodybuilder and you got no idea how keen i am :SaiyanSmilie_anim:
