On my legs day i will...

squat 3x8x85kg and 1x8x90kg
leg press 3x10x160kg
leg extensions 3x10x105kg
leg curls 3x10x70kg

Then a little calf work too.

I'm aware what I'm getting is DOMS but my question really is why legs take such a hiding but when I work my other body parts they give me a bit of jip, but nothing like the hobbling round i have for 2-3 days from my legs.

Cradler can you confirm exactly what you mean by bodypart days being so poor and what is your suggestion. I have been advised to do this by some experienced trainers.
