How many times a week do you train legs?

it varied.

a regular week would be heavy % squats on monday,front squats of varying rep ranges belted or beltless on wednesday and speed squats of 70% of 8x2 on thursday before deads.Id do 3 weeks then minideload for a few days.Sometimes when work got too much id save up leg days for saturday mornings and try and stuff everything in.My squat did go down over this period tho.
 
Twice a week but hitting them differently. It sux but is definately worth it.

The satisfaction of completing a gruelling leg workout outweighs the pain and suffering. [emoji2960]
 
Twitch genetics have a lot to do with how you should train any body part.
What works for someone else may not always be ideal for you. (Gear also changes things)

Learning how to map your bodys twitch fiber ratios early can dial in your needs/progress & save a lot of wasted time. Whilst many methods work, - few things work well for everyone.

As for me, for my genetics, I split legs into 3 groups -
Front
Rear
Lower.

I do 2 hour leg sessions once a week (squat variations & seated incline till I wanna spew)

I seperate hammies off onto a seperate day for fresh focus, and train calves 3 times weekly.
 
Once or twice per week.

Squat once.
Deadlift once.

Hard sets though. Very hard.

Doesn't sound like much ..but still have bigger legs than most gym rats. [emoji14]

a light session will serve no purpose in my opinion. heavy & maybe moderate but light? why ?

Why not?

A light session in between the heavy and moderate session can help facilitate recovery from the heavy session.

Also good for general health and fitness, it being better than doing nothing.

Heavy, Light, Medium is a pretty tried and true method historically.

When I ran daily training in past this is exactly how I set it up. 7 days a week. The light seasons where very welcome.

a light session will not stimulate muscle growth. why not just train hard & rest. Rest is the key
 
I agree. Don't get me wrong here...I was just explaining the thought process.

I train twice a week now. Hard as hell.

In truth, most people don't train that hard.

It doesn't stimulate muscle growth in and of itself but it may facilitate harder training and greater muscle growth on the hard training days.

well whatever... i prefer to rest. I know some powerlifters do this. Having a light day.
If it works for people then why not
