Calves or quads ;D Try reducing the volume.
I currently do just 3 sets of squats 2 sets of SLDL for legs and nothing else on sat itself.
Btw all are working sets, warmup not included and I dun believe in pyramiding ;D

Hack squats and sissy squats don't have a good risk/gain ratio, and they are tough on the knees. You're not a full-contact fighter, you don't need strength in that range of motion, so don't bother with them. Just front or back squat.

i think if u are doing squats, u better change it something else as it seems u are not coping too well with it.i mean hardcore training has its own use but when it gets as hardcore as this, then something is wrong.try doing lesser voulue with heavier weights or vice versa to see what works for u.

but how do they benefit full contact fighters??? Not just full contact fighters, soldiers and firemen and swat, etc. These guys have to be prepared to go into action from all sorts of strange positions. Full contact fighters have to fight on the ground when necessary and be prepared to rush up at a moment's notice. Furthermore for firemen, soldiers and swat, they'll be carrying at least 10kg of gear. Imagine having to squat around, taking cover and rushing around here and there constantly with a load on you. Very stressful on the knees right? Hack squats will help them out. |

I do legpress before i squat...Hmmm..They call is squat press in cali...its something like squat only lying down...Very focus on my leg muscles tts y i like it... For my breathing, i breathe in when i go down and breathe out when i stand up....For my legs exercise i rest roughly ard the same time for all my other body parts like 1min.... As for if the weights r crushing me?? I dun dare to really do heavy cos i fear i will fall down...haha...so i do moderate... |

Next time squat first then leg press. I'm very sure this will help you. What's your set/rep scheme? 1 min rest may be too short.
