By splitting my leg workout into two sessions, I can put more focus on creating a better set of wheels. One workout focuses primarily on hamstrings and calves, while workout number two focuses on quads. With any leg day, I start out with at least ten minutes of cardio to warm up.

As with any other body part, I constantly try new machines, movements, or foot placement to further refine my workout, but here is what a current quad day looks like for me.

It was only outdone in quantity by the number of ladies in the bikini division. These two divisons made up roughly half of the total number of competitors to take the stage. Whereas it took Men's Bodybuilding, Women's Bodybuilding, Women's Physique, Fitness and Figure to make up the other half.
