Lower Body for an old guy

[davek]

First off..Thank you for some good feedback & knowlegde! I'm already seeing results..slow, but progress is being made.
Now: Looking to improve my lower body workout..

Squats: 4 sets, 10 reps, increasing weight each set. usually only get about 8-9 reps during final set. Also, I'm adding a little weight each week to 10 days.

Hams: well, using machines here..sorry! same set/rep as squats & adding weight.

Butt: machine again, same as above, adding weekly here too.

15 -20 minute light cardio.

Can someone give me other Good Lower Body excersizes? lunges maybe??

Quads
Squats
Hack Squat
Lunges
Leg Press
Leg Extension (only if combined with others)

Hamstrings
Hamstring Raise
Goodmornings
Romanian Deadlift
Stiff Legged Deadlift
Leg Curl (only if combined with others)

Calves
Standing Calf Raise
Seated Calf Raise
Donkey Calf Raise

Follow the links for more.

Drop the butt machine - your squatting should take care of that.

Excellent..Thank You!

Add Sumo Squats. IN addition to the quads, they also use the hamstrings. I prefer them because my knees feel more secure while doing them then with regular squats.

My friend nix the machines, squats in the rack all angels heavy, dead lifts heavy, straight leg dead's heavy. this will thicken the hole body and the wheels! you know you are working hard when the puke hits the can. this advise is the only that works.

GO HEAVY OR GO HOME! BUT KEEP YOUR FORM!

Peace my man, blood and guts training will win every time!

NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY!
