Hello everyone,
I’m wondering if might be over doing it and prohibiting growth.
I started two months ago.
Here is my leg day. Only once per week.
- Jog or bike 10mins. Basically warm up until sweat.
- squats: 4x10
- dead lifts: 5x5
- leg curls and or leg press 4x10. I skip when these are unavailable.
- bike ~30mins. I’m not sure if I should remove this one. It’s interval training with the purpose of recovery improvement / fitness. So, by interval I mean one minute hard spin (higher resistance) and one minute lowish-medium resistance. I start with 5 min spring. Then 5 sets of this interval. Then, 4 minutes spin at same low-medium resistance, then another 5 sets or less. I’m usually beat after this.
I don’t think it’s too much. I don’t really consider deadlifts that much of a leg and instead a back exercise. I also go 1 rep max on deadlifts, where my 2nd to last set is nearly max and last rep is max.
I’d recommend doing romanian deadlifts instead of leg curls or leg press. I added them in the past year and really feel them. I do them elevated so i can really get low with barbell.
