? for those that train leg parts on diff days

[KillahBee]

what is your routine like if you train these parts on diff days? also, where do you throw squats in? thanks. thinking of trying this out and want to get a handle on others' routines.

people train calves on back days, but i dont think you could train other parts different days, since squats gets like the whole thing, so you might not want to do that.

or you can do what i do, which is

monday: squat, deads(stiff leg and regular), bench(flat, incline, decline)

Tuesday: abs, backextensions, dips, pullups

wednesday: seated rows, standing rows, lat pull downs, leg extensions

thursday: flys, peck deck, cable crossovers, leg press

friday: leg curls, military presses, dumbell shrugs, dumbell curls, skull crushers, tricep pulldown

sat/sun: off

I hear what you are saying, and that was my train of thought, but I have heard several peeps say that they train legs like this (or have in the past).

HUH?! Bro, TONS of people separate Quads & Hamstrings. Reason being, is they want to focus more on a good Hamstring routine, which is hard to do after an exhausting Quadricep lift. Not to mention, that it is ALSO hard to do a good quad routine, while you have it in the back of your head that you have to do Hams & calves yet.

Here's what I used to do:

Quad Day:

1. Squats: 4 sets of whatever.
2. Leg Presses: 2 sets of whatever.
3. Hacks or Sissy Squats: 2 sets of whatever.
4. Leg Extensions: 2 sets.

Ham/Calf Day:

1. SLDL's: 4 sets.
2. Straightbar Lunges: 2 sets.
3. Seated Leg Curls: 2 sets.
4. Good Mornings: 2 sets.

1. Standing Calf Raises: 2 sets.
2. Seated " ": 2 sets.
3. Standing Tibialis Raises: 2 sets.

thanks bro. a few ?'s: DLs, GMs, and I am assuming a back day on its own- is that too much back stress? Also, I am assuming those GMs are SL also?

It can get to be alot of Back stress bro, especially if you are going heavy all the time. I only went heavy on the SLDL's. The GM's were done with extremely light weight, while concentrating on stretch & form. I also would rotate Deads heavy & light, depending on whether I went heavy on SLDLs recently, during my Hammy routine.

Back is done with Traps & Neck.

I do train Legs now all on the same day I should say, but only because my Leg routine isn't nearly as intense, or long. That enables me to do all 3 groups on the same day. I do 6 sets for each muscle. I'm out of the gym in like 40 minutes max. If I superset, I'm out in 20.
