Some thoughts on my leg day

[sublime35]

Here's my new leg workout I just started today. Tell me what ya'll think. I also have some other lifts that I was going to use but I figured these would be the best.

Squats
SLDL
Calf Raises
Deadlifts

I was thinking of doing lunges or leg extensions in place of the deads, but I thought they were a better lift..more compound movement u know.

personally i think that is waaay too many compound movements for one session.
In my opinon you should 5*5 SQ, then hit the hammies with some gm's or hyper extensions...save the pulling for another day in the week.

pick one compound movement and use that as you main lift. SLDL are very good for strengthen the hams. no need to do them as a main lift, I would use them as an accessory lift, and do them for reps.

Front squats
Back squats
SLDLs
Lunges
standing incline calves
seated calves

I dont rec. leg exts- they put alot of stress on the knees. Also, instead of deads last on leg day- put them first on back day

Personally if i were to do that, then it would cripple my whole back work out. But i guess if you want to improve your lower back, thats the way to go, so you exaust the muscle.

i should have added earlier, do not drop the deadlifts like you were thinking of. if anything, i would alternate the squats one week, and the deadlifts one week.

I wouldn't do squats and dls in the same routine, the second one will always suffer. I'd put deads in with back on a separate day and at least one day in between them.
