leg day exercise might be too much
  • It's interval training, so starting with it will deposal any muscle energy. I will reconsider removing interval training and adding dumbbell lunges. And then moving interval training to its own day.

  • leg day exercise might be too much

    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.
