I have one leg day that's so tough, I have to break it up into 2 days. It's sumo deads and hip thrusts plus some ancillary leg exercises. The sumos and hip thrusts usually kill me before I make it to anything else🤣
Stephanie, my GST program, when done with the full four day split, breaks legs up into two days; a posterior focused day and an anterior focused day. Each one has three compounds and 1-2 isolations, so I know what you're feeling. Of course, set/rep variations in programming can make the same set of exercises wildly different. What are you generally doing for those first two compounds in terms of sets/reps?
It depends on the week. Today I'm doing 3 sets of 6 reps for both. My weights have gotten so high (for me) that the sheer volume wears me out. Today is 195 for both. So then I throw in some abs and maybe cardio.
Get on that GST time! You have the book and it's your style of training. Based on what you've mentioned so far, I believe you'll really like it. Those are great poundages too, especially for those deadlifts!
I would like that. I'll send you a message. Thanks!
Perfect timing! I was just thinking about mixing up my routine and this is very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome! I can help with specifics if needed, too.

Thank you! Lol I read the first chapter and then got distracted🤦🏼♀️ I'll get in it
Keep reading.
So much good info here.
Glad you liked the info and thanks for the feedback. I'll be doing additional write-ups on upper body work too.
