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 would consider reducing squat rep count, but it also depends on your goals. I recommend against doing a “if its available” mentality, as it made me often skip. But the other person had a good point, probably shouldn’t press and squat
