Just started one of you programs and did the lower split today :
Squat 4x10
Romans D.L. 4x10
BulgarianSplit Squat 4x10 “asshole”
Step up 4x10
I threw in calf a 4x10
Looked at the program and thought not to bad, never did the split squat in my entire life, never swore at someone i don’t know like this either. In my 20 years of lifting even two a days during high school getting ready for a meet my quads never tired like this. During my last set of split squats I was thinking about playing an irish jig on the pipes while dancing om your grave.
Then I tought how cruel to play and irish tune on a scottish grave. Sorry?
Nice training program looking forward to finishing… cd
Are we back to the thinking now that if a workout is hard or makes you sore it is effective? If it is well here I will give you, for free, the best leg workout ever:
Squats
8 sets 15 reps 60 seconds rest
Leg press
8 sets 25 reps 60 seconds rest
Superset leg curls and leg ext
6 sets 15 reps 60 seconds rest
Hack squats
4 drop sets 25 reps a set.
Circuit
Donkey calf, stand and then seated calf
6 sets 15 reps a machine

That’s FIFTY sets of leg work! You think you need more?
Also, I actually don’t see enough hamstring work in there. If I were to do that workout myself, I think I would swap the Hack Squats for RDL’s or GHR’s.

You’re not hitting the hamstrings nearly hard enough…personally I’d ditch calf raises and bang out your 100RM on the reversehyper machine in line with Christian Thibideau’s (HSS-100 routine).
