  • I train legs twice a week because I was a chest bro my first year of training and my legs need to be brought up in size, I increase by one rep every two sessions.
    ** Another byproduct of being a chest bro is that my back needs work, added frequency
    *** I’m basically doing stronglifts for bench, just to get it back up after the shoulder injury.

So that is my routine, thanks again for taking a look at it, I really appreciate it!

looks ok, I’d do the deadlift on one of the leg days, personally.

I’d also do a little more shoulder stuff on your Saturday. Rear delt flyes and laterals.

Looks reasonable. One thought might be to consider having one of those leg days be “quad dominant” and the other “hamstring dominant,” just adding in one or two exercises for each. For example, adding narrow stance leg presses on Monday and straight-leg deadlift on Friday.

Agree with above poster that you could do conventional deadlift on Friday if you want to do conventional deadlift (unless you’re a powerlifter, I don’t think there’s any reason to be overly dogmatic about having conventional deads in your routine).

Just my .02 though.
