Hammies on Leg Day....

[squatpuke]

I'm old....41....don't have the stamina I used to have...was wondering if it's wise (or if it even matters) to work hammies on shoulder/calf day instead of an "all out" leg day...

Current 4 day split

back/bi
chest/tri
shoulder/calves
legs

Leg workout is typically as follows...

back squats (almost atf) 135x6,185x6,225x6,275x6x3
leg press (sled) 270x10,360x10,450x8,540x8,630x6,720x6x3
hack squat (sled) 180x8,230x6,270x6
single leg, leg extensions x3

By now I'm pretty SPENT (probably the leg presses)...but struggle on with really the only two ham exercises I can do at my gym...those being

stiff leg deads, 135x10x3
leg curls x4 relatively heavy

Overall, feels like I might be neglecting my hams...

Maybe I should cut out hack squat, or cut back on presses...(alternate every other week?)

Thoughts?

you can totally cut down on the amount of quad dominant work and throw in something for the hammies like SLDL's, hypers, or some leg curls.

i split my legs into 2 seperate days and the results have been very good.

Train your hams with back.

stiff leg deadlifts and good mornings will work hams AND back

Thats what I do, but all I do is two sets romanian deadlift after my standard deadlifts. It works well for me though...

sldl's or romans.

Lately I've been too assed out on leg day to properly work my hams. I might actually start doing this myself. I train back three days after legs so it shouldn't be a problem.

This should work well for squatpuke since he trains back on day 1 and legs on day 4. I don't think I would be too successful at hitting hams the day before quads.

SLDLs seem to blast my traps lately. I don't go heavy either 12-15 rep range. Not a bad side effect
