My new leg routine

[bentonhope]

[FONT=&quot]Hey please critique my leg routine.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Im doing legs thrice a week exclusively (without working other parts) to bring em up; mon, wed, fri.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]fairly short workouts each session, exercises in this order:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]leg press calve raise - 2x15 warmup[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]- 6x6 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]SLDL's - 1x15 warmup[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]- 4x6[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]lying hamstring curls - 1x15 warmup[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]- 4x6[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]leg extensions - 2x15 warmup[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]squats - 4x6[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]leg extensions - 4x6[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]I'm not too worried about the calves work. I read about how one shouldnt be working a major bodypart like the legs more than once or twice a week. Then also there is the 'give it 48 hours between sessions' rule. well i do 4 working sets for each exercise, increasing rep range from 6 to 12 before upping the weight, ie eg. mon 4x6, wed 4x8, fri 4x10 so on and so forth.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I'm pretty new to this new routine so pls let me know if i should decrease the working sets. ive not felt like ive overtrained thus far, but tell me if im doing something horribly wrong. cheers![/FONT]

Maybe add in some deadlift and front squats

Three times a week? No. Not unless you're using pussy weights.

1-2X a week is plenty for legs.. even once a week only is ideal

the only exception is if you did like a set or two of lunges or squats and that was it that day. but pounding for 15 sets? hell no. great way to destroy your hips and knees

3 times a week is a bit excessive

I think 2 times a week is plenty!!
