Splitting legs up?

[KBgrl]

Perhaps the reason the split worked for me is because I don't carry excess weight in my legs and really have to work hard at building and keeping muscle there. I did put on nice size in the quad area, but my hams were still not up to par, so splitting worked for me.

god ur such a bitch

PS. to actually add something useful to this thread...I would advise against quads and hams on different days...too much overlap. However I would advise against workin a bodypart only once a week. So take my recommendations with a grain of salt.

What about training quads and hams together, then in 3-4 days add some sprints and plyos?

Personally, I don't do any calf work at all. My quads & hams were in nice shape with NO work, so I certainly wouldn't work them on separate days... I build easily & all my cardio (rollerblading, biking, running & aerobics) was enough to get some work in!

As for plyometrics... we do tons of that in any aerobics class, so I get that often. I take boxing classes on occasion (real boxing, not that tae-bo kicking/punching air crap) & we do intervals of sprints. Aerobics works the calves too.

I guess it just depends on your body, your tendency to build & your goals.
