@ilearn Even though I feel quite rested the next day, I believe that the workouts themselves are quite exhausting. I need to concetrate before each set, and going through them definitely isn't easy. However, I admit that most sets are not brought to failure. The only sets that are brought to...

@msulli Other than being more time consuming, I really don't have an issue fatigue-wise with the double row exercises on the Pull day. The most fatiguing one is by far the Deadlift, being the freaking Deadlift as well as being relatively late into the training session. I will be considering...

@jluponeage Thanks a lot! I'll keep your words in mind :)

@jluponeage I started in March 2023, but I was doing 2-3 sessions per week with a personal training coach, and then the rest of the week I was doing a bunch of bodyweight exercises at home. Regarding the training routine that I posted, I've been doing it since June when I bought my home...

@jluponeage I've incorporated the supersetted squats only recently, previously it was just calves on their own. It's grueling while doing it, but the next day I'm fine I guess. Especially on the second leg day, where there is a rest day in between, it's like leg day never happened hahaha.

@overcoming1 That's some great tips! Thanks, I'll try to incorporate them into this routine.

@overcoming1 Yes, I'm doing a PPLPPLR.

@dawn16 You mean 5 sets in total for the whole day? How do you fit the entire leg training routine in just 5 sets? Could you share your leg day here? As for the protein and sleep, I try to get plenty of them both :)

@carolus Thanks, I'll look into it. Funny thing is, I was not enjoying tricep kickbacks that much anyway hahaha.

@carolus I do them with a dumbbell. The thing is, I only have access to a barbell and dumbbells. What other tricep exercise would you recommend?

@533th3r May I DM you for some questions?

@533th3r Initially, I was doing only the calf raises without the extra squats, though I wasn't noticing any significant quads hypertrophy nor was I able to increase the weight on my squats, thus I decided to put some more heavier squats into the mix so as to increase the volume and get stronger...

@dawn16 That's exactly how I feel hahaha!

@peterjakeyboy Believe me, if I can throw away those extra 5 sets of squats and still make gains on my quads, I'd do it in a second as it's the exercise I hate the most. But I noticed that I couldn't progress on my squats, while at the same time all other lifts were getting better, so I added...

@peterjakeyboy It's not that I think it's necessary, but rather the fact that I couldn't progress on my squats, so I figured I wasn't doing enough quad work. To be honest though, squats were killing me before adding the extra 5 sets as well, hahaha.

@sonicblue08 So you're only doing Squats + Calf Raises on Day 1, and Deadlifts + Calf Raises on Day 2?

@sonicblue08 Would you mind sharing what do your Leg days look like?

@dawn16 That seems like a good idea, I might consider doing it!

@dawn16 You may be right in dropping them entirely. Other than that I enjoy them, I feel like they contribute to training my lower back/spinal erectors. Although I believe that this training routine is currently manageable, if I am to lower the volume eventually as the weights go up, dropping...

@oregongirl1 I currently have a home gym situation going on so I'm restricted to free weights only. The RDLs on Leg day are for my hams. The RDLs themselves are not so fatiguing, it's the Squats that are killing me. Deadlifts on Pull day are quite fatiguing, yes, but they are two days per week.
