Thank You! It worked!

Thanks to everyone for their advice on how to train legs. In the last two weeks I have trained legs 4 times. I have reduced the volume and increased the frequency. I have brought down the number of sets to 16 and have eliminated barbell squats from routine. I I’m mostly doing lunges, leg curls, extensions, leg press, dead lifts and dumbbell squats. I was under the impression that I cannot grow legs without barbell squats. But I’m wrong. I have had no muscle fever and feel amazing. I feel the pump and and a sweet pain that feels good while I walk around. Now I am tempted to train legs frequently. Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.

@kyachu I started doing 2 short leg days/week. I think it’s a great idea to not do leg day all at once.

@mysticfred82 Very true. Had never realised this though id been training for a long time. Better late than never

@kyachu Glad you found something that works for you!

I've been going 3x5 twice a week on squats, once on DL. My quads have been having growing pains.
