It all depends on the volume, intensity and density and how those variables will change over time.
The exercises selection is fine for what you are trying to do but that is only one piece of the puzzle.
Hi Richo, I wouldn’t have 2 squat exercises in the same session as deadlifts. If you do the deadlifts correctly and enough of them you should hit you glutes enough, same with the box squats. As the guys have replied, a lot depends upon what else your doing.
ok, i do 2x a week speed work, on my leg days, before weights.
on the upper days, i do tempo style training
if you guys want to know reps and sets and that, just visit my journal and have a look. pretty much my training journal will answer the intensity questions and that
PhilG, what do you suggest? exercises? reps? sets? about the squating and deadlifting
Ditch either the weighted pushups, or bench press, and add in some sort of pulling movement on upper 1.
Also, on the second lower body day, it says “Straight-legged DL or DB Lunge or DB Step-up”. These exercises are completely different. Stick to something hip dominant (SLDL) and you can replace one of the squats through out the week with a unilateral lift.
i just feel till your base strength levels are up there is no need to get specificity with ur exercise selection for most people. there would be special cases where i would use single leg moves.
