So I've been wondering about which exercises to pick.
At the moment I'm on PHAT by Layne Norton.
day2-Lower power
Squats 3x 3-5
Front squats 2x 6-10
RDL 3x 5-8
Bench step ups 2x10 (bw)
Calf raises 4x10 (70)
day5-lower body hypertrophy
Speed work-sqauats 6x3
Squats 3x 8-12
Leaning thing (you hold something and lean backwards with whole of your body right upto your knees, no clue what's it called but it hits the quads like crazy) 3x 8-12
RDL 3x 8-12
Glute ham raises 3x 10-15
Calf raises 5x 15-20
I don't have a leg curl extension, it would make my life more easier. I'm wondering whether not to incorporate regular deadlift into my routine. But then if I put DL what about the squats and RDL? I don't think I could do all 3 in 1 workout. It could be possible if I did:
Squats 3s x3-5
DL 1s x3-5
RDL 3s 3-5
Calf raises 5s
The thing to consider is that I used to have hyperlordosis (been working on fixing it) so my abs, glutes, hams were weak/not properly activated compared to the lower back/quads/hip flexors. I squat with Rippetoe style, wide stance, low bar etc. so this hits glutes and hams along with quads. DL would hit everything again and RDL would mainly hit the hams and glutes. I remove front squats and glute ham raises. So what do you think? The volume seems small. Not doing stiff deads as they feel awkward and my lower back feels like popping (yes I keep flexed back yet it feels weird anyway), RDL takes most of the stress off the back.
