Sometimes I switch my wednesday and thursday depending how my legs feel.



Love to hear some feed back. I have a hard time regulating between too much and not enough, at least if im using soreness as a gauge.

I used to do just 1 body part per day once a week and really burn it out but since I switched im not sure how to adjust my volume effectively.

Can't say if this is overtraining without the full program and what weights you're currently using.

What does that tell you?

What does that tell you?

id say im going pretty close to failure on chest and back with exception of maybe the first 2 sets - same for overhead pressing

always go to failure on side delts, tri's and bi's

leg presses id say i leave 3-4 in the tank on early sets 1-2 in the tank on the latter sets - pretty close to failure on extensions and hamstring curls, always to failure on calves

Soreness is NOT an indicator of growth

true but it is a indicator or effectiveness, no? last thing id want to do is too little

no, you can get sore jogging 60 minutes but that doesn't mean your building muscle or getting stronger.
