Tues - chest
Wed - legs
Thurs - back
Fri - legs

[MgrHard]

I wouldn't. You need rest.

[RepMeBro]

1 day rest bro

[BigTimeHustler]

Bro The are Just legs

You're not going to be able to recover quickly enough to make any more significant progress than if you did 2x a week, probably worse

[SmithMachineGuy]

It's fine if your volume is low. Lots of people make gains with total body 3 times a week. So they hit legs 3 times.

If you are going for a dedicated leg workout where you intend to annihilate them 3 times a week, you'll probably be buying your knees a ticket to snap city.

[pharmgator01]

5 x 5 routine trains legs three time per week. Just do low reps you will be fine. Soreness will fade after a week or two.

lol at this.
if females with 50mg of test in their body eating 40 grams of protien a day
can train legs 4-5 times a week, im sure a man can get away with legs 3 times a week.

[RepMeBro]

I should add that I'm a no squat, no deadlift biatch

my routine would be

leg press
extensions
curls
calves

3-5 sets per exercise depending on feelz

[RepMeBro]

You train legs 3x a week, it won't take long for you to find out, I recommend you don't.

chinaman

shoo

[MetroBrah]

it hard
no recover
srs

[Ken-O]

Maybe if you separate the leg day in hamstrings and quads. Its going to be a relatively short workout tho.

[sooby]

depends how much volume there is on each leg day.

generally lower body exercises require more recovery than upper body. But there are less muscles in the lower body to hit (quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves?). Where as with upper body you got lats, upper back, shoulders (3 heads), chest, abs, biceps, triceps, forearms?

it makes more sense to do chest/shoulders, back/lats, arms, then a hamstring/glutes and quads/calf day

[kingmanaverage]

Big back and chest > big legs.

not much volume tbh

[RepMeBro]

Big back and chest > big legs.

I ran PPL / brosplits when younger

realizing the benefits of legs as I get older

[joeysmokes]

i did them 5x a week when i broke my arm for a couple months

my knees started popping just walking around, so i stopped. back to normal now

The biggest factors to high frequency training are [rest, food, sleep] then balancing [volume, intensity, frequency] accordingly, everyone will be slightly different

I've hit legs every other day for 3 weeks strait not too long ago, you cannot go to failure (sub maximal, but still heavy enough 80% of 1rm (at least 1x a week) to get the stimulus needed for adaptation

This is why trainers still have a place, they can spot little variables in athletes that applies to the above

Thus getting them to their goals faster

[AutistTrigger]

Rotate leg work days? A/B split?

A. Legs 3x week Upper 2x week

B. Legs 2x week Upper 3x week

[GuineaDago585]

Do you have an imbalance? I’d rather hit lower 2x/week and give my arms more attention.

ya it's why I plan on lowering intensity and increasing number of days

Having a hard time sitting on the toilet, legs cramping up. Going all out on leg days ain't it IMO.

[AWSbruh]

Dont listen to these pussys you won't overtrain lmao. its really hard to do ded fkn srs

[RepMeBro]

Think ima do 5 day split

Mon - Back/Bi
Tues - Legs
Wed - Rest
Thurs - Chest/Shoulder/Tri
Fri - legs
Sat - Rest
Sun - Legs

3x leg days
2x upper days

We ain't high school no more. Need to hit legs frequently for better bed game.

[MgrHard]

make one a cardio day

Snap City for sure doing 3x week similar heavy legs

Gonna do cardio on my rest days and sometimes after workouts.

my leg routine would be

leg press
extensions
curls
calves

3-5 sets per exercise depending on feelz

very mild leg workout tbh. Used to do these on top of heavy squats, hack squats, RDL, etc

It depends on how close you go to failure. Keep a rep or two back dont see a issue.

[MBisonSon]

Picture you can go in and workout with three different intensities: Light, medium and heavy.

Then split your body parts into three groups.

Group one goes heavy day one, then medium day two (preferably before DOMS kicks in), light day three, rest day four, repeat.

Do that with your entire body, where one group gets worked heavy, while next group gets worked medium and last group lightly.

That is a way to make active recovery work for you while upping volume and minimizing fatigue, risk of injury etc.

For heavy days use weights, plyos (if that's your thing), etc, for medium use bands and other lighter forms of resistance, for light days use more bodyweight and gentle resistance.

[AdvancedDreamer]

If you train them hard enough, you shouldn’t even need to reach even 2x per week.

[radrd]

my routine would be

leg press

curls

not much volume tbh

That's a fairly chitty routine. Why don't you incorporate a Romanian deadlift, split squat, hack squat, and a couple different lunge movements. You won't need to hit legs 3x if you do it right.
