Some background... 31 years old, 6'3, ~220lbs. I've been at this hard again for a couple years now and I'm really enjoying a "power building" workout I found on another site. The split is as follows(not including a couple warm up sets):
Monday- Chest... 6x5 incline bench, 5x10 flat bench, 3x8 flyes, abs
Tuesday- Legs... 7x3 squat, 5x10 leg press, 3x8 leg extension, 6x10 calf raises, abs
Wednesday- Shoulders... 3x8 standing military press, 3x8 wide upright row,s 3x8 db upright rows, 4x12 lat raises
Thursday- Arms... 3x8-12 standing curls, 4x8-12 skullcrushers, alternating db curls 3x8-12, rope press down 4x8-12, preacher curl 4x12 and 1 arm db tri extension 4x 8-12, abs
Friday- Back... 7x2 deadlifts, 3x8 pullups or lat pulldowns, 5x10 db rows, abs
My question. I'm still sore on Friday from Tuesday's leg fest. Last week I was on vacation and skipped leg day to go hiking with my son. Later that week I had an EPIC deadlift workout. So, I've been thinking that alternating squate and deadlifts may improve both. Or possibly still doing both each week and alternating a lighter workout for each.
What do you guys think?
