I have been following a training plan for the past 10 months and have had some very good results. However, genetics delt me a hand in the leg department....thanks Dad! My entire life, my legs never matched my upper body. My legs are small, okay they are sticks...LOL. Well, not quite sticks, but you know what I'm saying. There was a period of time when I didn't work legs due to a back injury that kept recurring. That is no longer an issue. I recently have added some quality muscle to my legs, and they are cut. However, as I keep adding muscle to them, I keep adding muscle to my upper body. Can you say disproportionate...I knew you could.
I am asking for advice on how to catch lagging body parts up to the rest of my physique. This is my current leg routine which are rotated:
Week 1: Squats 2X8, 1X6, 1X20
STDL's 1X8, 2X6
Leg Extensions 2X8
Seated Calf Raises 3X8
Week 2: Dead Lifts 1X8, 1X6, 1X4
Leg Press 3X6-10
Leg Extensions 2X8
Seated Calf Raises 3X8
I work each body part once a week. My upper body workouts are similar in reps and volume.
I was throwing a few ideas around in my head and thought of the following to try and remedy my situation. (1)Keeping my leg days as they are, but changing my upper body days to include higher reps, more volume, possibly giving my legs a chance to catch up. (2)Or, splitting my leg days up into two days. Working quads one day, and hams another. (3)Adding another leg day to my program, working heavy one day, and light the other.
If any of the bro's out there have any educated suggestions, please share them with me. It would be much appreciated!
Damn, it looks like I just paroled from state prison and all I had back at the pen to workout with was a bench press and some dumbells. :rofl:
