Combining Quads and Hamstrings on leg day

Is it too much on your central nervous system to do this?

Hey everyone!

 

I was wondering if it is too much on your body to do quads and hamstrings on the same day? My current leg workout is the following:

 

Warm up: 5 minutes on the bike

 

1. Front Squats:

 - Warm up with 135 back squat

-Front Squat

- 5 sets of 8-12

 

2. Deadlift

-5 Sets of 12,10,8,8,4 -Dropset to failure

 

3. Romanion Deadlift

- 2 sets of 10-15

 

4. hamstring cable kick back

 

-3 sets of 10 per leg

 

5. Leg extensions

 

4 sets of 10

 

6. leg curls- calf superset

 

- 5 sets to failure

 

7. Barbell Lunges

 

- 3 sets of 10 per leg

 

 

I didn't know if this was too much and if I should split up hamstring and quads. If any of y'all have any suggestions, it would be great! Legs has always been a lacking body part and before I begin a lean bulk, I want to make sure I am training as efficiently as possible.

 

Thank you,

 

Welsey

Wesley,

 

It depends on how your body responds to high volume training. I respond very well to high volume training. I split quads and hams, however. This is simply because I am doing full body push/pull workouts. When I was doing muscle splits, I trained legs as one workout - quads, hams, calves.

 

If this workout is working for you and you are eating nutritious foods and getting enough rest, then there is no reason not to continue training legs in this manner.
