Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to lifting, and was wondering if I could get some much-needed advice. Because I play sports and am very active, I do my legs and back on the same day because I want to do these muscle groups on days when I do no cardio (because legs and back are two of the largest muscle groups and I want to put on mass). This is what I've been doing (1 day a week):
Squats: 3 x 12
Deads: 3 x 12
Bent-over rows : 3 x 8-12
Pullups (assisted) : 4 x 8-12
Hamstring machine: 2 x 8-12
Quad machine: 1 x 12
Calves (machine) : 2 x 8-12
MAchine rows: 1 x 12
The first four exercises I do are the most important; I guess my question is does it make sense to do the machine exercises afterwards as kind of isolation exercises and to give some extra work to the muscles, or is this just overdoing it? Any other comments/advice would also be appreciated. Oh yeah, I am doing other muscle groups, just on different days.
Thanks,
Luke
