Reply With QuoteWhen you say Deadlifts, I assume that you are talking about the stiff legged kind for the hamstringss? If so then I don't think you are doing too much. Legs usually need more work than other muscle groups.

too much legs in one workout?
This morning, I did the following for my legs workout:
Leg Presses: 1x15, 1x10, 3x8
Squats: 1x12, 3x8
Deadlifts: 4x8
Hamstring curls: 1x15, 1x10, 3x8
Seated calf raises: 5x10
Back extensions (roman chair), 2x20
Am I doing too much in one workout? I'm thinking the presses, squats, and deads in one workout might be too much.

If I'm right , It looks like your first couple of sets are warm ups. Then I'd say this is ok. A thing I always try to keep in mind is if you limit your workout to 1 hour and keep your time between set to a min. (1 - 2 mins) It' s hard to overtrain. The change up of press and squats is a great suggestion also.

It depends on what your goals are, if your trying to put on some good mass then I'd question why your doing back and legs together.
If your trying to keep fit and maybe increase your strength then its probably ok."EAT ME"!!
