you manage it a few ways:
a) you adapt after awhile.
b) you prioritize what you are going to work on.......legs heavy/upper for reps, next workout is upper heavy/legs for reps.

Training legs with upper body
I'm adjusting my training split a little and toying with the idea of working legs with my upper body push muscles.
Problem is, I am WIPED after doing legs. Anyone manage to train legs with upper body? If so, how do you manage it?
Thanks"Look what your brother did to the door!"

Dont just work legs with your upper push either.
Split legs up into push + pull aswell, and group them with their opposite upper body movements.
Thatd make it a tad more managable.
Full body is hard going, dont get me wrong, but the results outweigh the initial hard work.http://www.getlifting.info

Its not that bad because you wont be doing a big crazy leg workout as it will be split up. Its actually easier than doing a full nasty leg workout.

not a big fan of doing legs with any upper body; i do however add calves into it because by then theyre already warmed up. Originally Posted by Leatherface
