Here's another bomb workout I found on sdatrainingprograms.blogspot.com :
Mon: Push Bench Press Seated DB Press Weighted Pushups Weighted Dips Tricep Pushdowns Wed: Legs Leg press Squats Leg Curls Deadlifts Fri: Pull Bent Over Rows Lat pulldown Chin-ups Straight arm pulldown BB Curls Each microcycle lasts 2 weeks: Microcycle 1: 3x12 Microcycle 2: 4x10 Microcycle 3: 3x8 Microcycle 4: 4x6 It's sweet! |

Why is leg press first on leg day - before squats!? Why are deadlifts last - after leg curls!? Would also like to point out that this is the hypertrophy phase from a larger linear program. Each microcycle is actually a week. I can't vouch for the success of this outside the overall program as i've never done it. Should work, though. Don't put my name to stuff if you've changed it, unless you note you have changed it yourself. That said, thanks for reading my blog, i hope you enjoy it ![]() Quote:

I'm currently undergoing therapy for my metatarsalgia so I only do light leg work,I'll probably do this for a long time,if I want to walk alright
Supine rows- no rack machine in my gym ![]() DB rows-they're ok but I'm not really digging them ![]() I do the leg press before squatting 'cus it gives me that pump I need in order to squat correct&hard I could do deads before curls ![]() I slightly modified the program to fit my needs ![]() & GREAT articles found on your blog! Thanks for posting ![]() edit: Mon: Push Incline DB bench press Seated DB Press Weighted Pushups Weighted Dips Tricep Pushdowns Static Holds & Planks - i'll just do 3 sets for 1-2 minutes Wed: Legs Leg press Squats Deads Leg Curls Farmers Walks Fri: Pull Lat pulldown Bent Over Rows Straight arm pulldown Underhand Cable Pulldowns(i can't do 12 chinsI'm too weak) BB Curls Plate Pinch Holds&Woodchoppers Underhand Cable Pulldowns are the substitute for chins,correct?

I would definitely do Deadlifts before leg curls. I do deadlifts either first or second in the session no matter what. Would possibly replace leg curls altogether, maybe with hypers, or good mornings or something.

Do one arm cable crossovers. Might even work some stabiliser muscles as you try to keep your body in a stable position while pulling from one side.

Maybe he can confirm this.Always squats first. They are probably the most taxing exercise ever and doing it second will really compromise form, especially after isolating the legs on leg press. How about lunges too? I don't think you're doing enough for the legs as compared with upper body.

I need to go light weight on my legs,putting too much preasure on the feet will result in a "metatarsalgia-overkill"

I generally agree with Gaz's comments. However I have had great squat days by doing leg press before squats. I would go up to maybe 6 to 8 total plates per side depending how I felt. I think It was a matter of my old knees needing that much to get warmed up. I didnt do this enough times to really do a study on it but I must say it surprised me.

Do you have any means of doing assisted pullups etc? Either way, keep them in at whatever rep range you can do. If your wrists hurt too much, take out the ones which hurt. Pain is never good. Did they hurt, or did your grip just give out?
