Hello everyone! I am trying to develop a workout routine that incorporates plyometrics, sprinting, and resistance training. However, I am worried that I might risk overworking my legs. Just so everyone knows my principal focus is to have bigger, stronger legs

As a sample of what my workouts will consist of (I try not to make every workout the same):

day 1: legs

Front Squat 3 sets
Machine front squat 3 sets
leg extension 3 sets
leg curl 3 sets
calf raises 3 sets
small upper body stuff for shoulders and core

day 2: sprints and plyo

2 lapse around track jogging
dynamic and static stretching
3 100 metre acceleration sprints at 70%

rest 5 minutes

1 100 metre sprint at 100%
1 set of squat jumps to failure (around 12)
1 set push ups 20 reps
1 set situps 20 reps
and then I skip back to where I started and repeat eveything another 2 times.

rest 5 minutes

then I do 3 sets of long squat jumps for 15 reps ( I cover about 50 meters)

stretching

day 3- upper body stuff

day 4 - do some olympic lifting (clean and jerk, snatch)

day 5 do some more legs. deadlifts, lunges, and leg presses

day 6- do some plyo and prints life before

day 7- upperbody

day 8 rest

back to day 1

Questions:

1) can I get away with no rest between day 1 and 2
2) can I get away with doing a moderate amount of olympic lifting (6 sets total) followed the next day with some leg work
3) Am I putting too much demand on my legs throughout the week? Do I need to cut back on my olympic lifting and plyometics and interchange between them at certain days in my cycle ( ex day 2 would by plyo and sprints one week, and olympic lifting the next).

thx for reading. if I need to clarify anything, let me know!
 
to many cooks in the kitchen!

You have a program that consists of everything....sometimes I train legs, sometimes i do sprint work, sometimes i olympic lift, sometimes i do plyos.

pick one thing to focus on and then work on it.

i have laid out programs like the one you are lookig for in my blog...feel free to check out stuff there.

also, you need rest days if you are trying to do that much intense work! you are going to destroy yourself. less is more when it comes to high intensity speed work. quality > quantity
 
You can also try implementing some conjugate periodization or undulating periodization if you would like to enhance more than one biomotor abilities at once. However, you must realize that going beyond that is going to lead to "spreading yourself thin" so to speak. You are going to have to pick one or two areas, focus on it/them, and try to maintain with everything else.
