Yo could someone check out my leg day routines - is it too much? Not enough? Leg day 1 -front squats 5x5 -hip thrusts 4x6-10 -lying leg curl 3x8-12 -leg extensions 3x8-12

Seems solid, as long as you see progression and can continue to recover in time it’s not too much. If you get bored with it change the rep ranges around

Don't follow rep ranges, follow reps in reserve

Set volume is high. Preference is key if you like doing so much, but I see way better results with 2-5 sets per muscle group every workout.

Ah I see. I keep falling victim to “the more you put in the more you get out”. And I equate that with higher volume goddamn it

I do, I adjust the weight accordingly based on the rep number I’m aiming for and how my previous lifts went. I leave 1-2 RIR for all sets except the last, which I take to failure. Except on fronts

Gotcha. Better results as in you can progressively overload more quickly or you can see more muscle gain, or both?

Both. Should always be both. Helps with fatigue as well, I can keep improving my lifts with less rest days.

More effort into each and every set and rep is key. Thats where that will work. But not into more volume. Intensity matters much more than volume.

Got it. How would you recommend changing up my set numbers per workout?

It’s gonna depend on what you want and wanna do. I personally do 2 sets of hack squat, 3 sets of leg extensions, 3 sets of hamstring curls, 2 sets of sldl, 2 sets of adductors, 1 set of abductors, 2 sets of calf raises. However, I alternate on my leg days. I will do this once, then the next leg day I might lower my sets by 1 or 2 for quads and add a hamstring set, or vice versa. Or I might only squat once during the week. Or I’ll do hamstrings on a different day entirely.
