Really great exercise selection. Only recommendations would be to cut down those exercises to all 2 sets instead of 3. Also, use a rep range instead of a set number of reps.

if you can i would split it so that one leg day is glute/quad focus and the second one is hamstrings/ glutes! i’ve done this and it actually makes your workouts shorter and easier to manage as a student :)

What would you add or remove?

I would add barbell squats. No other kind of exercise can really tear and stretch glutes the way squats can.

Are you doing glute or quad biased Bulgarians?

If possible I would recommend working out 2-3x a week with a version of this workout with less sets. Women tend to be able to work out more frequently, and having less sets per workout would lead to higher quality work while not taking up too much time

RDLs will also do wonders for the glutes

"tears" and "stretch" in the big 25🥀. This person DOES NOT need more volume

I might cut out between 1 and 4 sets depending on how you feel after 48 hours. You could cut down a set of calf raises and leg extension but this is not a bad glute bias leg day at all

Yes this is exactly what I’m looking for but routines I’ve seen online are scarce. Can you share an example of yours?

My friends tell me deadlifts even done safe can still lead to injury. Plus, I hit traps and forearms good enough during my back day, I also do back extensions on that day too.

“Credentials” mean nothing. Jay Cutler literally admitted to not training his legs for years straight because they would get too big. Genetics play a massive role

This does work, but don’t really recommend if you want to grow your legs the best

There’s no need for more volume with this current split. She is already training the hips through extension with hip thrusts and bulgarians, no need for RDLs. Also, not trying to be rude, but “tears” and “stretch” you shouldn’t be giving advice if you have no idea what you’re talking about

I’m downvoting your comments because I have a kinesiology degree and have been bodybuilding for 7 years. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. “Stretch” and “tear” I mean come on dude

quads/glutes: squats/ squat variant, hip thrust, glute focus bulgarian split squats (tho this mainly favors the glutes, the quads still help in this exercise, leg extension, and if i’m feeling spicy i’ll end off with a goblet squat superset! hamstrings/glutes: hip thrust, rdl, glute focused bulgarians,and leg curls!
