Have any of you ever tried squatting 3 times per week? I remember doing 1-3 sets of 20 reps Monday, Wednesday and Friday in my late teens and I made very good size and strength gains. I am considering doing something like this again, but now that I'm in my 40's, I'm not sure that I can recover as quickly... I tried doing this on Monday with light weight, but went ATG for 3 sets of 20 reps. I trained delts, bi, tri today and was going to squat again tomorrow morning, but I'm still pretty sore from yesterday's workout... In fact, I am more sore from the 3 sets of 20 with light weight, than what I've been in a long time with about triple the weight...
Another option is to train legs, but focus on leg presses and leg extensions for quads and doing heavier deadlifts for hamstrings... Monday, I only did leg curls and my hams aren't sore at all... Then go back to squats on Friday and add to the weight I did Monday...
Anyone have experience with training legs 3 times per week? I was looking through the featured members on this board and I did come across one of the earlier members who did squats twice per week and a third leg workout that focused on lunges and leg extensions...
