Yeah before a typical leg workout for me would be like squats 3x6 heavy leg press 3x8 heavy SL deadlift 2x10 Leg extensions 3x12 once a week and i just wasnt gaining so lowering the volume and upping the frequency has helped I am a former swimmer and cross country runner and ectomorph...

ok, thanks. Clearly, the volume is lower than if you did a full leg day with multiple different exercises, so it makes sense.

I'm thinking of doing either SPBR, or one of the Reg Parks routines after I finish SS. Anyone here who have tried both? The routine looks great, obviously, with a bit more isolation work than SS as well. But it does look intense! Barbell Bent over Row 5x5 Deadlift 3x5 Ah, that must be hell when the sets are getting heavy as ****!
