hey,
I am wanting to redo my leg workout. I lift 3 times a week (legs, push, pull) As it stands now:
Monday: Legs
Squat 3x8
Lunges 3x10
SLDL: 3x10
calf raises: 3x10
I have a couple of problems with this workout.
1. I don't think the Straight leg deadlifts are necessary. I do deadlifts on Friday, and I feel this might be an overload on my lower back.
2. Lunges. I am scarred shitless that my knee is going to give out anyday now. Maybe this is because pretty much all of my friends are having to have surgery on their knees. It seems to be the wink link as far as MMA training goes. I've heard that lunges on bad on the knees, and I can feel my knees click when I do them. I am pretty sure thats not a good thing.
I was also wondering...is it OK to have nothing but squats for leg day? Such as squats, then front squats, and so on?
Any suggestions what I can replace the lunges with?
Thanks.
