    Shoulders/Traps. But I do throw in a compound leg move every lift day, and don't have a dedicated "leg day". It's easier on the legs for me!

    Leg day here too. Just doing a general circuit of 7 or so moves, squats, walking lunges, kickbacks, press and a few others. I'll also do 20 minutes of core and a bit of cardio.

    Leg Day, too.
    Tomorrow when I need to perch on the john I'm gonna be like:

    I did legs today too
    Feels great to have it done so early in the day. Usually I work out much later

    Low bar squats giving 5x5 a try again.
    Conventional deadlift 3x5
    Front squat 4x10
    Calves


    Also, I don’t understand being sore after leg day. I squat and deadlift 2x a week but still get nothing more than a bit of cramping.

    Did some squats, some more squats, then a few more squats, then hit the posterior a little with some good mornings, leg curls, and hip extensions. A little abdominal work too.

    Zumba night for me. Still trying to work up the courage to get back to the weight lifting section.

    I’ve been sick so today will be the first day to the gym this week. Even though I’ve been sick I’ve still been watching what I eat and didn’t allow myself to binge eat while on the couch. So I’ll act as if it’s my Monday routine and do cardio and back/biceps.

    Nah, I get you - I haven't gotten sore the next day after heavy lifts in a while; with the exception of my pecs and biceps, which always stay a little touchy after my bench / curl day.

    I usually train lower body 4x per week, and unless it's a new cycle, I rarely get super sore. Probably due to the frequency and volume spread out over the week. I do get some awful growing pain feelings in my legs (nothing I can't train through though).

    Yeah, nothing you can't train through, but still sore. My pain threshold isn't high unfortunately. I've been strength training for years. Still gets the DOMS. Frustrating and annoying as hell. But then I have Sjogren's so my system isn't all that cooperative from the get-go in ANYTHING. I still do the thing regardless.

    Going heavier for the sake of being sore isn't exactly optimal or wise.

    For sure. It's surprising to me how much being "sore" is used in-context with success in training or effectiveness.

    Thanks Lanny!

    Not sure what my last attempt will be. I have some ideas, but let’s see what squats bring me. If I squat well, I tend to bench well in meets.

    And to expand on this, it’s the eccentric part of the movement which creates the soreness.

    Close Squats, Bench, Slingshot Bench, Rack Pulls. Intensity moderate to high with some volume (3x5 @ 85% moving to heavy trips or doubles for a couple of sets).
