whats your back and leg routines look like im just curious? If your doing BB squats, and SLDL's, hacks and another ham exercise then i seriously doubt you are done in 30 mins even 45 mins, if your doing leg presses, with leg curls and leg ext. then sure. It depends what exercises your doing and the intensity your performing them at for you aussie i think thats pretty reasonable for the exercises your doing but why no legs? Is that due to the operation?
Hmm. This week, for legs I did 3 sets of leg press drop sets to start: 8 plates for 12 reps; drop to 7 for 12; then 7&a 25lb to 6&25; 7 & 6&25; then 6& a 25 for 25 reps to finish. I then went and did 3 sets of front squats for 12 reps with 225; one set of hacks with 2 plates aside for 20 reps not locking out at top nor bottoming out - tension!. To finish, I did one set of 20 reps with that leg press thingy where the chair you sit in moves, full stack. Two sets of lying leg curls and I'm done. Takes me about an hour and I can still feel it. I use what I call the 'towel test' - I like to get deep into oxygen debt for legs and if I'm not not wiping off my face after every set, I'm not working hard enough. I will change things up next week.
For back this week: three sets hammer pull-downs; three sets hammer rows; two sets pendlay rows; two sets t-bars; two sets one arm rows; and two sets of wide pulldowns. I finished with 3 sets of behind the back smith machine shrugs (v. heavy); 3 sets dbs with a nice pause at top. The key to back is to pull back as far as possible and keep up a good pace. Obviously don't get into oxygen debt to the same extent as legs, but 'towel test' still used. Again, change it up next week. Time about 45-55 mins.
