A little history would help here. Are you legs considered a weak point? or have trouble recovering them in the past? I take it from the the tone of your post this does not seem to be the case. But thought prudent to ask.
For a more programming type questions. What tier are you running? and what kind of pump sets are you doing? Are there a certain day you are having more issues with? Loading? MRs? or just general overall fatigue? How do you have your days spaced out?
All of these could play big factors in recovery. I've had some help in tweaking some of these things. So figured I'd share a bit of knowledge
In the past I could do legs 2x a week with more volume. They were sore right up to the day I trains them again. Reps were always above 20 even on squats. So going back to heavy lifting is what I'm thinking is what's getting them.
I have been reading a lot. I see u posts a lot of good stuff. So thanks for ur time brother. Sorry for the long ass post here
I'm running tier 2.
Pump set my first week I did 2 warm up sets then went after it. This week I just went right into pump sets. I added another if I didn't feel pumped.
Issues just on leg days. Overall just don't feel fresh and strong. Today is my mr with focus on legs. If I'm not feeling rested with them tomorrow I'll drop legs out.
Upper body is a different beast for me. I recover fast. I have add some stuff to pump and mr with no issues
Arms? Do u find that they are enough with Scott lays out. Or do u add to it. I could be over thinking things and should keep to his program.
My program is Monday load legs. Wednesday load chest Friday lower mr focus. Saturday upper mr focus.
Calories could be a issue. I'm in a growth phase. Trying something new. Workout days 4500. Calories (205# today) carbs 500 ish/ pro 385/ fats 100. Rest days I drop to 3200. Carbs 130/ pro 440/ fat 100. Need to drop protein and up fats. Maybe up calories on rest day of training day? Weight hasn't gone up in 2 weeks
