Exercises for Thighs

[Scott Stevenson]

I just started setting up my FT-program, I am planning to start the Basic version Tier I after my contest.

But I´m a bit unsure about my exercise selection and I was hoping for some feedback.

I´ve the following exercises thus far
THIGH
Load: barbell sumo squat, wide stance leg press, sumo deadlifts, smith machine squat
Pump: hipthrust, glute bridge, pull through
Muscle Rounds: reverse hyper, bulgarians, wide stance leg press, hipthrust

QUADS
Load: hack squat variations
Pump: walking lunge, leg extensions, sissy squat, goblet squat, step-ups
Muscle Rounds: walking lunge, leg extensions, sissy squat

HAMS
Load: SLDL variations, GHR, leg curl, good mornings
Pump: leg curl, back extension, SLDL
Muscle Rounds: leg curl

So... I hope you can help me telling if I´m on the right path

Lisa,

Thanks for staring this separate thread.

So, you're on the right path with including exercises for quads and hams that also hit the glutes, to get overlap. Well done there.

One thought, too, is that simply loading the living hell out of your glutes won't necessarily make them grow. Ensuring the right training dose so you can progressively overload is the ticket here, so fi, for instance, your glutes are always sore and not growing, there's a sign you've gone overboard.

Other notes:

-Walking lunges won't work well for MR's. You could do BB / Smith / DB lunches and do sets of 4 with each leg, alternatingly.

-You've still not quite asked a question specifically as to what you're unsure of. What is not clear to you or what are you thinking might not be a good choice, specifically?...
