As far as Calves, Abs, And Obliques go; well I keep rotating them around

I.e. day 1 Abs, day 2 Calves, day 3 Obliques, day 4 Abs, etc

I have 1 day off every 1-2 weeks, as well as the weights program I do quite a bit of cardio.

Each session will take from 1 to 1 and a half hours, some days doing 2 sessions.

My Question Is with the legs, if you look at my Pics on the post your pic forum, you can see they are still underdeveloped for bodybuilding. Is there any thing I should change on this program to increase the leg mass?

Thanks

That looks like a really good routine. I'm seriously considering nicking it for myself!

The biggest question I have is where you say you have 1 day off every 1-2 weeks. Up until I read that I'd assumed it was a Mon-Fri routine, and you took Sat and Sun off. But are you rotating through constantly with no rest days at all? I'm not so keen on that - I think you'd be at real risk of overtraining, if that's what you're doing.

As for legs, I think what you're doing is good, although a bit light in the hamstring department. I see you're working adductors specifically. Try shifting to a different stance on squats - a narrower stance will work more the outer sweep of the quads (the ABductors) and so give you more width.

Originally it was a six day program having Sunday Off, with the 6th day being Extras - Calves, Abs, and Hamstrings. Changed it so I could work them more. I guess ya right about the Hams though. As for the rest days, depending how my body feels I am just taking a random day off in-between every 6-12 days , I feel that with the supplements I am taking and my age (testosterone levels) that I don’t need that whole one week off per muscle group.

Sorry I meant to write cable abductors (not adductors :disgusted: ). Also question with the narrow stance with the squats, my 45 degree leg press is at a close stance already, do you think I still need to change my squat to close stance?
