I’ve been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.
I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.
However I don’t do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?
It’s definitely not required but people tend to dedicate a whole workout to the larger muscle groups for the sake of structure and focus.
Your legs have many large muscles so they require a lot of work and a variety of excersise. Combining these excises into a single workout helps ensure you target all of those muscles.
It also allows you to do compound excersise like squats followed up immediately by targeted excersise of individual muscles which I personally think is more efficient than doing them on different days.
Exactly. Leg days are by far my longest workout for the week. It just takes so much time, especially if you’re working a single leg at a time.
Also, you get a whole week for the muscle group to repair itself.
