Hey guys I was on TSPA and switched over to MANS and the new THT 4.0 but I have been having problems with deadlifts. Now that legs are done on Tuesday and then Deadlifts happen Thursday I have not been able to do them because my legs are still too sore from Tuesday. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there were any fixes for it. I thought of going to a six day split where i would do just abs on wednesday then chest thursday so that there would be two solid days of no legs then I could hit up back Friday and Tris Saturday. Like I said its just a thought but any and all feed back is welcomed

You could do the following:

MON
QUADS/CALVES

TUE
CHEST/TRICEPS

WED
BICEP/FOREARMS/ABS

THU
SHOULDERS/TRAPS

FRI
BACK/HAMS

OR

MON
QUADS/HAM/CALVES

TUE
BICEP/FOREARMS/TRICEPS

WED
SHOULDERS/TRAPS

THU
BACK

FRI
CHEST/ABS

Thanks krs unfortunately I just got back on the forums today and i already did the normal shoulers to day I will definately give your splits a try they look perfect for my problem

The first split that krs mentioned looks like THT 2.0. I'm on my second cycle of that now and I love it. I havent had any problems with my monday or friday workout either.

Then I am definately putting the first split into use next week I'll let you guys know how i fair with it.

NizzlyBear73 there is just one difference with the first split than the THT as lv2snwbrd mentioned.

On Monday Quads & Calves I prefer a higher volume. That's why quads and calves are grouped together giving me more time to fit in a few more quad dominate exercises not too many as we are still going to failure.

1st Front Squats
2nd Front Squats
3rd Front Squats
4th Single Leg Press
5th Single Leg Press
6th Leg Extensions (feet inward) supersetted with Back Squats
7th Static Dumbell Lunges
8th Static Dumbell Lunges need a good 5 mins of rest before killing calves I find a higher rep range works best for me on calves.
9th Standing Calf Raise
10th Standing Calf Raise
11th Seated Calf raise

Friday Back & Hams I add around 4 ham exercises as I only do 2 sets of deadlifts. For back I prefer dumbbell rows than barbell. I feel I can concentrate and put more focus on my back by doing one-arm dumbbell rows than doing barbell plus the rang of motion is greater with dumbbells.

1st Deadlifts
2nd Deadlifts
3rd One-Arm Rows
4th One-Arm Rows with one drop set 20% weight reduction
5th Lat Pulldowns
6th Lat Pulldowns
7th Wide-Grip Seated Rows
8th Leg Curl
9th Leg Curl
10th Standing Leg Curl
11th Standing Leg Curl

I used to have the same problem. So I switched legs and shoulders so legs was my first workout of the week giving me an extra day for recovery before hitting the dreaded deadlift.

Over time my body finally got used to those heavy leg workouts and my recovery time is now improving.

@krs thanks for the claraficaton and @ toeser thanks for the input that idea totally slipped my mind lol I really appreciate the input guys
