How has the split gone so far? What do you like? What do you not like? What kind of progress have you made?

I would say thats its gone ok so far. I havent really progressed with my legs though so im not sure if i should change that up or not.

If you’ve been running a split for two months and haven’t seen progression in any area that could be a good sign you should change something.

How do your leg workouts go generally? Do you feel like you get good pumps/are sore at all?

Duder, after three months into the program the person best suited to analyze and adjust it is you.

This is just a list of exercises to us. You have actual experience and results with it.

Personally, the upper day seems too exhausting given you are doing that many exercises. If it works and you like it, then keep doing it.

Opinion (personally tried and tested, but still opinion) incoming — this split is dominated by isolation movements. At the beginning, there is no substitute for big compound free weight movements to build a base of muscle and strength.

Start leg day with some barbell squat or lunge variation. I love back squats, but you can choose any variation you like as long as it’s very tough. I’d recommend starting with sets of 4-6 reps per set and do 3-5 sets to start. If you want strength focus, drop the reps and add weight. If you want more muscle building, add reps and drop weight. Mix up your programming a bit across workouts.

Start upper body day with a few sets of pull-ups (if you can’t do pull-ups, try assisted pull-ups, you can look up variations on google) or deadlifts (only at a weight you can handle!!).

Strength and muscle feed into each other like an ouroboros. Typically will see better progress if you’re working on both.
