Any program IMO that trains legs with any other bodypart or trains chest and back together was written by a jackass who hasn't a clue to proper training.

Do them on leg day! This was just a rough guideline.

lifstiron, how do you feel about alternating sets with chest/back? ive done it a few times as a change of pace to normal workouts. maybe for a month to shake the routine up a little bit. just a thought.
Bench or Incline barbell Presses 6x8-12
alternate with
Weighted Chins 6x4-6
Flat Bench or Incline Dumbell Presses 4x8-12
alternate with
Barbell Bent-over rows 4x8-12
Weighted Dips 3x8-12
alternate with
Seated Rows 3x8-12
Incline or Flat bench Flyes 3x10-15
alternate with
Pulldowns 3x10-15
a rest of 2 minutes between each set seems to be enough recovery to get through the workout. i noticed after completing these workouts a nice all over upper body pump. usually i would take a day off before and after (maybe just cardio on the off days) to add a little extra rest. just wondering what you thought of this or am i a jackass too.
