You’re making it harder on yourself to see progress going to the gym without a plan.
Create structure and watch the difference.
Seen the most lower body growth using this methodology:
Pick two compound/functional movements.
Pick 2-3 accessory movements targeting the muscle group you’re trying to grow.
Aim for progressive overload week over week (an extra rep, more weight, added set)
Examples:
Leg day split 1 - targeting glutes/back body
👉🏽 Deadlift or RDL
👉🏽 Hip thrust
👉🏽 Seated leg curl
👉🏽 Cable kick back
👉🏽 Abductor machine (or clam shells)
Leg day split 2 - targeting quads/adductors
👉🏽 Squat variation of choice (Front, high bar back squat or goblet best for quads)
👉🏽 Walking or Stationary lunges
👉🏽 Leg extensions
👉🏽 Adductor machine
👉🏽 Copenhagen planks
Depending on how many lifts per week you do - great to mix these up for a comprehensive lower body too.
