Bro need to know a little more about you. I must admit I stopped reading your routine when u only did 7 sets total for your legs. I do 25 sets but I have been in the gym 20 years now. SO if u let us know more about you and your goals then maybe the people on here can help u out.

25? damn that seems like a lot

I hate working hamstrings, so basically that drops about 5 sets from the routine

I am usually 'burnt' after doing 4 or 5 sets of squats, so I don't know how much more I can add

I have been doing 2 leg press warmups before squatting, so I will add that to the list

I am trying to gain more muscle, lose about 5-10 lbs of fat
I'd like to be a lean, muscular 200 lbs
