Comments
levrone's program is ideal for a 3 day a week split, just an example...12sets for chest, 9 sets for shoulders, 9 sets for tris, when doing lateral movements you can superset it with tris already..rest between set kept to a minimum, youll be finished in a hour tops...
I'm thinking of reducing it and focus on lower parts legs only.
Tuesday and Saturday (2x per week)

I'm having difficulty of that Romanian Deadlift I feel my abs and hips are working not legs, I know there are lots on Youtube but they're almost the same execution, maybe you guys have links or illustration on how to execute properly?
if youre having trouble and you think your form is spot on...move to a lighter weight for the meantime until you get a mind and muscle connection or switch to stiff legged deadlifts
Thanks for the suggestion its manageable now.
How about this program below (legs) hitting twice per week is not too much?

as long as you are done less than an hour its ok, btw bigger muscles can take more training volume, bi and tris, you can do 9 sets each
Thank you guys for all the replies
