    Hey Joe, have been a member off and on for 6 months. Love the new app. Great job! I’m 44, training since I was 17. I’ve had good results with an upper/lower split for the most part and stick to a total
    of 8-10 total work sets (always followed a DY or DC type philosophy when it comes to volume) however I’d like to change things a little by doing a PPL split 4x a week (T, Th, Sat, Sun). My main leg “go to” movements are: front squats, seated leg curls, RDL’s, Hack Squats, and trap bar deadlifts using the high handles. I’ve read a number of posts on here in relation to where to place RDL’s but still confused. I tend to feel these in the upper back. There’s some slight knee flexion once the bar goes past my knees. If I put these on back day (first movement) then that leaves me with just one day or rest before I hit my quads with front squats. If my back isn’t sore/fatigued from RDL’s then 48 hours is fine I suppose but my concern is overuse or work being done by the erectors. Is there a better way of programming these in?
