Sounds good..I'll implement these suggestions..Thanx brotherI vary exercise choice , when gaining mass I’ll do 6-8 rep range sometimes for about 8 weeks and then up to 10-12 range another 8 weeks.
As for legs I do a hamstring focused day early in week , and a quad focused day later in week.
One of 2 things ,
1. You may not be recovering enough from leg workouts. You can be overtraining and short circuiting your legs. Sometimes less training days but more intensity is better and allows for recovery.
I’d try spacing out the leg workouts more 4 days apart at least with one focused on hamstrings, glutes, calves. Other day quad focussed
Try that for 8-12 weeks and assess.
If not responding try doing just one massive leg day a week but only once a week to allow for more recovery.
Those would be my 2 recommendations, drop sets and stuff are good to shock the body maybe once every 3-4 weeks to make sure muscles constantly being shocked but I wouldn’t do it every time if trying to build legs and mass. I’d rather do heavier loads on your working sets 6-8 reps for mass and split your leg days further apart to allow for recovery.
And then after 8-12 weeks try just one leg day a week and see which you respond to better. Everyone is different but sometimes we don’t grow because we are overtraining or training similar muscle groups too close together.
As always make sure you have a solid nutrition plan for your goal whether that be to add mass or to cut.
