What is the plan for the quads and hams DK?
Do you feel that training your back on one day and the shoulders the next day is hard on the posterior deltoids ? I mean, for me after a back day I can be a little sore in the rear shoulders.

Squats, squats and then squat some more.
in the past i did a lot of legpress and hack squats and extensions but i didn't ever see the growth i wanted until i squated. Even still when i started i thought i was going parallel but once i had a friend video my set then i realized i was still stopping too high. i put my ego in check (not easy) and started from scratch building my way back up with truelly deep squats. in one year i added nearly 3 inches on my upper quad measurement and actually built some glutes.
So basically I'm going to keep banging away attempting to get my squats as heavy as possible in the 8-10 rep range. secondary exercises are lunges, ham curls and although I've yet to try it as my gym doesn't have one -glute/ham developer.

Although my rear delts sometimes get a bit sore from back day it never affects my shoulder day negatively, in fact the soreness in my traps allow me to feel them in order to get them isolated out of my lateral movements.

What weight do you typically use in that rep range ? Also do you increase the weight weekly and maintain 8-10 ?
currently 295 for 8-10. upped it to 315 the last few workouts but reps dropped to around 5-6. So in order to keep increasing weight i do decrease reps then work on increasing reps with it. It's amazing how much harder an exercise is, if done in the fullest range...those last 4 inches in the pocket are amazing for growth
