So from my understanding you are hitting each muscle group once every seven days?

Such methods are usually favoured for muscle growth rather than strength or can be used for maintaining strength once strength as been Gained. Some people can gain Strength from doing an exercise once a week but most for optimal gains in strength and motor unit adapting need to do an exercise a few times a week. Since I dont know your current ability or strength levels its hard for me to say. Can you do 10 reps of deep Squats with your body weight? Deadlift twice your body weight? Do you seem to make strength gains from hitting a muscle group once a week? Some do, some do not.

If your training your legs Once a week. This may be an idea. I not seen the DVD but I believe these are the exercises.

On Leg Day

Squats 3 sets 10
Wide Squats 3 sets of 10
Stiff leg Deadlifts 3 sets 15
Adductor flys or adductor pulldowns ( Not seen DVD so dont know what Tom recommends).

The rest of your leg routine

Most Body Builders do Deadlift on Back day and since your routine seems to be more like a Bodybuilders routine. Core work the exercises and recommendations of Mr Kurz 3 times a week may be optimal. :-)

I have not seen the DVD. So not sure when your at which level and what Tom Recommends. Was the DVD not available in your Language? Another option for a split maybe to train your whole body 3 times per week. I personally find this better for strength gains but one shoe doesnt fit all and depends on your other goals and what you personally are tring to achieve.


3 times a week with a rest day between sessions.

1) Squats 3 sets 10
2) Wide Squats 3 sets 10
3) Adductor flys or Pulldowns
4) Stiff leg Deadlifts
4) Dumbbell shoulder press 3 sets 10
5) Bench press 3 sets 10
6) Lat Pull down 3 x 10

End session with Isometric stretching and Relaxed stretching.

Yess I believe though Im not 100percent sure, mr Kurz reccommends you beable to do 10 deep Squats with your body weight and beable to deadlift double your weight before you move onto the Isometric Stretching.

So if building the Strength to that standard is your aim the Fullbody Program 3 times a week would likely be the right approach with the relevant Leg exercises.
