Is it okay to do arms/legs sameday?

Doing a proper quad/ham/calf workout is going to seriously drain you. I've always done my legs alone, as you won't have enough energy left to properly target the other muscle group. I prefer Bi's/Forearms together, it allows me to really put 100% into my Bi's. Here's an example of my routine at the moment, if you get an itch for something new...try it out.

Monday-Quads/Calves/hams
Tuesday-Shoulders/Abs
Wednesday-Back/Traps
Thursday-Off
Friday-Chest/Tri's
Saturday-Bi's/Forearms
Sunday-Off
 
Legs are your biggest muslce part bros..recovery time does vary..but typically 3-6 days. Depending on your genetics, (meaning what muscles are stubborn on YOUR particular body) I would say that YOU NEED to work the legs twice a week for rapid growth to take place.

Also, dont worry about WHEN you do your leg routine thats just getting way to envolved in the antics of the game. Most important thing I can tell you is do them 2x's a week (IF recovery allows...and eventually it will bc the body start to get use to thing), eat your proper cals, carbs, pros, and hit them at different angles (get creative with legs they are a large muscle and very hard to hit all angles with just 1 or 2 exercises.

In fact, while Im talking about it lets be serious those of us with wheels....You actually need to do many sets. My leg workout usually takes 1.25 -1.5 hours. I typcially do about 25 sets with about 30-45 seconds rest. WANT BIG LEGS TO MORE SETS...ITS REALLY HARD TO OVERWORK YOUR LEGS BROS
 
after legs i am a hot mess

-leg press working up to 18 total 45s then a drop set from 18 to 14,12,10,8 plate. you might throw up or $hit yourself. this one always gives me a head ache (think its from the pressure build up)
-then hack squats (bad back for regular squats) 6 total plates 4 sets of 12
-leg extentions 3 sets one leg at a time with 100lbs with a pause at the top.
-leg curls for the hammys (close to the whole rack) super setted with standing calve raise (300lb on machine and i throw 4 45s ontop of the machine) 6 sets

dont sacrifice your leg work out so you have the energy to do arms..again...for the second time that week.
