    Because I was specifically replying to the part I quoted, which is just nonsense. Training isn't about proving how hardcore you are by running yourself in to the ground every day.

    If you want me to respond to the rest: telling somebody with physique goals to drop his leg workout is ****ing ridiculous, although it's a position that many recreational trainees seem to stand by; incidently, the people that take this stand have chicken legs completely out of proportion to the rest of their body.

    If you don't train hard enough, you'll never improve. I think you get stronger legs by running, doing squats, and hill runs.

    Looks tough, but if you can stick with it, you should see results fast.
    I hope you're reasonably young and able bodied. If you're not that fit, or over 35 I would recommend sticking with training once a day instead of 2 and gradually raising your level of effort.
    Also, Tuesday and Wednesday you are doing legs on consecutive days. I recommend splitting those days up. Running (or anything involving legs for that matter) is pretty tough to do the next day after a challenging squat or thrust routine.

    Best of luck. Sounds like you're pretty motivated for serious results fast. Let us know how your progress goes.

    Do you think you can get stronger legs by doing those squats, with a **** ton of weight on your back at the same time?
    You sound like you're new to all this, probably best if you refrain from giving out training advice.

    The routine looks very good but there IS too much sprinting, your hammies will hate you. The only change Id make would be to change the football pitch sprints at least to intervals, about 6x400m intervals or 4x800m intervals after a warmup of course and to put the intervals before your sprints because the sprints will make you sore for your intervals, this way your not sore. That way your doing 2 longer runs (take it slow, let it be active recovery that gets you more fit and lean) 2 interval workouts and 2 sprint sessions.

    The only obstacle is the sprints, start with a few (4) and when the soreness is manageable give yourself a week or 2 and then add another 1 or 2 sprints. Otherwise youll never keep up such a schedule.

    He's trying to get a better physique, he can get away with much less intense cardio, get the same fat loss and be able to put more effort in to his weight training.

    Again, it's not about how hardcore you can train, it's about how efficient or close to optimal your training can be. Given his goal, the advice that you're giving him is pushing him in the opposite direction.

    If you out of shape and planning on getting fit then you setting yourself up to fail. That's too tough and not enough time for your body to recover
