Leg day routine (2 days)

I wrote out a little plan based on the Willy work-out from my previous post + one of my first posts. I think it will be a lot, and especially in the beginning i will probably die. I might adjust some things here and there, but ultimately this is what i want to work towards. I will start with low weights again and then see how high i can work myself up. Especially doing squats again after having not done them for a while always effs me up lol. So definitely doing a lot of stretching of the adductors etc. is gonna be important. My idea is just to do a workout at home > go to the gym > do workout at home > stretch. That is gonna be it. I hope at one point to be able to do some of these exercises in the gym. Except for RDLs, i will probably always do those at home. 

I then at one point also need to figure out an upper body day and when i want to do that, cause i can feel my upper body becoming weaker. I think i want to figure out a program that mainly focuses on my back and my LATS with a little bit of light bicep work. I did a 1 day a week upper body routine before that served me decently well (the one my personal trainer gave me). I feel like my muscles grew pretty fast especially for only doing it once a week. So i think i can just keep doing that, but then with more of a focus on back/lats.
