Hello all, I have met somewhat of a crossroads in my routine and just wanna see other opinions. First off, I'm only asking to 100% ensure if its an objective fact or mere opinion based off knowledge. My buddies believe it is too much work on legs in 1 week, but it seems their limits are purely mental because like Cory Gregory with squat every day, after 2 weeks i feel great and it's like second nature but they insist I'm fortunate/getting hurt any day.

Monday morning: 15x hill sprints, agility, 3x uphill forward lunges, 3x uphill side lunges, 3x uphill backward lunges

4x super sets of floor core (planks sit-ups mason twists)
Stretch recover

mid day: 9x sets of box jumps (3 seated, 3 from sit-up position, 3 regular)
3x sets of split box jumps
5x sets of jump ropes
5x sets of calf raises
5x sets of burpees

5x Hanging ab supersets (leg raises, windshield wipers)

Night time: weighted session

3x sets of 1 legged step up knee drives (105 lb barbell)
3x sets of 1 legged dead lifts (bosu ball)
3x sets of hamstring curls (med ball)
3x sets of explosive 1 legged squats (40 lb kettle bell)

8x standing Ab wheel

Monday - Friday weekend rest

Is this detrimental over an extended period of time? Feel more flexible than ever joints feel great etc and as much as I insist they tell me otherwise. Follow instincts, listen, or mesh?

When I say weighted, I mean core compound movements with 70%+ of 1RM

Even so, no you're fine. Keep killing it

Ah I see, thank you. Do you recommend adding that in and if so where? I have wanted to implement it but am nervous I might lose mobility in sports but if its ultimately beneficial then it's go time

Heavy squats will help your athletic ability.

thats fine

seems mostly like endurance work, so its normal to have a lot of it in

heavy compounds in excess can hinder progress, but this is npnp
