    Is your upper body lagging? Are you into martial arts?

    Reason I ask is you seem to be prioritising the upper body over legs, fair enough if its lagging, but you'll see better results with another leg day squeezed in somewhere.

    And I see you are doing hanging leg raises, its a common misconception that this exercise works the abs when it actually works the hip flexors, great if you are a martial artist and want to improve your kicking power, otherwise useless for developing a six pack.

    I'm not into martial arts no. My legs are probably the strongest part of my body, in respect to my progress in bodybuilding.
    So do you reckon I would benefit from doing 6 workouts a week, splitting my legs session into 2 and putting more exercises in? Time is a bit of a problem tbh, and 6 days a week would put a strain on my studies. And the legs session I have seems to nail me for a good few days.
    Would a split like the following be better?
    Chest and abs
    Legs (and lower back)
    Shoulders and biceps
    Back and triceps

    Oh, and also, by leg raises I meant where I am lying down with a weight between my feet and then raise/lower my legs about a foot off the ground.
    And another thing, I forgot to mention that I go for a 4 mile jog on day 7

    If its working for you and your upper body is not getting away from your lower then stick with it. Eventually you might find your physique looking a little unbalanced but this would easily be rectified by dropping an upper body workout for a lower.

    Those weighted leg raises should be fine for hitting the abs, never done them myself.
