I started splitting it in 2 workouts this week:quads and calves and hammies and glutes.

Now I can do 20 sets of quads and 20 sets of hammies and glutes

Or maybe I'm just crazy haha?

Sometimes I split them, sometimes I do one session. To me it depends on how much energy I have left after doing calves and quads.
