Legs + abs · arm-focused 5-day
Day 5 keeps the legs trained without stealing recovery from the upper-body priority. It is machine-based — leg press, extensions, and curls — so it is joint-friendly and easy to run solo, and it gives the arms and shoulders a full day off.
Keep the reps high and the effort honest. Finish with calves and core.

Machines let you train legs hard without heavy spinal loading or a spotter, and they keep this day from cutting into the recovery the arm and shoulder days need.
You can, but training legs supports overall size and balance. Keeping one efficient machine-based leg day is a good trade-off when your focus is upper body.
