I agree it's a lot to fit in. I watch Mark Lewis on Youtube who squeezes it all in together at a much higher level than i'm capable of. I like the idea of weights/KOT in the evenings because this is a point where i get notoriously bored when my wife goes to bed. I guess that's why i historically keep weight sessions lighter just to squeeze it all in, but as you know there ends up being minimal benefit from doing so.
Good point on loading the bar for stability, although i suppose there's the risk that then overloads the weight limits of the rack as as you say it's not the sturdiest with only 2 bolts holding the vertical pieces in place.
I had thought that the KOT would be ok to just supplement the weights. I'm only on the Zero program which is mostly a range of calf raises, tib raises and some single leg BW squats along with some stretching work. The full program has requirements for the weighted tib bar/monkey feet/sled which i don't have. As mentioned the monkey feet i imagine i'll cave in at some point. The benefits it gives for being able to work out the hip flexors and hamstring/leg curls in a home environment is massive. The tib bar i think i'll look to make one of the DIY versions once i progress past the BW exercises. The sled i'd love, but cost/space is a big issue.
I've only started it this week so unsure how progression/overloading is done on the Zero program. My main plan was to spend the initial trial month on it for cost reasons and then see how things go. At the moment i'm unsure where the benefit of paying ~£35 a month for the Zero plan is on a long term perspective. Obviously on the full program you're getting a lot more benefits and variety to the workouts.
At the moment, the KOT stuff is purely leg based. I think i'll follow that religiously, then aim for 1-2 weight sessions a week. Going heavy and more focussed on just 3-4 exercises per session (Mixture of Bench, OH Press, Squats and Deadlifts in various varieties) and keep to the running and then see where i am in a months time.
Thanks for your help and i'll stop clogging up this thread for now
