Any touch up leg work? Or do you feel legs about every 6th day isnplenty? I know doing legs at 305 is a whole different animal than at 210
Super random question, thoughts on farmers walks? I do 2x days a week "GPP" like hill sprints, rope pulling and been thinking about farmers walks again. Ever use them, opinion?
LEG DAY today
Had a freakin early ass work meeting at 9AM so hit the gym after. Its a HIGH day so working out later kinda fucks up my meals. Just getting in 6 meals of 150+ carbs per meal is HARD if your first meal is at 11am. Its a bitch and it becomes a force feeding day.
Like i mentioned earlier, right meniscus is still shitty. I try to warm up as much as possible and wear sleeves. Some days i feel good, others i feel like trash. Today was ok though.
Abductor machine: Stack w/ 2 sec squeeze x 13, 120 MR 6x4
Adductor machine: Stack w/ 2 sec squeeze x 16, 160 MR 6x4
I've maxed both of these out so I add a squeeze just to keep the reps down. I need to buy one of those pin extenders.
Seated ham curls: 160x10.5, 140 MR 6x4
Leg Ext: 120 x 20reps....5 sets. Warm those knees up. Cant really load this anymore due to right knee.
Hip Hinge Glute Machine: 90x10, 70x16
Hack Squat: work up to 5 pps x 17, 3pps x 25
Leg Press: 6 pps x 20 reps....4 sets
Donkey Calf raises: 4 sets of 20 reps...just pump work
I've been trying to just load (at higher reps) 1 compound exercise and then the other compound lift just pump multiple sets of 20 reps.
Now to eat....all day.
Jesus Christ your a tank. I’ve recently moved to all higher rep work for legs for a 4 week block to see what happens.
I would do a load set 10-12 reps on hacks/presses/squats then a backoff set. This time I’m just going to take the first set to failure around 18-20, then keep weight the same and go to failure again (14-15 reps) then move on.
Except hams, my hams like 10-12 range. And I’d die with high rep RDLs
Let me know how it goes dude. Literally, last year I was pushing heavier weights but weird injuries has caused this higher reps push. But i feel like me upping some volume and hitting higher reps has still worked well.
Where are you getting your carditone at?
I've got his excel sheet he sends out to his guys. Very thorough and impressive. Always been a fan of his.
Middle east is pretty heterogenous though. There was a REALLY detailed post from an iranian-American guy on getbig or gh15 saying that while the ARABIC countries stick to lower test, the Persian bodybuilding pharmacology system is the opposite of that. The Iranian/Persian system was apparently relying almost entirely on megadosing test, growth hormone, and orals. Like they started everyone off on 500mg test/wk and 4iu of gh and maybe some drol, then keep adding more test and gh as the years pass until they're at about 3g test per week and 16ius of gh.High test works man. Whats weird is that i know LOTS of the middle eastern guys are not test fans. Its a trash drug to them and their look shows it. 1. There aren't a TON of mass monsters from that side of the world. There are some but its more of a streamlined DRY physique and 225 is a big man. And 2. They are dry to the bone and like their AIs.
I have a buddy that grew up on that side of the world and he said they primo, mast and AI their BBer careers. Hard as nails though.
Dr. Mike Isratael mentions that in Kuwait they are big fans of DHB, but no idea if this claim is true.
So I have tried high test and moderate test and don't notice much difference. I remember I once took bloods on 1.2g/wk and my test only came back at 2800ng/dl. Do you think there's some people who will generally do worse on high test and some who do better? I get no side effects even going up to crazy high 2g, but I also get not much more positive effects than at 750 or so.
What's your daily diet looking like during this offseason? I remember Justin saying he prefers lower fats and higher carbs. What's your primary protein source?
cool log by the way man, I've been thinking about hiring Justin but it's just weird to have a western coach when I live in China and things are different here as far as food/gym equipment goes.
Big dude! Need to learn to open your lats up from the front like you do from the rear, will improve the look of your front double if you open your lats up more, sometimes moving your elbows in slightly help people accomplish this.Pics are from last Thursday's checkin. 303 in these.
