PS forgot to mention I rotate hack squats with belt squats. And I also move my feet around the leg press to hit all the leg muscles. I usually do a few drop sets at the end with feet up for glutes and hammies.

Thanks dude. Well for me legs was always a quick in and out; 45 minutes. A leg press warm up and then 3 sets. Some DB lunges. A few sets of calf raises. Leg curl machine. And maybe 3-4 sets of light squats if my back allowed it. That was really it.

After I made the commitment to get back into weights again and move away from TRX I told myself if I’m going to significantly grow my upper body again then this time I’m making the commitment with my legs too. I made some posts on here for advice and watched a bunch of Mountain Dog’s (RIP) videos.

Now my leg sessions are 2 hours. I pyramid up and down on leg press. Usually 15-20 sets fatiguing the fuck out of them. Then I hit a bunch of belt squats to protect my back. A ton of RDLs. And I finish with leg extensions pyramiding up and then doing drop sets until I wanna cry. And I do Flex Lewis calves routine 3 days a week as well.

I did a routine that fried my legs this week and it didn't last long. I took 7 different exercises and did one drop set of 3 each. Then I did 3 sets for each of heavy front squats and leg presses.

That’s a nice switch up. Will probably try something like that when I hit a plateau with my current routine.

Yea, I like to switch up things. Keeps me moving in right direction.

Listening to music, chilling on PM.
Ate like a hog Thanksgiving weekend, but I've already lost a large majority of that weight gain. Staying in decent shape, Masters worlds championship July 24th Pittsburgh PA.

I guess every bodybuilder has to do these in the fitting room.
Not so long until Christmas - buying clothes that fit.
Happiest time of the year.

Lol fitting rooms are the best! Hard to look bad in those mirrors and lighting. You definitely didn't NEED them.

How about your strength in all of your lifts? Up significantly?

I think he’d stay pretty damn lean while gaining within no cardio and a couple ten minute walks daily and let the workouts keep the fat off. Clearly he’s got a great metabolism

Great back shot, especially lower. Deep. You attribute that to what?

Agreed and I'd like to know as well, but I am assuming heavy deads and rows!

This not a discussion thread, just to post pictures and make comments based on that. Please do not clog up this thread. Make a new thread or use existing one.

Started doing DC training earlier this year after a comp I did and noticed my back is lacking thickness. Did the basics heavy rows and from the ground up deads. Basics always work

258 lbs this morning.

After competing in September, I got up to about 254lbs by November. Was thinking about competing on December 4th so started dieting at the beginnig of November. By November 20th (about 2 weeks out) I was around 240lbs, and decided I wasn't going to compete, so started eating again (trying to rebound).

Weight is climbing, and condition is not too bad. Not focused right now on competing, just getting stronger at the gym and growing. Having fun so far.

280.4lbs - my first time breaking 280, an all-time high bodyweight.

When I posted my thread on eating 7,300 clean calories a day, some members said it wasn't something that could be done long-term. 3 months later I'm still eating that way, up 14lbs., and it's pushed me to my biggest ever. Most of the limits on us are ones we mentally impose on ourselves. We're all capable of more than we realize.
