Today I done my syntherol arm injections earlier on and I am going to stick to that. It's a nice feeling having them done then training and I can just relax later on. Things are going well and they look fuller and fuller. I have some bruising from pressing in too hard but it's not an issue for me. If it were I would just use longer needles and not push them in all the way. It's the plastic underneath the bottom of the needle that causes the bruising. If people want to wear vests etc and don't want brusing just use longer needles and you will never have an issue.
I just trained legs and it was brutal. That is the first time I have gone mental training legs in a while. Every leg session will be like that for the foreseeable future. My back is still not right but I just went for it. It's not like I am squatting etc so I am safe. Well I did do a few sets of squats for 20 reps with a 5kg plate a side Literally just to feel the movement and in between intense sets of other exercises. I trained everything so calves, hamstrings, glutes, hips and quads. I won't post all the details but a few things that stood out include...
Calves... supersetted seated calf raises using the lying leg curl machine with a Reebok stepper and calf presses using the leg press machine. I push down on the leg curl pad for extra resistance. Lot's of stretching between sets too.
Hams... brutal for lying and seated leg curls. I done the same for each machine. Basically for the 2nd to last set I would do 1 standard set to complete failure with a few partials. That set was just to get ready for the final one. For each exercise I ended with a big drop set. Literally 4-5 drops and partials at the end of each drop (so well over 50 full reps and just as many partials). Then after the last drop I would put the weight back up and do a static hold.
Quads... Horizontal leg press machine and very high reps going up in weight to the full weight rack. Then again a big drop set to finish with about 6 drops. When I could walk properly I done those 5kg plate squats I just wanted to feel the movement. Up and down Tom Platz style. Then leg extensions but instead of very slow reps more basic but with holds. I ended with doing the full weight rack for mini sets (no rest between) of 5 reps. Basically wide, moderate and close stance for 5 reps each repeated twice so 30 reps total.
