TweetLegs today. Trying to follow guns advice and up the volume and reps. Still working to get there... high reps even at modest weights still make me want to cry. #bigfucking***** . Keeping that heavy squat routine in there because I think the combo of heavy and light will work in the long run... plus I just love heavy lifting and I want to get my squat up near 500 where it probably should be. If anyone has any words of wisdom for calves I'll take it... as bad as my quads are, my calves are worse... little skinny runner calves.

Yeah I couldn't help myself today brother. 365 felt surprisingly like whereas just last week It felt pretty damn heavy. So I went for it. Typically 3 or 4 reps is as low as I go.

TweetMONSTER leg day bro

TweetCheat meal Friday night; stuck to diet the rest of the weekend. Sat and Sun= off days. My second set of Incline barbells at 285 today almost ruined my day and definitely hindered the rest of my workout a bit. Hit my 6th rep and it felt easy so I went for a 7th.... fail. Longer story short it took about 25 seconds for someone to get over and help me and I definitely felt my vision narrowing toward the end there and was a bit smoked after that. I'm not to prideful to ask for a spot but I get pissed off at filthy rep stealers and people who suck at spotting. Anyway still a good workout.

TweetSeriously....the new avi....Gusto you look incredible! Keep it up!

TweetFirst time dead lifting today in months. I wasn't injured or anything I just stagnated real bad and got bored with em. Went light and concentrated on form.

I use 25 lb plates for my T Bar rows. I don't get it when I see people load that thing up with 45s and take away half their range of motion.

Tweethey gusto, i do the same thing with the 25s but the cool trick you can do is put on 3-4 25s and then start loading on the 45s at that point. that way you dont have all that extra weight hanging off the end of the bar and it doesnt limit your range of motion at all
