Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Well you typically pretty much smoke me on legs anyway. But you definitely got me on that one. That was the workout I did last week and my low back tightened up fierce. Could hardly walk around

going to have to step up my chest and back game also just to stay competitive. back need the addition anyway, now i got some extra motivation to get even more stupid

today:

legs(secondary) supposed to have calves but left my shoes at home
10 min treadmill warmup
roller work
lying leg curls 70x12 80x12 90x12 100x12(warmups) 110x12 120x10(5) 130x8(5)(20) second work set had 5 forced negs 3d work set had 5 forced negs and a 20sec iso hold bottom quarter
leg press 90x10 180x10 270x10 360x10 450x10 540x10 630x10 720x10 810x10 900x10(30sec rest between sets) ds 900x12ds 810x14ds 720x15ds 630x20 540x25 450x30 360x35 270x40 180x45 90x50
db elevated lunges 25x10/4
sissy squats x20 x18 x17 x15

done for the day. since gusto and i have a little internal comp going on and our programing is similar i knew he did this one last week. i didnt go back and see what he had done prior, i just went in and did all i could with no holding back. so hopefully i did more than he did on this one because i can bet a pay check or more that i absolutely had zero left in the tank when i got done. if i had pushed any more blood into my legs during those leg press i am pretty sure they would have popped. i probably could have got a plate or 2 more but i wasnt 100% sure if i had anymore in the tank with the 30 secs between sets. great freaking session overall though and i may actually get a little sore on this one. wow is all i can toss out there. if you are following along here, give this one a try it is no joke.

Love this post. You kill yourself every day: then when gusto is there your lack of sleep kills you? Reality is that you have comp in the gym so basically you step-it-up. I kept you up all night and no complaints then, Hahaha. Luv ya with all my heart.

well we were extra extra worn out when you guys were in town and their was no way to push a crazy workout at that point for one. the other is we had additional guests come in as well that dont have the same sched that i do and they got in much later. it's all good though. and as for the comp in the gym, even though gusto does smoke me at times and may be a little better than the coach, i am going to bust ass to equal or do more whenever i have the chance to haha. it is a murder fest whenever we get together. funny thing is if we trained together daily either one or both of us would be crippled dead or beyond massive. at least one of the 3. hard to find a training partner for me that is equal or better than i am to train with

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Not taking anything away from you buddy you are the best but I think the chains are a waste of time. Like you said it get heavier at the top. The top were you are the strongest, bands to me seem to be a better way to go. I am no way as big or strong as you but try to work toward my weakness Bottom is were it counts IMO.

no, bands and chains are completely different in terms of stimulation and goals. we are working max load at the top with chains and deep stretch with a lighter load at the bottom where the biggest chance of injury is. now for bands you are getting additional constant tension that is going to get stronger at the top as well but it will go up evenly throughout the range of motion. just wait band work is coming soon but i do really like the addition of chains though it is a whole different arc on the strength curve esp doing these rowing motions

done for the day. pretty good day today, not really enthused about my performance and gusto smoked me pretty much across the board on chest/shoulders. it's all good though, still moved some good weight, pump was pretty silly and nothing got busted up. the high volume machine press i think smoked us pretty bad right out of the gate, or at least it did me. great sessions this weekend and i am sure that is going to translate into some pretty silly addition dense nasty size.

done for the day. killer killer day today. everything felt really good and strong no real issues other than pinching a nut on the last set of squats but it didnt hinder anything cause it was the last rep. no wraps until i hit 315 and held speed for the entire duration of the squats. that and i was getting some really good pauses in the hole. i did get a brutal ass cramp 2 sets in on the drops of the bulgarians but that is pretty normal for that movement. great day with gusto again. gusto has no quit in him even when i try to kill him haha

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I finally bought a foam roller for at home. I was using one In the gym a bit but needed to get back on it with these legs being crazy fatigued...

Sent from my SM-G870W using Tapatalk

i actually use both the foam one and the rumble roller at home and pre workout and usually post workout. i am all about doing stuff to recover, heal prehab and grow as much as i can lol. my next venture is going to be in flossing bands. i am going to pick them up and give them a go here really soon
