what's with the 3 rep set of squats there gusto? i am hoping that was your eyes were bigger than your muscles lol. may want to consider doing hams first in the lineup when they are fresh. no one on this planet has hams that overpower quads but just like tris, your hams can make your legs look twice as big and give you that illusion that you are way bigger than what you really are
Oh by the way... Squatting the 385 didn't get me laid by the hot chics. Who'd a thought did you say before I could go down to sets of three reps and get the best of both worlds? You seem to be slowly upping my numbers LOL
Actually on that one brother my ego was bigger than my muscles were LOL there was two hot chics working next to me so I loaded on some more weight I probably could've squeezed out four or five reps but my lower back started feeling fatigued so I didn't push it. As far as the hamstrings go, I did that last week. What I've been doing is what I think you and some other guys do on here where I alternate heavy squat and dead lift weeks. On my deadlifts weeks I do that workout that you had told me about with the leg extensions and leg curls upfront. On squat weeks after I'm nice and warmed up I still try to keep those first. Thoughts?
nope that's a good plan man. i forgot lol. that will work perfectly fine and keep them from adapting as well. i just moved to a 4 day split for myself and working the whole leg on a single day just to break it up and give me a tad more rest for a little bit. not rocket science just have to keep switching it up from time to time and keep the muscle guessing and growing

While I still hate the idea of leg day at 4:30 in the morning, and I dread it on the way to the gym, I am actually enjoying my leg workouts now once I'm into them. So that's progress LOL

MC4's are the older ones and I think the marines have gone to the MMPS but I think they both have the same weight limit.
that was many many moons ago. the funny thing is you guys were probably using the 5s around the same time that our supply system got us the the 4s in lol. that's the mc for you. doing the most with the least possible
may want to take a look at doing some reverse band work gusto. it takes the pressure off the point where it aggervates the elbows on all pressing movements but still allows you to overload the hell out of the muscle. i did it for chest on tuesday and man i am sore as hell from it. it is def a new technique for the tool box
I'm watching some vids on it right now. Where do you buy bands? Yes that would def be a new thing for me.
Pretty damn happy about today. Worked tris first for the first time in a long time. After a fukk load of warm ups was able to do some relatively heavy close grip flat presses. No shoulder pain and very little burning in the elbows. Still quite a bit of irritation on skull crushers but I didn't push it too hard. Best tri pump in a long time.

dont get hurt on that jump and hopefully they are using the triple cargo chutes for your big ass man haha. that's what they always said they needed for me
Weight limit on the free fall chutes we use is 240.... So if I gain 20 more pounds I might have to retire lol

Felt great today but did have to lower the volume a bit due to work scheduling.... Get to jump out of a uh-60 today at 13000 ft great heavy workout though. Next week you will see my volume drop way low on purpose to a Dorian Yates style low volume heavy routine. I've done this in the past coming off cycle and it helps me maintain mass and strength.
