Got a good night sleep last night--10 hrs. I am ready to lift heavy

I personally would not eliminate arm work. But I feel mine are lacking. Some have shown gains off of it, so good luck.
10Hrs? Holy shit... Do you have a job?

yeah i hope it works. work? nope. I'll look for a job in june though.

Yea, you need a job you bum!

I'm just prepping for my future IFBB status.

Wise.

If you train hard enough that simply isn't enough rest time in between workouts especially for quads. Recovery is important forresults.

I think the lack of arm work is actually good now and again Most people's arms don't grow b/c of overtraining.

What kind of exercises are you doing because like I said....if you're training hard and heavy I just don't see how you can do yourself justice training bodyparts that close together AND the types of bodyparts within a workout. For example I could never hit chest and back hard together...one of them is bound to suffer.

I thought I was giving myself more recovery by hitting legs 2x a week instead of three. If I dont get the shock I'm looking for, or have too much CNS trouble i'l switch out. I still want to give it a shot...(very eager to test this.)

have you ever tried a hypertrophy workout? its setup similarly, with the low volume. I mean we're talking one to three sets per body part, depending on the split, theres no way that is OT, IMHO... Still I respect your experience, and will definitly keep your tips in mind.


I am just so tired of standard supercompensation cycles.

FF do you have a training journal I can look at?

Update?

Today is refeed day... at last.

Leg workout was very good, felt fairly strong. But, as usual, I went over my time limit--from now on I'm doing calves on arms day. It took like 1:45... way way to long. I'd like to keep it under an hour.

That's about it for today, I hear some fat free ice cream calling me.

What does your leg routine consist off? Exercise wise.

Maybe you are talking too much

I've been doing linear periodization,(with a supercomensation routine)

week1: 12RR
week2: 8RR
week3: 6RR
week4 4RR

pretty boring really.

Exercise wise...

9 sets for quads, 6 for hams.
------------------------------------

Quads

front squats x3
DB lunge x3
Back squat x3

Hams

SLDL x3
Leg curls x3

-have been using reverse pyramids, and am currently on my week of 6 rep range.

-Can't wait to shred down all the way, so I can put on more lean mass!

And bump on the talking.

Some old guy went on for FIFTEEN minutes about how he had a circulation problem in his calve..... UGHH...

I just about died.

Well people I am back! It's been like a couple of months since I've posted but for good reason... during june I had a cast on, and I finished up my cut cycle in july, right now I am on my SD, just starting my first HST cycle, I am definitly excited.

If any of you have tried it and have the results written down I'd like to hear about it, I am a bit worried it wont work and I will and up gaining a bunch of fat.

Welcome back puss!

Update: Gained 9 lean lbs from HST

Damn, I thought that you would have forgot about this. Why not post some workouts or something
