Nah Chris, no wraps. Should I be using them? I'm severely ignorant on the topic..

Thanks for the kudos, CP. Today I have a chest day and hopefully I'll have blasted that plateau too...I just got back into deadlifts after being limited by my lower back, and that's progressing relatively well.

No, I was just curious. That is a very impressive squat irrespective of the whole Smith machine issue.

I started using wraps about 2 months ago. They helped significantly with heavy shrugs and DB Lunges. I do think negelcting them a lot helped my forearm size

Duncans Donuts

Squat: 490 x 10 (almost 11) superset leg extensions
Leg extension: 205 x 22
Calf-raises: 420 x 15
Situps: 45 x 35 (timed)

Great workout today...I was tired of high rep squats so I jumped to 5 plates and rammed out 10 solid reps and should have had an eleventh.

You remind me of an animal of some kind. Look at those lifts.

Thx brother.

Ironically, before I worked out a girl - friend of mine commented that I had skinny legs. She meant my calves, but it pissed me off, because of my terrible calf genetics.

omfg@ 490 x 10. Jesus dude!

Total ownage.

Duncans Donuts

Thanks friend. My butt cramped on the first rep because I'm not accustomed to the weight, but after that cleared up the weight felt light. I quit probably a rep or two before failure because I was nervous about having the plates loaded back there - but I was really satisfied with how easy it felt.

Really...I've seen pics of your legs before, they look pretty darn big to me Weighin about 230 though I guess 17 inchers look kind of small...I train them with a great flair but I recognize my genetic limitations in the area of the gastrocnemius..

Thats my problem to, specifically the medial head. My quads are nice, but calves are shit(about 15 1/2") and quads around the 25-26" mark. Im around 205ish right now I think. Havent been to the gym in a few weeks.

Damn DD. 490 x 10 on a 1RM calculator comes out to 650. You should consider entering a PL competition.

Thanks for the compliments CP. I may go into powerlifting a long time from now, but I think now it would be detrimental to football...that and I don't really like working out.

Thanks fellas, I respect the knowledge and training of all ya'll and the praise means a lot. Anytime you have a way for me to improve my workouts be sure and let me know, I've been trying to use a 45 pound plate in my situps and add more reps in a shorter period of time. That a good idea?

25-26 inch quads at 205 are pretty awesome in my opinion. Sounds like you got genetically shitty calves just like me; at 230 pounds mine look more like sticks.

I also had a forearm workout that I will log in here:

Forearm curls: 135 x 10
Rev. Forearm curls: 105 x 11

I hold each of the reps for 2-3 seconds. Surprisingly, after I pretty much crapped on the idea of doing direct forearm work, this workout done once a week I've improved my weight about 30-35 pounds and improved my deadlift / upright row grip endurance (or at least that is my perception).

I get the skinny leg comments as well. I have good quads and shit calves. C'est la vie!

Duncans Donuts

I've seen pics of you Chris...you're ridiculously massive. People don't understand the genetics of the calf

My diet is doing well....I started small doses of UA recently and my caloric deficit is doing great. My muscle is maintaining relatively well, largely in my opinion because of the insulin and nutrition I take post workout.

Today a pair of my shorts were slipping down my waist moreso than ever before. A measurement around my navel indicated that I was inside of 34 inches (35 1/2 about a month ago). My stomach is looking fat and my upper abdominals, while not crisp or sharp, are visible (though soft looking). I've never ever had arm-vascularity and after I hop out of the shower the network of veins in my forearms are obvious and I have one that's visible in my right bicep and left tricep. These are good signs for my conditioning, as far as I'm concerned.

That's why I say the mirror is the only tool you need to determine the effectiveness of cutting. Those visible results are great. Keep it up man.

Very nice description coming out of the shower

Sounds like you're doing good. I would hate to see you give up or cut back on your training when football is over

Duncans Donuts

Once I hit 8 percent I hope to maintain that. I don't think it will be hard considering how much hard work is involved in skill training. Being lean will make it easier for me to be fast and quick so long as I train appropriately. I really want to be 230 pounds at that percentage, though.

"in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

Duncans Donuts

Another positive gain in the workout:

Military press: 232.5 x 9 (pause) x 3 (pause) x 1
Conc. Curl: 67.5 x 9
Dips: BW + 61.25 x 9 , x 4 Negative (8 second)
Upright rows: 192.5 x 10

Feeling good. Diet still very strict and going well in the right direction.

Damn. You are strong! I would hate to play ball with you Especially in a pile up
Do you do any ab work?

Duncans Donuts

Thanks, mucho. I want to be stronger. I do Ab work, i used to do slow weighted situps with 160 pounds but now I do timed fast situps with 50 or so pounds for high reps (35-40).
