    That's Tom Platz. For the average lifter, leg extensions probably are a waste of time. Better to stick to squats and leg presses than to do isolation work.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    I agree...I do very few iso's...knee extensions may build a little endurance for an average lifter, but size and strength, not too much. I just pointed out Platz because some will point out that BB's do some of the exercises, and to not tell someone to NOT do them at all costs. But compounds rule for us blue collar guys.

    Knee extensions.... they don't make the stack big enough. I could use one leg but it's a lot of stress on the knee and it's nice to use two legs so if a knee gives out your other leg can protect the impacted knee. I still use them moments after squats with two legs. I keep splitting pants though!! Relaxed fit pants are better but not good enough just like knee extensions. Bigger machine stacks and bigger pants are needed.

    NO, first you need to see if anyone is looking and you then position the boys very high. You really need to drag them up with a good scoop of the hand under all your clothes. You need tight shorts to keep them there, BTW.

    try holding the your leg(s) in the flexed position for 3-5 seconds for each rep. Thats what I do, and leg extensions are prolly my second most effective lift for my legs.

    Just thought I would add my two cents.
    I get DOMS the day after for every body part I train ... except biceps.
    I have not had sore biceps for years, but they still continue to grow.
    Just a genetic thing maybe.

    Try this program I created a few years ago. It should add about .5" to your arms in 30 days even if you are an experienced trainer (no, NOT Ronnie Coleman ).

    Here is a link to the article: Weight Training and Body Building - Add

    Here is a recent PM conversation I had with someone about it:

    thanks,

    Here you go: http://www.wannabebig.com/article.php?articleid=66

    The title got messed up somehow. I assume it was when we switched servers.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Chris


    hi sorry to bother you again chris but just have a few questions about the routine. So you repeat the same routine (biceps, triceps, pullovers, squats, calf raises) every 4 days? and when you said "For those of you able to train every fourth day, you will have completed the routine within one calendar month" this confused me as i thought there wasn't a different routine every time you workout?

    thanks


    No, the same routine each time. What I was talking about is the fact that some people may need more than the 3 days of rest between workouts. If you can train every 4th day you will finish the routine in a month. If you have to wait longer between sessions to fully recover it will take you a bit longer. Does that make sense?

    Chris


    Hi chris just thought i'd say that the routine is definitely working! i've done 4 of the 8 workouts and my stubborn arms (only grew 1/2 inch in the 3 months between january and march) are definitely growing! they've grown about .35" each so far and i'm just overhalf way through. Couldn't believe I've found something that actually works for my arms! i'll let you know final results when the month is up.

    Thanks,

    Herandi

    The reason I bring this up, is because for whatever reason there is, my arms refuse to get sore after an intense workout, no matter how heavy the weight is or what exercises I do. It seems to be my trouble area and the hardest to grow out of all my muscle groups.

    Is there anything as to why this might be? I doubt it's genetics as I grow quite fine everywhere else, I must be doing something wrong somewhere.
    MAYBE YOU REST TOO MUCH BETWEEN EACH SET. OR MAYBE YOU DON'T GET SORE BECAUSE OF THE "JUICE" THAT YOUR PROBABLY ON
