Hey whats up with all that!!!!!!!

SLDL??????

Upping the weight! Come on, you only have one more at this phase now! Nest pahse should be better!

BTW, how did you get so many reps with 225 at the end???

 

[Fade]

After doing the 315 and 405 the 225 felt light.

The last set of 225 was done 1sec up and down.

 

[Twin Peak]

As long as you went deep!

 

[Fade]

When I use the 402 timing my lower back wants to give out way before my legs. Lactic acid burn from hell.

I was wondering the same thing!!!

 

[Twin Peak]

When you get an answer, let me know!

 

[Fade]

One more week?? COOOOL!!

 

[Twin Peak]

until phase II.....

 

[Fade]

Oh....phase two huh?

 

[Pitboss]

Well boys I am impressed!!! I almost pass out just doing 4 sets of 8-12 reps on squat. 100 reps.... I do that and you'll be invited to my funeral!!!!

Good mornings?? Is that where you hold the weight in front of you and bend at the hips until your back is parallel to the floor and then back up??

 

[butterfly]

GMs... you hold the weight same place you do for squats, and then bend at the hips until your back is parallel to the floor and then back up.

Gee sounds more like a lower back workout than hamstrings???

 

[craig777]

Hi butterfly,

The Good mornings are for your hams, and I believe the movement should be like stiff leg deads where you stick your butt out as much as possible. If you don't feel it in your hams then you need to stick you butt out more. Watching butterfly do this would be quite enjoyable, sorry had to put that in.

 

[butterfly]

Thanks Craig

...and your right about needing to stick your butt out while keeping your knees locked... hence the stiff leg part...
