J.Thom, Uncle Z, and IML???s FIT TO FREAK Journey

[J.thom]

go hard

You have no idea. The little time I have for bodybuilding I give it my 100%. When I'm in the GYM I kill it, and when I'm not in the gym I try to keep a healthy clean diet. Sometimes, it's just difficult balancing bodybuilding and school/work/internship/social life/girls etc. But hey, nothing in life worth having comes easy so time to grind baby!

 

[J.thom]

I killed back today, I'll give an update tomorrow after my last mid-term before SB12!
I also got a call today back from the hedge fund I interviewed with last week......and I got the new internship! legooooo

Time to kill it!

LEGS

Leg extensions- 6 sets
Stiff leg deadlifts- 5 sets
ATG front squats (20 rep sets)- 4 sets
Lying reverse leg curls- 4 sets
Seated calve extensions- 4 sets

Total: 19 sets for quads/hams

Notes: I wanted to feel some pain on this leg workout so I decided to throw in some 20 rep ATG FRONT SQUATS half way through my workout. If you're man enough, give it a shot and lmk what you think. If you are not wanting to puke during/after your sets then you're not doing it right ha ha.

Time to blast some arms now!

Sounds brutal Bro!

 

[J.thom]

if you ever want to just totally kill yourself (literally) just hit 20 front atg front squats in the middle of your leg workout. Only the strong will survive

gonna try that weds ill let you know how it goes... havent been hitting legs due to bad knees but they are feeling good... does anyone wrap their knees or have any advice ive been told i have jumpers knee or osgodslaughters... one doc put me on disability and said it was a fracture but i dont think so the tendon on the front of the knee tends to sweel after squatting alot or alot of stairs or even running ive been told atg is better on the knees because u arent trying to stop the weight to come back up

I always warm up with leg extensions due to knee pain from squatting. I like ATG squats because it just feels natural too me. Sometimes it puts pain on the lower back but it's not that bad.

When you do the leg extensions don't extend your knee all the way up if you have knee pain. Other than that you should be good. Go kill it!
