    be careful with that weight. your body is not use to that much. that would be insane though.

    too many reps!drop don t multiple sets of 5 with heavier weights abd belt up. guarantee it would increase your one rep max. if you squating for BB then keep hitting hypertrophy like numbers.

    3 weeks later...still gaining strength.

    I think in 3 more weeks im going for 3 sets of 12 @ 405

    got up 405 for 8 then 12 last week, after leg curls, stiff lehgged deds, and good mornings.

    Going to bring a video camera into gym to check my form from the side, make sure i'm not cheating, and i'll post it up once i get it done.

    nope im natty.


    i was just out of the gym for 2 months before august......lower body anyway...for natz in August.

    Thats why im making huge gains right now............it''ll taper off.

    But any time you take 8 weeks off from the rack to improve endurance and jump speed, and leg speed you're going to lose strength.
