    Oh, and Marcus has 5 way split posted on page 41 that is nice. Just about any of the lifts posted by everyone are good reading material.
    Really really informative!!! So thankful!!!!

    **Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

    Okay here goes! Critique away! I can handle it. Can I just say I love my belt!!!!

    Hamstrings/glutes

    Total weight listed so Cape doesn't have to do math!! Wouldn't want to strain your brain

    Leg press
    Warm up - 270
    Set 1 - 380lb 10 reps
    Set 2 - 450lbs 5 reps clean
    Drop - 360lb 9 reps

    Knee sleeve on and still didn't push too much, knee is a weak spot due to dirt bike accident years ago.

    Weighted steps up
    50lbs - 12 each leg
    50lbs - 10 each leg
    70lbs - 6 each leg

    Dead lift - now here is where I played, tested my body! I know way too many reps.
    Warm - 70lbs
    Set 1 - 85lb 10 reps
    Set 2 - 95lb 10 reps
    Set 3 - 115lb 8 reps (count this as first set)
    Set 4 - 125lb 5 reps
    Drop - 95lb 9 reps

    Reverse Hack - sore by now but adrenaline kicking in, I swear I get high from lifting.
    Set 1 - 110lb 9 rep
    Set 2 - 140lb 5 rep
    Drop - 120lb 8 rep

    Leg curls -
    set 1 - 100lb 9 reps
    Set 2 - 120lbs 5 reps
    Drop - 110lb 7 reps (struggled here)

    Lying leg curl
    Set 1 - 50lbs 10 reps
    Set 2 - 65lbs 5 reps
    I was done at this point on hamstrings

    Hip raises
    3 sets 70lb BB 15 reps each!!! Booty time.

    Major abs today again!

    I felt like I did well, could I have done more probably. What are all your thoughts?

    Advice please!

    You killed it. If you know the reps were too high on deads you know what you have to do. Increase the weight. Lol

    I wouldn't drop 90 lbs on the leg press for your drop set.

    I think you did great. And legs that's a big hard group. You have figured it out quickly. Each day it will get better and better. Your mind will be stronger for it as well.

    Awe, did I get a win finally?

    You are absolutely correct on deads, I was testing my new belt. For sure next time, I will start at 115-125 I am sure and go higher for set 2. I just had done like 40 reps by that time lol!

    Hear you on the leg press, will take your advice and go down 45 next. Just going to honor my knee. I know I can go more than 450, but that pesky knee tells me no sometimes. I sweet talk it first, but today he fought back

    Funny note: my BF said "babe it's not the girl that should be the meathead it's the guy". Ha ha ha! That made me laugh

    Yeah you got a win. You got it in two days.Impressive.
    Pay attention to the knee. Do you wear anything on it for support?

    Your bf's funny. You may have him worried you're going to lift him

    I wear a knee sleeve for sure! I have too, anytime I do heavy on it. Sometimes In boot camp I have to as well. Just depends if I have to jump like a kangaroo!

    He is pretty funny.

    What's up everyone.

    Just got done with a quick weekend getaway.

    Wife bought me concert tickets for vday. Then surprised me the day before we did a sound check and meet and greet before the concert.

    Was an awesome weekend. And a quick test of Orlando with the boy. We go to Disney in two weeks lol.

    Orlando is the happiest "worst " place on earth lol. But was good times.

    Took 3 days off the gym. Gonna switch my routine up this week so hopefully see some new gains coming.

    Here's a pic of the boy. We spent the whole day Saturday at the pool

    Didn't do Disney but we hit the down town area with all the restaurants. Forget what it's called. Freaking Friday night at almost 10. Every place had a 2 hour wait :/

    Then the concert was at hard rock live in the front of universal. So also crazy.

    I'm looking forward to him having a great first Disney trip. But I am gonna hate it at the same time lmao

    Gonna switch to shoulders . Usually back.

    Old schedule

    Mon-back
    We'd- chest
    Fri- shoulders
    Sun- arms

    Been doing this for 2-3 months now.

    Gonna try this now

    Mon- shoulders
    Wed- back
    Fri- chest
    Sun- arms

    Not big change, but any change helps.

    And I know obviously no legs. But it's just not possible right now. Legs used to be my favorite body part to work. I did have some wheels on me before

    Finally feeling like myself again. As opposed to feeling like someone else. Appetite's back so workouts will commence again tomorrow. Was not a good week, glad it's over.

    If I could feel like someone else I think it would be GGR. Be interesting I think.
