Your legs are growing, but u have lost your mind.

I had a short workout on legs tonight.......short but intense.

**bornbad71** · 11-20-2003, 07:59 PM

And this was my workout............did a tri-set........squats x 5 reps, leg press x 10 reps, leg ext. x 20 reps.......did this for 4 sets then did hams the same way.......lying leg curls x 5 reps, sld's x 10 reps, seated leg curls x 20 reps.....bro my legs are hurting right now.

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 07:59 PM

god i love squats.......im squatting tommorow 650x3.....i have a meet December 6th

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 08:01 PM

damn Power... thats good .. I hit 725 for 1 rep.. having that much weight on the bar scared me...

and the spotters... I was 202 lbs when I hit 725.

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 08:02 PM

damn bro thats an awesome squat........do you go below parallel or parallel?

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 08:04 PM

I just got parallel called.. was just for fun.. normally Ill do 2x4 squats...

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 08:07 PM

thats still awesome.........u should powerlift bro :-)

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 08:09 PM

I got 455 on bench.. but my deads are what kill me.... only 450 max.. I have started doing them.. but I think my form is what kills me.. but no powerliftin for me... hehe Im doing BB'in..

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 08:11 PM

and plus its against the rules from going to powerliftin from BB'in

hehe its Powerlifter that go BB'ers..

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 08:14 PM

yes that is what im thinking about doin myself switching.......i hit 505x2 on the bench today and 655x1 on deadlift on tuesday.......i think i have built a good enough base for BB......

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 08:16 PM

the trick on deadlift is you have to squat down as much as you can almost below parallel before you start the lift.........just think leg press when pushing up........also keep your eyes up when moving the weight up

**bermich** · 11-20-2003, 08:18 PM

I ate a sandwich today. Chicken sandwich with cheese mayo, garlic salt, pepper and some lettuce. Thats what I did today. Didnt do the leg thing. Sorry

Maybe later though. Still an early night but a lot of good shows are on. CSI, Survivor, and something else.

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 08:19 PM

hehe 2 days ago I did deads and got 2 reps with 425.. damn bar slipped cause we dont have any chalk in the gym... LONG STORY!!! hehe but I got that stomach stretching/pukin feeling.. you prob know what I mean.

Yes, that's good advice. Drive your heels through the floor, stay super-tight, and grab the bar HARD.

**LostUp** · 11-20-2003, 08:42 PM

You know BigOl, for any leg advice I think I'd go straight to you, thats nuts! Your legs, your squat weight your workout, it's all nuts! I think next leg day I'm going all the way up to 20 reps for my sets!

you dont need that kind of shock to your body yet bro......BigOle has been training for a while obviously and prolly needs that type of "shock" to get his legs to respond

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 11:12 PM

hey power ive only been lifting for 3 1/2 yrs....

but your right about the shocker.. its kinda like.. ya I can just do 4-6 sets of squats and extensions and get that burn.. but it doesnt satisfy my appetite... you know what I mean???

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 11:16 PM

damn thats insane 3 1/2 years

you just gotta do what works for you...........everyone responds differently

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 11:19 PM

ya Ive had people tell me that.. but I started lifting at 135 lbs.. and now im 210.. I was 252 bulking..and 195 on stage.. I guess I just put some knowledge to use.... and im always open to suggestions... like the ones for deadlifts...

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 11:27 PM

np

usually the thing that gets people with deadlift is a weak back(im not saying that is your case) to combat this i would suggest doing romanian deadlifts,and stiff legged deadlift(all the way to the floor)

here is a link to romain deadlift picture: http://athletics.colgate.edu/powerpe...hnique/RDL.htm

here is a link to stiff legged deadlift http://www.wannabebig.com/article.php?articleid=117

its the best i can give ya on how to do it correctly........i promise if you do thease your deadlift will go up.........just dont do both of thease on your back day......pick one and do it for like 4 weeks the start the other one and rotate them

**bigol'legs** · 11-20-2003, 11:30 PM

thanks man... hey i dont know if its the same.. but on back extensions I can do the whole rack on the machine... 310 lbs for 20 reps...

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 11:32 PM

damn thats impressive..........its almost the same but you will get more out of doing it with a straight bar i think

**PurePower** · 11-20-2003, 11:35 PM
