1st place winner in my division is located at bottom on page 7 (had nice legs but my upper body was bigger)
2nd place located on bottom of page 9 in red trucks (medium size upper body, legs not much larger than mine)
3rd place top of page 8 (I feel I had this guy beat by a landslide as he was smooth as a babys bottom)
4th place I am at bottom of page 8 and top of page 9 (I had largest upper body, quads are cut but need more overall lower body development )

note: Go to thumbnails and on bottom of page 7 #11 took 1st, #14 on page 8 took 2nd and 3rd place (smoothy) is number #12 on page 8. I was #13 on page 8



My legs are improving but nerve damage from having had 10 back operations is really really hurting me about getting my legs to respond. I have lost reflexes in both of my ankles and both of knees, so I am struggling with lower body but not giving up hope. I had big ripped-quads before my accident so maybe just maybe they wil come back!

Wifes pics start at page 38 and go on and on as there are many. Her thighs are as big as the overall male winner if you keep scrolling you wil find them..lol

I got a question for you Ron, So how does one improve lagging body parts especially legs! because you suggest straight sets and not going over 12 sets once a week for major body parts. if we train every body part in a similar fashion then how are we going to bring up the lagging parts? dont you think little extra volume or supersets or any uch things should be introduced when trying to improve lagging parts? btw i am not refering to lagging body parts due to injury or any such setbacks.

]. NOW THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS WE NEED MORE OF...NO MORE PCT PLEASE!!!!) Accupunture can help nerve damage sometimes (i'll try it some this winter to see if it can improve the signal to make my legs grow again. Now my legs have improved but not what they should have. I'll show everyone pics when they get here by mail. My legs do not fire as hard or as long as they use to before by back fusions. I have lost some reflexes in my ankles and knees but they have improved immensley. I used to get foot drop real bad but thnak the good Lord that left! My physique has changed so much that the nurses and my main doctor broke down and cried when they saw me last. They couldn't not believe it!!!) I am the only person in the world to be able to work and "walk" on a bodybuilding stage after 10 major lower back operations. I have turned a disability into an ability with the help of God and hard work. I have been blessed beyond measure.

I plan to do 6 sets twice a week for my thighs as opposed to 12 sets once a week because my quads stop losing their ability to fire with full force much faster than my uninjured muscle groups. I will do one heavy session (6-8 reps) and one light sesssion (12-15 reps). I'll do 4 sets twice a week for hams and calves. If a muscle cannot be trained to failure then extra sets past 12 could help but super sets are a waste of time IMO. This is one area that DOGGCRAPP (DANTE TRUDEL) and I agree on. He believes that less sets but more frequent training sessions brings forth more growth phases. I agree with him on this point regarding my legs and also in using this method to break training plateaus but 99% of all bodybuilders train each muscle group only once a week as a baseline for a reason-it's the most productive way to train as it provides better recovery, pumps, etc. However,everyone should train each muscle twice a week from time to time for 10 week phases to shock the muscles.

Thanks for the reply Ron, You are an INSPIRATION! I develop this lower back pain while doing squats and such exercises and at times hate those exercises so much, but after knowing about your injuries and your urge to go on no matter what i believe i am in a much much better position and can do a lot more. Now its time for another question

1st Cycle for 8 wks(around six months ago) - 500mg Sust and 200 mg Deca per week

2nd Cycle - Currently in week 7 and following slingshot training - 500mg Test Enanthate and 300 mg Deca per week. After the current 8 week reload i will be doing 2 weeks of deload and again 8 weeks of reload, now my question is should i increase my dosage of Test E to 750 mg per week keeping Deca at 300mg? is it fine to use Deca & Test E again or do you think i should change something?

i would increase test to 750 mgs per week during second reload and up deca to 400 mgs per week.
