Not sure if i stated this earlier but its clear now that i value var much more than winstrol..yea winny has better fatloss for me but var has given me WAY more strength gains than winny, and i probably got 75% of the fatloss i got from winny too...vascularity is about the same between the two...
CD
Damn i like hearing all about this Var. I just read your your whole var journal, time for me to pick some up. I need some mass building tips from you or somthing, cause my strength is packing on, but mass just hates me
anyway sick f*n leg day bro, keep up the good work, lookin swole as hell, and again that vascularity is nuts
Thanks again Kbiz! i should have one more set of pics left after i complete the cycle...this wk i should be able to push legs harder if the hip doesnt give out, i plan on doing some 20-40 reps sets :ODamn i like hearing all about this Var. I just read your your whole var journal, time for me to pick some up . I need some mass building tips from you or somthing, cause my strength is packing on, but mass just hates me

Nice workout today bro
BB curls against the bench, prob by far one of my favorite bicep exercise's. The pump and burn from that is the greatest.
Youre right man! i wanted to try something new today and it was a good choice, the burn was insane!!!The pump and burn from that is the greatest.

This thread has gone long enough without my comments!
1.) Its about damn time those lats started flaring out on the front double, nice job!
2.) Go to the doc and get that damn hip looked at! That thing has been bothering you for like a year and a half.
I trained with this SOB for almost 4 years...and let me tell you he's never gonna win any powerlifting comps...but he will get disgustingly massive! And I have seen the pics when he was like 130...there quite funny. Even better are the pics when he was 230..lol.
Haha thanks alot man! i wasnt sure if you were still on the board or not....im hitting legs this wk hard, if it hurts then its time to go in...i got 2 wks left man, still holding strong..This thread has gone long enough without my comments!

dude, honestly, have u considered trying to turn pro?
That has been my goal since the day i started...ive had some bad luck and many setbacks but i will never ever give up...first i gota win a local show tho...dude, honestly, have u considered trying to turn pro?
CD
Hey so you do lat pulldowns instead of pullups? With lats your size I would of though you did pullups with a belt and a plate....
Yea to be honest i dont remember the last time i did pullups..these days its lat pulldowns with perfect form..Hey so you do lat pulldowns instead of pullups? With lats your size I would of though you did pullups with a belt and a plate....
CD
of course I am still around...i was just really busy for a while
In looking at those new leg pics it looks like you have added some nice new muscle, I think you need to start thinking about more ham focus so they match the quads, plus with that back...if you get the same freakiness to the hams you will be untouchable from the back. Calves dont count...we both know that..lol. Represent team dominate...we need to get a win on the board!

Calves dont count...we both know that..lol. Represent team dominate...we need to get a win on the board!i agree man, my ham training including weights have all hit personal bests this cycle and they have gone up but from the side they arent impressive at all, i think they have the separation when i diet down but theres no "hanging look" of any kind from the side
Im not quite sure really which would add more mass, stiff leg deadlifts or hamstring curls, regardless i am doing them both..hopefully itll just be a matter of time when they catch up; lately ive been hitting them with very high intensity and low rest, perhaps i need to increase my sets....
CD
I'd drop the reps on the leg curl and seated leg curl to 6-10..it seems hams respond better to lower reps compared to quads. Also you might want to start adding more lunges or walking lunges and leg press with feet super high on the platform...this was my new favortite ham exercise til the knee injury...it felt like it hit more of the meat of the ham.
I will give those a shot...hopefully tomorrow everything will go well...
for seated hamstring curl i go as heavy as possible while maintaining form--usually 160-180lbx10 reps...i could probly go 200lb and get 6-8 tho..
CD
u only do lat pulldowns huh? I dont even really like them, i find weighted wide grip pullups are insane
This whole cycle ive basically been doin lat pulldowns--i rarely ever do weighted pullups..at my weight currently its hard enough to get great form on pullups with no weight added...u only do lat pulldowns huh? I dont even really like them, i find weighted wide grip pullups are insane
CD
How dare you complain about not being able to do pullups! shame on you.Originally Posted by CaptainDominate
don't know how i've missed this thread but i must say great progress, looking jacked. keep up the good work
Thanks Juiceball!!!don't know how i've missed this thread but i must say great progress, looking jacked. keep up the good work
Haha im sure i can still do them, probably get 8-10 tho...either way pullups have never felt right to me, always makes my spine really tight after a set..and i tend to naturally rock even tho my form is good...How dare you complain about not being able to do pullups! shame on you.
