    I have never done the barbell. Do you do it standing up or sitting down? I'll have to try that next shoulder day.

    175 is strong italian, I'll let you know what I do and see if I feel it working differently at all.

    yep..dont arch backwards at all. I did that once..big mistake. Back hurt for weeks. Try to sit as straight up as you can..leaning head back slightly to leave room for the bar..(at least how I perform it)

    most of your lifts center around 8 reps....do you ever go higher weight and maybe 3-5 reps......this could be any lift

    Ya, I usually do lower reps on deadlift and heavy weight.

    I suppose I could go up in weight and do less reps in other sets i.e. chest, arms, shoulders etc.
    Doesn't hurt to try something new

    strange..i knoiw some people where the difference is drastic. Knew one kid that could hit 295 for reps of 6 on flat barbell and could barely get 185 on incline...sad really. I really believe incline is more important than flat for chest size and shape.

    Nark doesnt like lunges. I used to do them and he questioned me on why..I really didnt have an answer. I guess I see why. They seem sorta like a supplementary exercise and not really a primary mass builder. I wouldnt place them with leg extentions,..maybe just above.

    ya, trying to keep the incline presses heavy, need to keep building my chest up

    Looks like I'll drop the lunges and do leg ext. like you suggested. Thanks chest

    oops. Wasn't what I was suggesting. I guess I was unclear.

    I meant I wouldn't put lunges in the same category as an isolated movement for the quads like leg extentions..but maybe just above them in level of importance for overall leg size.

    I myself really like squats as a staple in my leg program. Leg press would probably come after..if you look at my journal. I used to substitute lunges with leg press. If you want to do lunges..this is where I would do them. But-I always like the idea of squats as the primary movement regardless. I really think I may start to change it up because my leg training has been extremely redundant and my progress has stagnated..esp this bulking run, as I explained about 2 weeks ago in my log...so I guess who I am to listen to for leg routine advice eh?

    Blah..Im rambling again..anyway

    I'll leg Nark chime in here if he sees this..He knows more than I do

    No dude, I appreciate your input/advice. I see what your saying about lunges, sorry I was confused for a minute there. I can do 315lbs squats currently, hoping to go up this week My leg press is about 1,300lbs (most I've ever done).

    Yeah, your leg press is very very impressive. I'd try to get your squat on par with your leg press..in terms of #s. I'd just try focusing on hitting squats first and keeping the cals coming in.

    Sounds good. I'll be sure to start with squats and go heavy and deep this week. My cals are a little under maintenance right now (carb cycling) so I'm dropping fat slowly and trying to hit cardio 2x's/day.

    oh I don't care at all about whorein in here...I'll quit in yours

    well, I started bulking but my bf% was too high so I-B-D helped me with a diet; carb-cycling specifically. My abs are faided but they are coming in slowly. My goal is to get BF% as low as possible and making lifts stronger by the week

    Man, all my exercises i keep strict as F*** form and always use slow tempo. I found this type of workouts most intense and efficient. Only time I have to cheat a bit is well, when I do my chest or biceps on the very last rep when Im trying to go for the failure, because I will get to the failure and than I HAVE to cheat to get the weight up. Pretty dangerous when doing BB bench.
    Miss having a good workout partner.
