I do my deads on leg day #1 (I do 5x5 workout w/ 2 upperbodys and 2 leg days):
1) Squats.....5 sets
2) Deads......5 sets
3) 20 min on bike.......keeping at 80 rpm

I do not do any isolation type...

but who has time to eat chicken 6 times a day.........supplements make it more convenient.

by the way.......go Ohio St!!!

do jump squats and then ride bike for your cardio......doing those will enable you to skip calf raises.

I am a born-again Christian.........
have not read most of this thread, so I will not be tempted to join a debate that will end up nowhere.
but I will add one tid-bit......I am a Chemical Engineer...

part of blame for the negative perception are the folks on steroids (guys and gals)...I tend to agree w/ Defiant1. Add that to the fact that lots of the professional fitness models appear to have...

any feedback on Secretagogues? Are they worth the $$?
thanks for your input.

what i never understood how the gals can read while on the cardio.......seems to me that if you were pushing yourself, you wouldn't be able to reads.

(sorry that is post isn't gender...

17........5'10", 150 lbs....size 28 pants
40........5'11", 185 lbs....size 33 pants

read about hte 5x5 routine on the main site page here..........

remember: to get big, you have to lift big

poundages depend on goals...........
anyway, to answer you question:
5'11", 185 (morning weight), 40 yr old
I do the 5x5 workout I saw on the main site here (though I change exercises on the...

I work out because I enjoy it......it is also stress relief. Though softball provided the initial motivation to start lifting again after a 12 yr lay-off.
I do compete with myself and am looking to...

entertaining.......
thanks for sharing the pics.........

my only "rub" is with the fitness model types w/ fake boobs........that is worse that steroids IMHO (at least folks on roids still have to...

one benefit I have found when I took Nitrix was that I was not as sore after working out......

I work out right after work, and I go in work early so I can leave earlier.....therefore, I am home between 5:30 - 6pm; which is probably the same time most Dads get home.
Also, my son takes...

looks like the poundages are going up vs. your first post........keep it up!

Feb 23.......legs

jump squats
1) 95lbs 1 x 8 (warm up)
2) 125 lbs 1 x 7
3) 115 lbs 1 x 8
4) 115 lbs 1 x 8
basically did the sets to near failure/fatigue

leg press

good job on the last 2 workouts.........perhaps you should eat cheesecake more often (my weakness is chocolate cake)

Unless your physique is your profession (ie. bodybuilder, model), or if you...

good luck in achieving your goals............remember though, as you lift, you may actually gain weight (muscle mass). Bottom line would be %BF, blood pressure, wasitline etc.

Feb 21th chest & tricepts

warmed up by doing 2 sets of dips (body weight only)

flat bench (up'd the weight a little!)
1) 225 1 x 6 (to get loose)
2) 285 1 x 4 (with a slight spot)
3) 255 1...

the journal does help w/ accountability/motivation.......I often squeeze out another rep for the sake of my journal (even if it is so I can type "2 x 8" instead of "1 x 8, then 1 x 7"!!)
