[MIKE6191]

2 more workouts left in Sheiko #37. Then doing maxs again. Hopefully will put up 465/225/405 (d/b/s). Damn bench is taking forever to get heavy

[dirtyjerz]

could pull the 315 clean today but couldn't rack it . stuck at 305.

but due to my weight cut, i was able to erase the standing record of 300 for my body weight.

max bench tomorrow.

Hit a new PR on squats yesterday.

315 x 3
345 x 1
375 x 1
385 x 1

I videotaped the 345, 375 and 385 for form purposes, I'll probably load them up today/tomorrow. I was right at parallel for 375, and I may have missed it on 385. I'll let you guys decide.

good stuff man

[CuriousGM]

Quick question, was at the gym yesterday with a buddy and noticed a bizarre discrepancy. We went to leg press and I'm kinda of puzzled how he blows me outta the water on this when I blow him outta the water on SQ/DL. 405/510 285/395 (Me/Him respectively) But leg press? 604/874 x8

either his ROM sucks(which probably isnt it or you wouldnt need to ask this)

or his quads are stronger than yours(most likely) the reason your squat and dead is better is because you have a stronger core and posterior chain(no homo)

his is probably a weakness which is why compared to you his squat sucks.

[AcquireStrength]

Squatted today and my didn't explode, successful rehab is becoming successful.

It's not indication of a weakness, the guy probably does leg press a shtload compared to OP.

[IrishMarc]

Id say this I have seen umpteen guys with skinny legs repping **** loads of weight on the leg press yet to see a guy with skinny legs squat heavy to depth.

pics or negs brah......

Also, cannot wait to see the vids also

wondering whether i should go to the gym and hit some cardio?

[400Lb Gorilla]

i was not meaning weakness as in he had shietty weak quads lol just that his friend had stronger ones. CuriousGM is probably not a stranger to the leg press himself.

@CuriousGM, i did think of a different reason after posting that though. both of your techniques could be different. asin different stances and foot height. bu honestly i would rather have a 300lb squat and a 400 pound leg press than have a 200 pound squat with an 800 pound leg press.

if you are only going to go to hit cardio then no

It's because leg press is for ***gots, and you sir, being a member of MSC, are not a ***got.


Actually this is the real answer:

either his ROM sucks(which probably isnt it or you wouldnt need to ask this)

or his quads are stronger than yours(most likely) the reason your squat and dead is better is because you have a stronger core and posterior chain(no homo)

his is probably a weakness which is why compared to you his squat sucks.

leg press means nothing. my max squat is 365, but i can hit over 600lbs on the leg press for sets of 10 right after maxing out on squats. plus if it's the 45 degree sled, you aren't evening doing all of the weight that's actually on the sled. i think it's something like 70-75% of the actual weight.

Nice man, getting back up there! Hows the knee feel?

this talk of vids makes me want to buy another flip (my previous was stolen )

Who stole it?? Also, I got you back after recharge

[B1GinNY82307]

Gotta make sure it's alright w/ the kiddies! My son is having his 4th birthday party!

It's looking like it will cost us ~$500 !!

Who stole it?? Also, I got you back after recharge

Holy hell! that's a lot of fcuking hair! lulz!

And I wish I knew! Fcuking toolbag would have gotten the beating of a lifetime! I took it in the gym to record squats and when I put it in my locker to hit the showers (and yes, I had a lock on it) and when I came back, my locker was open and the flip was gone. Fortunately for me I didn't have my iPhone w/ me.

Just sad that people have no heart nowadays...I had vids on there from the kids past Christmas, along with other misc vids that has my kids on it.

still fcuking pissed about it.

[austin.j.taylor]

Feels good man. I plan on taking the first set of training wheels off squats tonight.
