i somehow envision bullrider as "that guy" who flexes in front of the mirror and does bicep curls in front of the mirror O_o

Working out when you still have some muscle soreness feels good man.

[Voxmusculus]

Yesterday's workout was awesome. I decided to follow Serp and crew's advice and did All Pro's with max weight at 6-8 reps for Squats, Bench, and Deadlifts.

Hit PRs in all those. Felt awesome.

We got that during our last PT class. When you workout you break down your body, then your body recovers and supercompensates before your next workout so you get stronger. However if you train before your recovery/supercompensation is completed and you're still in the "broken down" phase you only break your body down more and get weaker. Pretty much. :P I never workout sore muscle groups. Doesn't seem that beneficial.

If I grow and get stronger when my muscles repair am I just delaying the repair process? Like 2 workouts but only 1 repair? Am I shortchanging my repair?

We got that during out last PT class. When you workout you break down your body, then your body recovers and supercompensates before your next workout so you get stronger. However if you train before your recovery/supercompensation is depleted and you're still in the "broken down" phase you only break your body down more and get weaker.

That sucks. I wanted to work out today but everything is sore.

[justanothagirl]

You're on a cut right? Do some cardio instead. It's fun.

If you give something 3 days to recover it should be good to go with the adaptations made.

just keep in mind soreness alone doesn't necessarily mean you haven't recovered. if you can get in a good workout with good form and a respectable number of reps (aka not just doing 4 bench reps when you normally do 8 or w/e) then you have recovered enough imo. then again if you're cutting you're not gonna be puttin on mass anyway so it doesn't matter as much imo.

[bullrider_IL]

Legs aren't your strength.

750lb leg pres
Legs:turkey status.

Calves are almost as big as my thighs. Dafuq?

I was under this impression, I thought all recovery and growth is done within 48 hours (assuming a good diet).

Don't flex but I utilize mirrors specifically to monitor form. Umad?

Dem calf genetics. I think short people tend to have big calves, or maybe they just look bigger because they are more compressed. Measurements?

That's weird man. Your thighs should be like 26. I only leg press 360 and my thighs same size as you.

How many reps you do for legs?

I have poverty recovery genetics. fuuuuuu

[Znik]

I would need to grow my calves 8 inches to achieve that!

[bullrider_IL]

Calves 17.5
Thighs 21

Fuuu

2 warm ups 10-15 reps

Thinking phat may be the way to go. Dat dere hit and dat dere volume. Plus 2x/week

If I could I would. Squats are the one thing my knee doesn't like. Added walking lunges tho. May help

Maybe you should try not doing leg press anymore. Ditch all the exercises that your legs are used to and build a routine with movements that are totally new. Might hit some new fibers and spark some growth.

he will have so much muscle confusion he wont know WHAT to do!

Definitely this. Hit those lunges and do squats with lighter weight. Take it easy and you will adapt.

[bullrider_IL]

Maybe I'll add light high rep squats between Hamstrings and calves, then finish with lunges. Not if I switch to phat though

Not true...if you push yourself hard enough in something and really over do it, can literally take at least a week or two. That's why working out to the point of failure often serves to be detrimental more than it serves to give you gains. There's a reason why power lifters take a lot of rest and never push to failure...you can't make consistent gains like that. You'll get set back at some point. Pushing when sore breaks the muscle down further.

True. I'll work something out tonight and post it.

I wished had standing ham curl machine. I got the worst DOMs from those after I went to Golds.

[aclockworkoi]

New routine is giving me all kinds of DOMs:
