**jaredmus** · 09-05-2015, 07:58 AM

So today's workout was so different then anything I have done in a while. So with my 2 power leg days I will also be throwing in this GVT style day. WOW is all I can say

Squats- 275 10 sets of 10 reps- FELT LIKE CARDIO.
How the hell doug miller does this SS with leg press for 20 reps, shows why he is the champ.

6 sets of 12 rep calf raises-
one leg , leg ext- 50,60,70(15 reps)
Standing Leg curls- 90,95,95(15 reps)

Overall was done in about 45 minutes but terrific workout, loved the volume goal of mine is to be able to do 10x10 with 350lbs

**red_cat** · 09-05-2015, 11:59 AM

Been loving some 10x10 on arms and hams myself. Saves some time and gets the volume in. I'll have to give leg press a try in the next few weeks!

Pizza up there looked pretty awesome...lol @ getting the micros.

**The Solution** · 09-05-2015, 06:08 PM

Doug also does that with deadlifts and keeps it under a minute rest between each set
Freak of nature.

Today's workout after a 14 hour foot post. Holy Hell the first two sets were a struggle I was really stiff and not on that much sleep. This month overtime is going to be bananas, Pope is coming to NY, so is the president and United nations General Assembly.
lots of footpost, not a lot of sleep but lots of overtime which is GREAT

Workout

Squats- 335 6x6
Deads- 435(6)x2 455,465,475(6)- These were super fast, all dead stop all conventional pull.
Overall doesn't look like a lot but it was and my strength is climbing weekly.

**The Solution** · 09-08-2015, 01:19 PM

Pancakes and steak?
Yeah buddy! IN for some epic eats
Thursday your bday right?

**phillysteak** · 09-08-2015, 03:49 PM

Sick training.

I think I posted about it but I just went to Texas de Brazil for the first time. Extremely expensive, but. It was so damn good. Definitely would go back for some sort of celebration/special occasion. Get it!

Also, you'll be very disappointed in me to know that my wife and I grabbed a little cookie while looking at stuff in the Toys R Us store this weekend. Then on the way walking to the theatre passed two bakeries with all gourmet stuff just sitting there in the window. I looked at her and shook my head... lol.
