You aren't kidding, you do love your volume lol. Solid workout! Smart with the plates-per-side, that's how I write it for smith machine exercises as well.

Yeah hit legs today.. abs and lower back were a tad tight so I'll post the only thing worthy
Squats- 315(4)x4 365(4)385(4)405(4)
First time working that heavy with 4 reps prob in a year

[superhuman67]

I'll just leave this here



from today's workout... hips are a tad tight so using trap bar off slight deficit for next few workouts

That's what you a call a SET !!! Great job and smart saving the Meso for the big back
days when you need that little extra.

I'm just about two weeks in as well and I have to agree.

[XCriticalBenchX]

Not a huge fan but need something to allow me to still move heavy weight and not tax my hips terribly... also this was my first day using mesomorph in like 2 months felt like a beast....but with a trap bar you need to do them on a deficit a little bit just to increase ROM

Why not a huge fan? Whats the issue? Having to do them in a deficit position?

Trap bar deadlifts...
I just prefer the regular deadlift overall
But then again I am so stuck in my ways.. I really need to incorporate more low rack pulls and even Reeves deadlifts again

Glad to hear strength is going up. That's what I have noticed as well (in Week 4 now) and also the drying out effects. Very noticeable first thing in the morning for sure.

OVerall today was more to focus on some hams and to try to get into the routine of hitting legs twice a week and having one day of conventional deadlifts and one day of stiff legs... Once I start building on the volume I hope to be doing 12-16 sets of deadlifts a week... 8-9 being hamstring focused including Dumbells( banded dumbells are insane btw)

[Big_Spaz]

Excellent log so far man, honestly. I literally look forward to coming into this thread every day and seeing what your results/numbers/thoughts look like. Love how well everything is going for you so far.

Keep up the great work!

I started doing the same exact thing about 6 weeks ago (breaking my leg days into two separate days per week). Focusing on Quads and Calves the one day and Hams and Calves the second day. I have to admit it's going very well so far, but sometimes the soreness is spilling over into the next training session (I go Mondays and then either Thursday or Friday) but overall it's been great. My legs need work, and breaking them up like this seems to be the best way to attack them.

Killing it, man! Those negative reps on the leg press are killer.. throw those in whenever I can deal with them.

Thanks man for the first time in my 9 years of lifting weights its been hard to be consistent my hours at work are terrible.. and sleep is bad during work days.. hunger is in a weird spot.. So I am training as hard as I can the past few weeks has been very productive. I'll be getting a partner at work next week or so.. so should get a tad easier and may be able to get an additional workout in at the stationhouse

[XCriticalBenchX]

Do you have any plans to compete again bro? Just curious!

With work now..no.. I will be doing a 4 week diet/cut/whatever you want to call it for my honeymoon in july!
After my last show I really got sick of the industry and what is becoming ESPC social media... everyone is a natural pro or Nationally qualified. or this or that... I like the gym better then the stage no doubt about it.. I may eventually throw my hat into some natural powerlifting contests who knows.. but for now as clique as it sounds I just want to be a better self. This year I'll be getting married/buying a house( 20 minutes outside manhattan) pay off my student loans and passed a promotional test that 9500 people who took it failed.. sorry RANT over...simple answer NO

[eyeguy]

Man those are some SERIOUS heavy deadlifts, great job!


I'm noticing (in Week 4) I'm really starting to harden up now. Hopefully you guys start to see that as well. I mean I'm not bone dry or anything, but I can tell around my delts, traps, upper chest, lower abs, calves, etc. the skin is starting to get tighter. Loving what I'm seeing from Novedex so far!
