I like seated calves for a set of 100, as many sets as you need to get it done. Just get the knees forward over the toes so it's all soleus and take the gastroc out of the picture. Better yet, slam some standing calves before that and wipe the gastroc first so it can't help worth a damn on that 100 seated!
Get em IB!

Hey, I invited, of course I'm buying...

Thanks for all of the support guys. Definitely working my ass off to grow and stay lean. It helps having people in your corner for sure. That's why this thread is so motivating.

I hit legs later on in the day on Sunday. Pretty good session too.

Seated leg curls 4x15
Leg press: 1x10, 2x8, 1x6
Front Squats (decided to mix it up from back squats): 3x6
Smith lunges: 4x12 (each leg)
Leg extension pyramid partials: This is one of Mountain Dog's finishers... Your quads will be on fire after these - I'll bet Hellbilly knows what I am talking about
Lying Leg Curl Isotension: 3 isotension sets - I love these. You can feel the deep deep pulling and burning in your hammies
RDLS: 3x12
Seated Calves: 4x12

Damn Mondays... I don't even know how I am functioning lol

If you guys are looking for something a little different for back day, I think my new favorite pairing is: Smith One Arm Suitcase rows with Meadows Rows. Get a real deep contraction and pull it right to your chest while bent over then go slam the Meadows rows. I let my lats get a good stretch on the Meadows rows and you will get some insane fullness in your back from these.

John's stuff is off-the-hook...I love it!

I'm hitting them hard, I use to be concerned about my legs far outshining my upper body but to hell with it. Platz time!

I have chest/shoulders today.

 

[thebrick]

Hey guys. I had a graduation party Saturday and one of my wife's friends had us over for dinner Sunday afternoon... she's from Argentina so I pigged out on empanadas, peach-chocolate cake and anything I could load on a plate, damn! Did I mention beer and wine? I was not a good boy. Back on track today.

Got chest down for after lunch and see if I can put all that food to good use!

IB, good to see you back. You too T!

 

[turbobusa]

Well you cant always get what ya want ... but if try sometimes....
pre ex with a couple high rep leg exts hams then 3 big sets lol leg press.
very light high rep. Going into it slowly adding 90 lbs weekly . hopefully that will last for about 6-8 more weeks. we will see as i can onl hang on on my left with the sling on the right. That felt good saw Ed(Coan ) he was training squats.
asked how's it been since the hip replacement. said he felt good was doing high bars with 650. Good to be back home ---kinda...... T

Chest/ Shoulders were fun despite the gym being annoying as hell. Some guy was in the power rack for 30 minutes doing some type of Richard Simmons workout. I was trying to do reverse band benches but he kept going on and on with his 45lbs overhead presses with ab movements on the bench. I asked him how many sets he had left and he stuttered a bit. My training partner did the same, we were trying to judge if he was mentally ill or not because honestly we couldn't tell and did not want to be assholes to someone with limited intelligence. However, I crushed the movements and am currently eating beef and pasta before hitting the sack.

Machine Press 3 sets
incline bench 3 sets
Reverse band bench 5 sets
Lateral raises 4 sets
Rear delt flys superset with band facepulls.

another one down.

 

[The Grim Repper]

Back was great. No deads tonight, off week on those for now, which is cool. I need to keep some in the tank sometimes.

Straight arm pulldowns 3x10-12
Close Grip Parallel Pulldowns 2x6-8
Wide Grip Pulldowns 2x10-12
One arm DB rows 2x12
Barbell rows 2x12
Wide grip seated cable rows 2x15

Miller Time***

***60gm hydro whey/50gm karbolyn/50gm cytocarb

now it's PPWO meal, but I'm almost too tired to eat it. Smallest meal of the day. I'm cooked...

 

[AtomAnt]

Look like the big boys are rocking it!

Little guy had a good session tonight too... Chest and shoulders, a little something like this:

Nautilus Machine Press: 4x10 - Deep stretch and one second contraction at the top. Great to get the pecs warmed
Incline BB bench: 3x8 super slow constant tension. My negatives were about 5 or 6 seconds
Low Incline Smith bench: 2x8 then 1x8 plus 4 drops
Flat Db bench: 3x15
Super set of 1-arm pec dec flyes with stretch pushups 3 sets - these are the ones John did in his Santana Anderson video
DB front raises 4x12
Superset of smith behind the neck press: 4x8 and Side laterals 4x12
Superset of reverse pec dec rear delt flyes: 4x15 and Cable upright rows: 4x10
Finished with four drops on the cable upright rows.

Feeling good... too bad I have so much trouble sleeping. I've never been able to sleep, ever.

Hit back this morning great training session for this little guy as well. Lat pulls superset with hammer strength curls. Love the pump 5x 12-15 reps. Bent rows superset with dumbbell curls 5x 12-15 seated rows superset with preach curls. Got my swol on and ready to start the day

 

[The Grim Repper]

My recent foray into thickening my back up has been paying off nicely. Rowing and deads are getting almost easier as I add weight. I was always pretty thick and deep from front to back, but now it's starting to get very pronounced which I'm loving! First exercise last night was cramping my lower lats tremendously and I swear by the time I got to barbell rows, I could have broken my ribs with my feel set it was so light. That was cool as shit.

 

[kubes]

Nice! I had one of those training sessions this morning were everything just felt light. Man I love those days the pump was out of control as well. Keep up the good work the nicest thing about training your back is you get a whole upper body swell from it
