I was looking at the stretchers and think a taller guy might do well to do it with a cable crossover cable which is longer. Then you could put put your foot on a bench or box or something farther away. That or do them from the knees.

I've actually considered this. I was also thinking about trying them seated.

I've done them seated with a rope attachment for a great contraction

Another good idea! I'll give that a try next week.

Went in and hit legs today so I could take the weekend off from the gym. We have plans all day Sunday for Mother's Day and tomorrow's packed as well. Still may sneak in for a cardio session at some point this weekend. Weight is still holding pretty steady at 215 which is surprising to me being in a deficit? I have noticed that since I dropped my fat intake I don't swing on the scale as much. I used to go to bed around 219 and wake up at 215 but now I'm going to bed and waking pretty close to 215.

Today was the complete opposite of yesterday. I felt like I could stay in the gym for hours haha. I'm trying to stick to the program as close as possible as far as training but leg days on phase 1 just aren't enough for me. I still have a lot of gas in the tank when leg days over. I don't know if I should drop rest periods down or add more exercises. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna at least start adding some calf work in (I seriously lack in this department) and maybe some ATG squats to finish off with.

Glad you're feeling better bud. Based on the tnation articles, the volume for phase 1 legs should start with about 11-12 working sets (not including warm-ups). The example workout ends with 3 sets of hack squats, which include pauses, no lockout, and a dropset (on the last set). I bet if you added those instead of leg ext. you'd probably be ready to leave the gym lol. If you don't have a hack squat machine, you could try using a smith with your feet out in front of the bar.

Thanks breezy. I thought it felt like I came up a little short on sets. I guess if you include the leg ext's I was right there. I must not have included the hack squats to my notes since we don't have a machine. I remember trying them with a BB and I couldn't figure it out. I'll try the smith machine thing next week. I'll have to check out the articles again (I have them saved on my desktop) to make sure I'm not missing anything else. The smith machine and I don't always like each other so much so if that doesn't work out do you think ATG squats would be too much?

No problem man. Yeah, I'd try leaning back into the smith with your feet out in front. If that doesn't work out well, any squats should be fine IMO. You could add pauses and a drop set at the end if you want as well.

Yeah unfortunately deca isn't in the cards for a while for me. If I do step up to 19'a it'll probably be NPP for me.

Hey bro, you should definitely not sweat your progress. If you feel confident that your dialed in then consistency will prevail. The best analogy I heard/read for fat loss was that it's like striping a roll of paper towels...at first it doesn't seem like anything is happening even after you've pulled several sheets off, but the closer you get to the middle the more of a difference that one sheet makes. Just keep peeling the sheets, bro...and remember that you ARE sexy, and you KNOW it! WORKOUT!

Agreed!

Lol had to check for quote edit when he called you sexy. But hey I'm inclined to agree.

 

[Danb2285]

Ok alot to update on..

No gym over the weekend. Had Mother's Day stuff to do all day yesterday. Which was a complete diet fail day for me. To sum up a Long story woke up yesterday at 215.1 and went to bed at 224.6. Woke up this morning as a bloated 220.0 pile of dog sh1t. Pretty disappointed in myself honestly. I've stuck to the program so well up until now and just got too relaxed yesterday. Met with my coach this morning and we decided that we're gonna get a bit more aggressive for the next 30 days and see how it treats me. We're dropping my cals to 2250 and pretty much cutting carbs in half and fats to 50g a day. And also we're throwing In 2 metabolism boosting meals pre bed a week. Pretty excited about this TBH. Ready to turn it up a notch and shred down! Went in and had a quick simple but effective chest day today. Usually ill be doing chest and shoulders together but I was pretty pressed for time today. Here's the numbers

Chest
Incline MD BB
135-8
155-8
185-8
185-8
185-8
185-8

DB flat twist press (2 sec stretch at the bottom of each rep and squeeze at the top)
70-10
70-9
70-7

Hammer strength chest press 3 second squeeze
150-8
150-8
150-7

Flat BB bench 3 second negative 2 seconds in the hole
185-7
185-6
185-6

I noticed that my rear delts and tris were failing on me more than usual today. Usually I can feel them start to get a little shaky and weak first but can always keep going. I'm not sure if my chest is just getting stronger so its showing how bad my rear delts and tri's are lagging now or what. Either way gotta bring em up!
