Kneeling leg curl?
Like a lying leg curl only standing. You do one leg at a time. The machine is labelled kneeling leg curl at my gym. Ill take my phone out on the floor with me next workout and snap a photo of it. Hits hamstring.Kneeling leg curl?
I gotcha now. I pictured it first and only imagined heavy leg cramps to follow lolLike a lying leg curl only standing. You do one leg at a time. The machine is labelled kneeling leg curl at my gym. Ill take my phone out on the floor with me next workout and snap a photo of it. Hits hamstring.
I've been trying to hit things just hard enough so that they just recover in time for the next workout. Ive kind of always trained high volume. Even when i do full body workouts i tend to do 8 or so sets per body part. Ive been hitting every body part twice a week. I really try to deplete my glycogen so that when i carb up post workout my body sucks up everything i give it and i stay lean while adding size/strength. Seems to be working so far as my strength seems to be progressing while my weight is actually down a pound since i started this log. I will be posting proper progress photos at the beginning of February.You've been doing a **** ton of volume man! Workouts look crazy lol.
I used to get leg cramps from leg curls every time i trained legs. I dont get them anymore. I think its the hydro3 that helped eliminate that issue. The one day i didn't take hydro3 and hit leg curls and i cramped up bad and couldn't move for like 5 minutes. I used to also only do 2 sets of leg curls then do something else and come back later and do another two sets. Now i have no problem doing straight sets of leg curls without a break in betweenI gotcha now. I pictured it first and only imagined heavy leg cramps to follow lol
Try doing g rest pause training, I'm going to start that again after Osta.I've been trying to hit things just hard enough so that they just recover in time for the next workout.

Only positives to note thus far in the log. I guess a negative could be the increased hunger but for most guys that would be a positive. I never have a problem eating enough. Im going to do a month end review at the end of january with progress photos. Im going to keep this going though!Any Negative sides thus far?

Decline situps to failure for 4 sets with a 45 pound plate on my chest[/QUOTE]Man thats awesome news IMO!!! Great feedback and detail man!
Thanks manWorkouts still looking awesome! Don't beat yourself up about slipping up on the macros, at least ur calories were still on point.
Rest up and get back in there man, try taking a warm/hot bath to relax your muscle. I always do that if I pinch something and it helps especially if done 2-3 times a day for a couple of days.Pull workout
Had a bad workout. Been a long time since i haven't been in the zone but the pinch from last night threw me off. Its minor but a touch on the tender side so i didn't want to do any t bar / barbell rows. I did rows with the supported chest instead and stuck mostly to machines. I still gaver and tried my best to push through but when you're nursing something and afraid to push, you're not 100 percent there

Epic plus hydro 3 my friend. I love hydro 3 for recovery. I find if im feeling groggy in the morning, i take two hydros and it kicks everything into gear, wakes me up and i feel so much better.Damn dude! Im a little jelly of that vascularity
Thanks man, you make a good point, i always appreciate input, i try to learn from those around me, im still very new to body building. This march will mark four years of bodybuilding for me.Just something to think about bro. You're probably not going to make optimal muscle gains without putting on a bit of fat. The fat comes off easy. A 6 week cut can shed 5-8 lbs of fat no problem without losing muscle but if you're always worried about putting fat on you may be holding yourself back and take more than twice as long to make the same progress.
To follow up tho you're looking lean and vascular bro. Really looking solid. Don't take what I said as taking anything away from what or where you're at you're really killing it
Thanks brother,anything exercises you think i should add in to add some over all width? I really want to build my taper. I think i need to start doing alot more pull oversLooking good man. Back looks really well formed.
Just add in a delicious Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich per dayIm thinking about increasing calories again. I dont seem to be gaining body fat and i really want to push the envelope and make all kindz of gains. I may give it another week at 4000 but am thinking maybe it's time to push things up to 4500 or so and see if that helps pack on the muscle.
Haha, that's funny man, im more of a sweets guy, i really like taking a container of cottage cheese and mixing in broken up cookies/brownies/baked goods into it with a scoop of vanilla protein. One of my favorite post workout meals and it packs in 100 or so grams protein.Just add in a delicious Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich per day
I never could get down with the cottage cheese texture but either way I'm #jelly that you get to eat more hahaHaha, that's funny man, im more of a sweets guy, i really like taking a container of cottage cheese and mixing in broken up cookies/brownies/baked goods into it with a scoop of vanilla protein.

I think i get away with eating so much because of how i have my diet set up. It may be complete bro science but i make sure to not spike my insulin during the day by sticking to fats and proteins. You can spike your insulin levels with protein alone so i always make sure i have a good amount of fats with each protein meal. Then post workout i go to town and usually eat the bulk of my daily calories in a two hour or so window. I chase the biggest insulin spike possible and stick to high glycemic carbs to replete glycogen levels for my next workout. Seems to be working really well for me so far.I never could get down with the cottage cheese texture but either way I'm #jelly that you get to eat more haha
