Don't get down on yourself for the leg days..... you gotta protect your geriatric back lol jk

Yeah, don't sweat those numbers at all. Everybody has what I like to call "A high gravity day".

 

[trueathlete]

Looks good

Every leg day is a high gravity day for me. I just have to accept that I'm an old man with crappy knees and an equally worn out back.

I actually have done them in the past with a 45 and a 25 on each side. I just fear for my elbows in my old age. And yes I'm entitled to brag a little to boost my ego in light of my pathetic leg workouts.

 

[EasyEJL]

dang, thats almost 200lbs, a normal ezbar is 25.

I'm an idiot, I did it with 45lbs for an olympic bar when I did the math. I'm kinda beat from my workout this morning, and flying in from seattle last nite on a redeye

When I used to train in Salem, Oregon there was this guy who would put 2 45's on each side and rep it out like it was nothing.

 

[EasyEJL]

I do enjoy the way they feel doing them

 

[bioman]

Yeah those are stressful on the old elbow joints for sure. I used to do them heavy..with 8 10 pound plates stacked on and then go over and do weighted dips with 90 pounds tied around my waist.

Not sure my elbows or shoulders will ever forgive me for that. lol

Log update from day #54. Leg day.

Quads:

Squats

warm up sets: empty bar for 20, 135 for 10, 205 for 8, 245 for 4.

Set 1: 275 for 10

Set 2: 325 for 10

Set 3: 335 for 10

Hamstrings:

Romanian deadlifts W/bar 4 sets of 135 for 15 reps

It was actually pretty good leg workout for a change. Nothing remarkable in terms of weights used, but my knees and back felt good. I did really slow and deliberate reps, with very little rest time between sets. Great pump.

I tried to PM you, but it says you can't accept new PM's because you are at your storage limit.

I have been done with this log for over a week, but I'm only now finally finding some time to get up a summary of the log. The log was tiltled Drive/RPM log. However, at various times I was running only one or the other. I also added neovar into the mix toward the end of the log.

All in all I had some solid strength gains. I still need to check my weight (I train at home and don't own a scale). However, in my mind strength gain is a much better indicator of progressthan weight gain.

RPM specific observations:

1. Great non jittery energy, and mental focus
2. Strong appetite suppression at the right dose (for me it was anything over 4 caps)
3. Good strength gain
4. Heightened sense of smell (yes it's weird observation)

Drive specific observations:

1. Insane pumps that never fully went away
2. Excellent stength gain
3. Significant increase in sex drive

Neovar specific observations:

1. Dramatic increase in appetite
2. Good pumps
3. Good strenght increase

Keep in mind that I made some nice progress despite being sleep deprived (my kids are killing me), fighting through a number of injury issues, and getting sick acouple of times.


Negative observations:

One of these supplements caused me to have some noticable break out on my back. I have been unable to pinpoint which one is the cause. I also had some mild headaches early on in the log. However, I can't say for sure it was related to any of the supplements I was taking. Other than that I really can't think of a single noticable side effect.

After the first of the year i will be starting a Drive only log. My main goal will be to get 420 lbs on flat bench. Until then i hope everyone has a great holiday season.

 

[EasyEJL]

Very nice results! have a happy holidy too devil!

 

[bioman]

Great work. Headache might be from the vasodialation brought on by Drive or RPM.
