Thanks Chris, found it very intense. After these first 3 workouts, I'm thinking I should have started this MD stuff a while ago!Sounds like you crushed the workout man!

*went for 85 on preachers it was a huge struggle to hit the 8 count, so dropped it back down to 80
Rest periods were short and again workout was crazy good. Arms were pumped, and all jittery when I went in the house.
Tell me about it. Can't say as I have ever done tri/bi/tri or bi/tri/bi supersetted before. Only took 30 seconds between supersets so those doubled up ones felt like they were back to back.Gotta love those tri-sets and supersets for the pumps
No sorry, don't use it. Go for it!Are you doing these on Jefit? I'm gonna attempt to steal this for tomorrow.
Yes the first superset I did standing / alternating. The seated ones stated to do them at the same time.Also, are the curls alternating?
understatement of the year :yup:Like many of us on here, I do have a busy life with a career/family (somewhat large) …
Only way to be noticed, is to be fashionably late! Glad to have you of course.understatement of the year :yup:
just rollin in mang, fashionably late to the party y'know :cool2:
go get 'em, FREAK
Thanks Chris. Glad I have the day off!Nice work Simon killing it as usual in here!
Indeed. And at this time of year, I will be able to work 4 weights session in easily over the holidays.Days off are great, time for rejuvenation and reflection.
Thanks ThomasI find that db lunges are awkward for me but not bb lunges. If you have a smaller bb and throw it over your traps like you would a squat, see if those are a little less awkward for you.
Thanks MontanaNice nice! Good work in here!
LMAO... looks good on him!^^ that
some Christmas entertainment for simon..

Dude great workout bud. I absolutely love MD leg days.12/28/2014 Decided to see how the trails / park were this morning and headed out for a 6km run. Park was littered with trees/branches from all the ice being on them. Was like running an obstacle course for part of it. Good run though, first one in 5-6 days..so felt nice Mountain Training - Program 3 Week 3 - Phase 1 - Legs Lying Leg Curls 70x15 - two leg warmup 70x15 40x15/15 - work sets one leg at a time 40x15/13 35x15/15 Squats 135x8 185x8 205x6 215x6 215x6 - performed with my new safety squat bar. Took a little getting used to, but certainly liked that bar and will be keeping it. - slow decent on the squats - slightly above parallel Smith Squats (no leg press) with monster mini bands 185x8 205x8 215x8 215x8 - these were tough, was supposed to be last weeks numbers - did not happen. Smith Machine Lunges 115 x 10/10 125 x 10/7,3 - all reps on left leg complete before moving to the right leg - strict form, hurt like a b*tch. Smith Machine SLDL - tried this and found I couldn't get the stretch I am used to Barbell SLDL 160x15 160x12,4 - much better, with a deep stretch. - typically I hit SLDL's for 6-10 so 15 felt gruelling to say the least. I had to hold up at 12 on the second set and take a breathe as I felt like I was going to toss my cookies.
Indeed, freak statusdanggg.. lotsa squatting, and lunges to boot! FREAKish
Thanks brother...the rest of the day has been a rough go.danggg..

Thanks for clarifying. Would that be along the lines of what we call a nurse practitioner?Friggin Mountain Man, slaying some legs. Keep killing it my man.
Thanks Justin. I am diggin' all the MD workouts so far, very dynamic and tough.Dude great workout bud. I absolutely love MD leg days.
I can totally relate to the higher rep SLDL.
As always nice job Simon!
Well good luck to you bro!They are similar as far as pay goes and their scope of practice.
But a Nurse Practitioner can work solo under their own license, whereas a PA would have to work under an MD's license.
I have thought about the NP route, because you can get certified as a Nurse Anesthetist and make a LOAD.
BUT, with all of the malpractice lawsuits and crap, I would rather be working up under someone else's license. PA's can't technically be sued. The MD's insurance would cover that.
