Hence my quotey quotes on 'totally awesome' Gym music sucks. But I had never seen a leg press machine that had that monster beam going across the top like that. I'm guessing it's for structural stability, but it just looks menacing.

I need to invest in headphones and gym shorts with pockets, otherwise I'm stuck with Fergie or Journey.

i hear you on the music front but these days i hardly register it, i got f*ck all time to workout so i'm pretty full on just hitting what i have to

that leg press looks real old school, probably circa 1970's but it still looks like it does the job, james is belting out some decent reps with the entire stack, go james!! young powerhouse!

Yes I do ask 1001 questions.

i tend to try to prolong the neg. in order to get maximall anabolic results.

I would also like to point out that it is my understanding that exercise in and of itself in catabolic. Your nutrition and or supplementation are what produce or promote an anabolic environment. Trying to prolong the negative (aka: eccentric) is what promotes hypertrophy.The bodies nutritional status determines anabolism.

Wow, all I can say is that stuff like this is anabolic minds at it's finest. Talk about encouragement and grace.

I would also like to apologize for being somewhat of an antagonist in your last thread James. Keep up the good work man!

Regarding catabolism and exercise, James, do you supplement anything intraworkout to help slow down catabolism? BCAAs, Beta-Alanine, Cissus?

You look leaner in this most recent video than you did in some of the older ones that you posted. I think you were close to around 200 lbs in those older vids, are you still right around the same weight?

[jamesatba]

[SilentBob187]

For your curls, if you had a wider stance would that possibly lessen that involuntary movement towards the end of your set?

If it would lessen the focus of the lift on your biceps someone please chime in. I don't want to suggest bad form.

[bLacKjAck.]

You should also try curling the DB's at the same some and not letting it fall at the bottom of your movement, thus giving the muscle a good 3-4 seconds rest b/w each rep.

Curl them at the same time, don't come all the way up or all the way down to the point that there is no stress on the bicep. Just a little tip for ya there killer...

[vince spider]

i didnt really see anything wrong with james form
keep it up

[B5150]

Consider loosing the swinging momentum that you have. Execute each one individually. I don't like the exercise personally.



Excellent video James!
