Yeah man i agree. I do leg press and stiff legged deads. Takes a lot of the strain off your lower back doing leg press instead of squats.

Right, but he's on cycle.

I'd never suggest leg press over squats, all you're doing is cheating yourself

Yes true, I do leg press due to L hip flexor problems which flare up during squats. Since switching to GVT damn I've had some major DOMS!

Your stance is probably too wide and you just might have other issues.. I thought my hip flexors were too tight then once I got into my chiropractor he told me it was my pectineus was not getting any movement so it couldn't fire, meaning my hip flexor was doing the brunt of the work

You could be right there as I do use a wide stance than normal as that is what is most comfortable for me, and I'm a lot stronger doing it this way but I think I must've damaged it as other everyday movements were starting to become sore as well. Been a month without squats, life's tough lol.
How long you have left on cycle there LtL??

That really sucks brother. I also squat wide.. Not sumo, but wider than shoulder width. Most stable most powerful.

You should foam roll the **** out of it, start stretching, and add in side lunges to strengthen those muscles.
Also looking into a chiropractor with active release therapy (art) will be very beneficial, to anyone who trains

Got about 3 weeks of injections still so about 5 weeks. I can definately say i bulked lol turnin into a fatty lol. This was a good learning experiance but i think next time im not going to go so heavy on the calories. This cycle has been alot of fun but eating 4500 calories just packed on too much flab. Regardless of bodyfat im going to continue bulking for a few months to solidify gains

Sounds like a good plan bro. You definitely added good mass though.

Picture just taken today weight 191lbs

[iparatroop]

I don't really see the "flab". You're not as defined as you were but you've done well. Maybe some water but you definitely added some quality mass.

[Wilpit]

Agreed ^^^

It seems like if im not shredded i go into a real depressed state which makes bulking tough yalls support really helps with me staying motivated and to keep grinding as i said im gonna keep bulking thanks for the support to all who have stuck around on this thread and giving me motivation it means alot to me

Yeah you're looking big man, keep at it.. I was never fat as a kid, always lean, so I have a hard time letting myself get fat to bulk, but it's what's necessary for me to get bigger and stronger. Water weight = more joint cushion, more strength = more weight on the bar which ultimately means more muscle

Tody was legs and abs did 10x10 of 175lbs squats and seated leg curls with 115 as a compound set F**ing brutal. Almost threw up had to lay down in the gym for 20 minutes after my 10th set. After that i finished up with low cable pull ins for abs and seated calf raises for calves each 3 sets. Unbelievable how 175lbs squats can make u feel like a girl with 4 second negatives. Im liking this GVT business!

Hey man I was just wondering how your gyno has come along?
I don't cycle anything but I've been noticing I have puffy nips (thinking my dairy consumption had something to do with this) but they tend to disappear if I get sightly cold.
Have you ever noticed this
