damn i can't believe i missed the poopster's comeback log!!! oh well better late than never!

i listened to celc5's advice and i've been training bi's with my deadlifts and tris with my squats and my arms are continually getting aloooot stronger. of course i was just on cycle but still, it definitely works.

Legs are a strong point for me and grow easily. I found that whatever bodypart I pair up with legs, also grows easily. So, I split up quads and hams and pair each of those with a lagging bodypart on seperate days.

Say for example:
Quads/Shoulders
Back/Bis
Hams/Tris
Chest/Core

This allows the lagging bodyparts to reap the anabolic benefits of squats on quad day and anabolic benefits of deadlifts on ham day. The icing on the cake is that it also breaks up the monotany of leg day.

Thanks for the compliments bro!

I like the idea of spreading out the legs as well, for the idea you have mentioned but even more so i dont like doing legs so much and when i do a full out leg day i end up nearly puking half the time. I never worked out my legs traditionally until just a lil while ago since i snowboarded alot though they were still fairly built.... problem is that snowboarding is seasonal so id get a good amount of atrophy during the summer and always made it a pain the first couple times coming back into the season. If i were to work them out consistantly im sure theyd get strong and big fast though as i moved from squating 135 for reps back in last june to easily doin 225 for reps a month and a half later, but i wont dare go above that cause my knees are bad.

thanks again for the tip.

Something that I like to do to prevent squats from getting too heavy is to rotate them in and out of my routine every 4-8 weeks. Reverse lunges (BB or DB) seem to be easy on the knees. I also like a power clean/front squat hybrid that I use while I'm ON. It allows you to fry your quads while keeping the weights light.

Poop, maybe someday we can be as ripped and tan as Sfearl. Hey cheif, he's in the zone!

I rotate squats, deads and leg press around a lot so I don't have to go huge on squats. Mostly I stick to leg press and HammerStrength deads switching between the two every week. I find one leg day a week is plenty for me and do all my ultra heavy stuff on those two excercises and use squats for higher reps/lower weight just to play it safe.

And to any naysayers, I have gotten plenty strong doing this..1000lbs on leg press, 650 on HS deads. I just prefer to go lighter on squats having experienced injury from these and read enough horror stories to not want to press my luck,lol.

Hey good seeing you in here bro... been runnin into everyone recently Grunt, sfearl1, 3clipse, pistonpump, you, now i just need diplomats to jump back on here, lol.

Hellz ya man get back at it... and keep a log, it will help keep you motivated and true to your goals knowing others are there waiting to hear how you tore it up. plus man with where youve been before you should be able to gain sick and quick too with some muscle memory gains. Either way keep me updated man, im rootin for ya.

so do you guys really think muscle memory plays a big role in coming back up fast from your personal experiences? fortunately i've only had a single injury related to weight lifting which inhibited my lifting (for only 2 weeks) but i didn't lose much during that time so i have not experienced the so called "muscle memory gains" you get when returning.

I really do, your body has been to a certain limit before and at one point in time tha that was normal to it, as well as the fact, depending on how long youve been out and wether or not your muscles have severely atrophied or just gotten smaller, for the most part the same amount of cells/fibers should still exist so its more so an issue of "reinflating" those existing fibers, all the while your doing that new fibers and tears are still being made and repaired so i feel that for the first while you get n exponential effect going on for muscle growth, then it also allows you IMO to push past what you were at previously more easy as well cause youll get to your previous status with more fibeers all together and have a chance to fully mature all those usually ending in not only bigger butt most likely better looking muscles. I belive taht this is why many guys who reach a real hard platue that they cant break they just stop lifting and take a break for a while.
