  1. Working legs overrated? For some people they could be correct?

    Anyone here of the belief there's only so much muscle one can naturally hold onto regardless of how it is distributed throughout the body? You can have huge legs at the expense of some upper body size and vice versa.

  2. Making gains whilst reducing time spent in the gym

    Do you have room for a power rack and bench? You could easily cut your gym time in half training at home.

  3. Working legs overrated? For some people they could be correct?

    Not all my hobbies are synergistic. I sometimes travel to and hike remote places in my holidays. A 2 week trek through the NSW rainforest was my latest adventure. Rationed food and 60 miles of bush bashing through a rainforest which made the jungle in Predator look like a golf course turned my...

  4. Working legs overrated? For some people they could be correct?

    Well said. I feel it's more difficult to maintain leg strength in my 30's than 20's. Back then I would often take extended breaks and come back after 6 weeks without losing any strength. Seems these days after 3 weeks off I lose 30-50lbs in a hurry. I do recall a study suggesting leg strength is...

  5. Topic of the week: Is Overtraining BS?

    Wow, few people aim to downsize by overtraining, and you still have a decent build now. You must have been Ronnie Coleman size two years ago.

  6. Train to increase vertical?

    Squats. Not half assed parallel squats but full olympic squats. Aim to squat 2x BW (olympic) or 2.5x BW to depth. Training movement efficiency will help but if you're weaker than a kitten your best bet is to get strong first. If you want to bring up your squat fast and boost your vert cut back...

  7. Why won’t my arms grow?

    This, and focus on isolating the tri's and bi's. The weight you're moving suggest you're not truly isolating your arms. Given your larger muscle groups are much more powerful I suggest spend time on isolation exercises training with higher volume, lower loads and training for the pump. A high...

  8. Intensity vs workload

  9. Chest Isolations

    Dumbell pullovers also hit the chest incredibly hard.

  10. Do you get sore anymore after a workout even when you do legs?

    Comes down to training frequency. Once a week and I can't squat to take a dump. Twice a week leg training sees a little soreness but it's negligible. If I train legs EOD or ED running intense programs such as Smolov I don't get sore at all.

  11. DR SQUAT ABC TRAINING

    If it's mass you seek search Tom Platz leg training. The guy had mammoth legs in comparison to Hatfield not to mention he started out with twigs.

  12. HORIZONTAL VS VERTICAL TRICEPS MOVEMENTS

    Yes that's what I go for. I never bothered looking into the biomechanics. In general the exercises that give the best pumps put on the most size and strength in my case.

  13. HORIZONTAL VS VERTICAL TRICEPS MOVEMENTS

    I don't get much out of close grip bench or dips for tricep development. Skull crushers have by far put the most meat on my tri's. OH tricep extensions are a close second.

  14. Straight sets versus ramping weight

    Well said.

  15. At what age did you give up trying to have the perfect body?

    This is true for me also. I certainly didn't strive for a physique like the early Mr America winners when I first started training. I now think these guys had the best of everything. Strength, the illusion of size due an emphasis on aesthetics, a healthy body fat level and excellent physical...

  16. At what age did you give up trying to have the perfect body?

    I'm 33 and still building my best physique.

  17. 2x a week for growth?

    In regards to training frequency also consider the more you practice something the better you get at it. I find I maintain a stronger mind/muscle connection when training muscles multiple times a week. Let's say you squat every single day. After a few weeks you'll be amazed how much better...

  18. Question about front squats

    Cross arm is so much more comfortable for me. I can hold the barbell that way all day. My wrists feel like they'll break off olympic style

  19. 6 week bloods...Do I need to fast for hormone panel?

    Yep training prior to tests had my liver enzymes in the red. Not a big deal but saves you having a repeat test.

  20. I'm a Carnivore

    I tried the squats and milk program a few years back. Had me ****ting diamonds.
