Awesome leg day, thats one killer dropset on Hacks!

Workouts getting denser is always a good thing, great updates!

Thanks man Im really getting into hack squats the burn is awesome. As far as the workouts being more dense ya my recovery between sets is pretty much as long as it takes just to catch my breath a lil bit.
 
Matt is killing it.

Hacks are awesome, I haven't done them in a while. I have been on a deep squat phase lately. That's good to hear recovery is high, makes the workouts fun and people to look at you like your a BEAST!!!

When I do hacks I go reverse and go very very low...really hammers the hams and glutes. Front squats are good quad developers...

I haven't tried them reverse, but that sounds good! Why not superset regular hack with reverse hacks. Sounds CRAZY!!!

Most forward hack squat machines are poorly designed and the platform is nto big enough forcing your knees to push out too far to make them effective. If you have one with the really big platform then maybe but you don't want your knees to go forward when doing a squat.

The one at my gym is actually more suited for reverse. My feet are half off the platform when doing them forward

Yeah, mine has a pretty big platform that would be suitable for both. I will have to try it next week and see. I just did squats yesterday, I can't try that to day :D
 
I love squats but they are just hardest to get down proper form with. I've been lifting off and on for like 10 yrs but only really started training legs about 2 yrs ago. Effed up my back bad doing squats at first so I was really reticent about doing them. Took me months to get good form for each different type of stance. I love em now though but only with a belt. When you do em right you can feel your whole leg and glutes being activated, not just quads...

Yes I spend a lot of time on technique with anybody I teach. I am very fussy.

I'm experiencing same things as you... Appetite is great, pumps are awesome and vascularity and hardness are better than ever.. And all of that after just 1 week of 1-Alpha!

Do you have that "on" feeling?

Yeah, that was the big news :)

I feel "on" almost all the time but thay may be due to the fact that I'm used to feel lethargic on cycle :D

well congrats man. P-bold is something i plan on running at some point in the near future.
 
It's so good to hear this is not causing lethargy, I have to be honest due to the conversion everyone has been experiencing I thought it might.

Lol,I'm not friendly,you all would probably hate me in real life,but hey it's the Internet.Where you can be who ya wanna be!lol.Nothing worse than a small crowd gathering to watch you!can be nice,but if I just went to the gym to watch others,ash won't even go there.I hope to get into training myself someday,or something to further advance myself in life ya know,I've taken a real passion to lifting and want it to be a guide for my career!
 
Haha i could use an unfriendly lifting partner someone that wont talk to me and just wants to work.

don't know how i missed this cool log..fashionably late.

Getting bigger, abs & vascularity ain't changing. Nice work
