Love him. It was a little malicious of me, He had a rough time last year on this day.
 
It's just occurred to me I've quit my lifting career a lot but yet here i am.

What's everyone's favorite hamstring movement just trying to find options
And if someone said squats I'm going to come through this phone and get u lol
 
Dmax's pursuit for power &amp; performance

In order of precedence:
GHR
SLDL/RDL
Single-Legged SLDL

My hams/glutes get lit up from the GHR, it's non-taxing, you can vary it with bands either working against or with you.

SLDL/RDL, it's easy to vary, and works you like a horse.

Single-legged SLDL, I've built a lot of stability from this. I used to look like ****ing newborn Bambi, all off-balance and shît, trying to do these, but now my hips have locked it in and I get a good contraction.

And squats!!!!! :D

Actually, I get a hamstring pump from box squatting if I'm wide and have a parallel to negative shin angle. (edit: I def wouldn't call it a hamstring dominant movement though...)

I'd say good mornings, but I've grown cautious of these lately. I might add in suspended GMs this block...possibly.

Agreed with most of this.

If you feel like you want something kind of crazy barbell back extensions destroyed me when I tried them out not too long ago.

Also like deficit sldl (with the right weight).
 
Ty swim your input is appreciated


It's almost time for this food fest to come to an end

Oh, and RDLs and leg curls are go-tos for me. I don't have access to a GHR though

You can use a barbell for them.

I like the old fashioned leg curls. Do your heavy set then drop weight for a million partials.

Well today after this small pizza I'm going to consume concludes my approximate 2 month semi bulk.

Can't say I'm sad either I will miss the pizza, cookies and just plane eating but I've gained a little over 10# I figure and this is unexceptable.

Starting tomorrow I make my return to RP diet and full time tracking and weighting everything. My goal is to a leaner 200 lbs which I feel is very possible with a little more dedication seeing how I got close this summer.

I'm going to stick with the setup I had before with 3400 workout days and 2400 none and make small carb cuts to the top number as needed. Fresh foods will be the priority with possessed food only really being whey, bread some lunch meats & granola bars

This time I will succeed
 
When u guys ask why am I always trying to cut. I know I will never be in there category but at least I will have tried

I agree with that 100% man. You just cant always be in a deficit.

Most of last year was a slow recomp which was not ideal. This time it will be cut then build

Honestly i prefer to just stay on a recomp zig zag style diet all year round once i get weight how i want it and body comp within reason. I don't necessarily like full on cutting, it makes it easier for me to be in a deficit one day if i know im gonna eat well the next day. Once i finish this upcoming mini cut im going back to that.

I think your issue is you eat poorly rather sporadically. Holiday season doesn't count so I'm not talking about that. So you eat enough to maintain maybe even gain a few pounds here and there and then cut it all in a few weeks. If you want my honest opinion, much of what I read in here in regards to your diet sounds like spinning your wheels (your training is great btw). Pick a goal and stick to it then move onto the next. I think part of your issue is the fact that you try to stick to the RP diet. It's a great plan, but come on. For someone who used to be 400lbs are you really going to be able to follow something like that. I know I never could and I've never been overweight. My 2 cents! Feel free to tell me to fuçk off.
 
I hear yea it is pretty sporadic at times but if u actually walked in my shoes u would see that I'm really pretty strict on times, quantity and quality but I can do better on not cheating (family life makes this extremely difficult)

I believe in RP diet and know it will work for this cut and as u know believing in something is big. This time when I implement it I'm going to stop being afraid of losing strength which was the reason for the long recomp and not strict cut. As always I wish I had before and after pic cause u would see that despite my miss steps it was very successful people actually do ask me if I lift now lol

Edit: going to reread the book tonight ti make sure I'm implementing it correctly
 
So my wife pointed this out today I literally have bruises on my lats from floor press I'd post a pick but u don't want to see that lol
 
Nothing wrong at eating at a constant small surplus, but really most people do well with just bulking / cutting. I haven't done any real cutting in a while, but I will soon.
