Wasme's recomp journey....

8/24/2015 LEGS

Well, all I can say is my legs are crushed. They almost feel bruised on the inside... the 5 second holds on leg extensions were brutal, followed with a ton of squats and banded leg presses... got my monies worth on this one...

Entire workout was 60 seconds rest between sets.

90x20
90x20 - 2 second flex/hold at top
105x12 - 3 second flex/hold at top
120x6 - 5 second flex/hold at top

- was tough getting up from the bench after sets 4 and 5...


Chain Squats - as explosive as possible
135x6
155x6
185x6 - add 3 sets of chains
225x6 - 3 chains
225x6 - 3 chains

I saw a link to it from a post by Dante Trudel (whose True Nutrition brand pays out of their own pocket to publish results from all their 3rd party testing) pretty much calling the industry out. I found it later on Reddit I believe when I went to look for it again. You can not believe how many brands were junk. Obviously Mass Gainers and stuff like Syntha-6 that are darn near mass gainers had inordinately low protein percentages, but any product on the list being sold as whey or isolate should pretty much be very high % protein, especially isolates.
 
Alright, taking your leg extension pauses and Clowns pause-rest on hammy curls today. That routine looks brutal.

Didn't know there was a difference in nutrition and supplement facts. It's kinda crappy that this 'loophole' is even available to them.
 
Those rest pauses look awesomely BRUTAL! Some muscle should be enticed to grow with that routine! SMHS!!
 
Oh come on man! Quit the whimpering
It's not like you did high reps on leg extensions - whoops scratch that
It's not like you did an excessive amount of leg curls - whoops scratch that too
Ok, it's not like you did squats with a bunch of chains added on - well, shoot, scratch that too...
Ok, did you lay on your back and do a whole bunch of smith leg presses? Dang it, scratch that one too

Ok, well you didn't have sushi last night so ha! That's the problem...lol
 
Wow! That's some leg workout. I'm hoping I can start at the gym on Monday. I might steal your workout :)

Awesome post! :)

Thanks man... finding it hard to keep my head straight on them as the sets get deeper.. keep turning head to the left.. any issue with that?



At the rate your weights are flying that outta be in what 3-4 hours? ;)



Thanks man..

Big issue there. Dangerous to move your head around when lifting heavy, lots of things can go wrong under that much stress when you take your spine out of alignment. Sounds like you probably have a trigger point binding you up somewhere in one of your traps or shoulder girdle. If you have a copy of the Supple Leopard look it up in there Kelly may tell you exactly what to do for it.

Damn straight it is strong! He is a beast for sure!
 
May be worth checking out the massage therapist I told you about. Amazingly effective!
 
Kelly Starrett did a great dvd set with Jill Miller.

Yeah, and I've been fortunate to see Jill in a seminar. Would like to see Kelly when he comes back up to Toronto.
Both are super knowledgeable and personable people.

I figured I should mention it as I have noticed it as i get deeper into my sets the last 2-3 chest sessions. I do have that on my hard drive somewhere will look for it and check it out - thanks! I might also have to drop the weight a little and figure it out, reset so to speak.

Just trying to keep up with the rest of you guys!
