Split squats don’t bother it all.
And surprisingly neither do leg extensions, but that is one reason I don’t go as heavy on the leg ext’s. Also, the #s for that are per leg.
Noted- I haven’t been pushing myself as hard as I could be lately, trying to work on it.
Also, since this was a new leg workout, it didn’t take much weight to hurt like hell for a few days. My quads and glutes were killing me.

I think what has happened, is I’ve been experimenting with different log methods. I found a program I like now on the iPhone (3 different way recently), which has caused me to not be able to look back on previous workouts and exceed the previous one. Hopefully, I’ll be pushing harder now I know why I did previously
I’m not sure of the composition of MAG-10, but isn’t it a methylated steroid?
Anyway, I’m semi interested in what these supplements can do. I really liked the batch of Spike I got a few months ago. Will be watching!
What is the iPhone program you are referring to?

I use Loseit for nutrition, really great program
I’ve use iFitness, but have begun using Gym Buddy and this one seems better.

J-fit, I gotta say, I kind of agree. I like you and all, its just that once I got that idea out of my head, I started to porgress. I remember making a big deal over ion exchange isolate and CFM isolate and plain old isolate. Don’t get me wrong, I still make it a point to switch them up from time to time, but I started to really focus on the lifting.
Also, if it’s any consolation, I was in the same boat as far as knee issues is concerned. To this day, I still have trouble running/doing plyometric work. I got my legs a little over 25" at a reasonable leanness (can see separations and have abs) doing high rep leg presses, split squats, and lunges. Unfortunately, my squat suffers to this day because my torso can’t take the load that my legs can handle due to all of that leg work.

I’m really interested in how this training log turns out. So far it seems that the supps are not doing much on their own? (what I’m concluding after reading the above)
I guess nothing replaces hard work. But I will be interested to see how fast you progress with the supps now that you’re pushing yourself harder.
Do you have any sort of a control for this experiment? Any kind of an idea of how fast you normally progress with a certain program (without supps)?

When bulking it takes around 4300-4500 calories/day to gain about one pound per week.
I’m maintaining at around 3800 cals/day.
The only new supps I’ll be introducing will be MAG-10/11-T (though I’ve gained much more than one pound per week in the past with 11-T), and I’m considering SWF as I already have a tub of it

No joke but I definately think with those supps you could be tapping higher intensity. Supersets/Mechdropsets/6-day split/double training etc (not all at once)

I haven’t started the MAG-10, 11-T yet. Planning on Monday.
Wanted to give the ReceptorMax enough time to allow the ALC to do its job
My interpretation of the marketing of the supplements that you are taking is that they enable the user to complete programs that are denser than normal programs. Doing three sets for five exercises seems like you are not using the full potential.
Hey bro, I’m still watching and like the idea of what you are going to try-I think i can definitely learn something from what you are doing, so keep it up.
Taking 3 days off before starting the goodies along with 2-a-days.
Just 15 mins moderate cardio today.
3600-3800 calories past 2 days.
It begins (I hope the liquid MAG-10 is still potent, if not I’m gonna put on some fat)
