315lbs x 4
355lbs x 1
385lbs x 4 (PR! 5 would have been questionable, 4 went up slow)
335lbs x 9!!! (I’d been doing 315 as my rep set and got up to 12 or whatever, so I decided to up this weight. Was expecting 6, 8 tops. My legs could have gotten 10 FOR SURE, but vomit chunks were starting to come up my throat, and I didn’t wanna make a mess. I really like this method of a lower rep and higher rep work set.)
Hack squats
Started hurting my right knee during warmup, so…
Leg Press
At about 4 plates/side, started to aggravate my knee again, so I forgot about it. Might try lunges next week.
Romanian deadlifts (I got the shittiest bar in the gym because the PL team was using all the good ones. it spins around and makes it hard to use straps or get a good grip. Also, all the safey pins were in use or missing… so I was pulling these off the floor, which I haven’t done in awhile)
225lbs x 6 warmup

Notes: Between every set of the second round of squatting I had to hold on some puke. 400mg caffeine and 2 HRX pre workout, 1/2 gallon of milk post workout. This was a tough workout, made last friday seem easy.
RAWR MOTHERFUCKERS! - Decided to start doing my legs kinda DC style and it was the most painful feeling I’ve ever had in my legs and the best pump.
Hack Squat machine:
8plates x11 - huge PR!
6plates x20
*I need to go heavier next week on the first set, thought I would only get 6-8max but got 11. Will be going 10 plates for the heavy set next week.
Seated Leg Curl:
155x18, 12, 10
*Need to go heavier on this also, kinda had to just go for it to feel it out - first time doing rest-pause.
That’s it, was short but incredibly intense. Tons of people stared at me during the heavy hack squat set.
Did the quad and hamstring stretches, hurt like hell. This honestly felt like the best leg workout I’ve ever done and it took about half the time of my usual one.

i did the squats pretty deep again, used the 3rd hole up for the safety bar on my gyms rack, going this deep i can lose a lower weight and still burn the shit out of my legs
leg press made me sweat bullets and got that puke feeling coming… awesome. would like to push more weight next week
first time i’ve done leg curls in a long time so next week will be better for sure, would’ve liked to have done extensions but it was hockey training night so the gym was taken over by the local team… damn mondays
looking large Josh, and actually leaner then I thought you were, the side bicep shot looks damn good,
Chest and Triceps tomorrow, hit the fricken motherload at the grocery store tonight, got a ton of steak and turkey bacon 99 cent a packet, I froze it and now im set on meat for the next 2-3 weeks or so, I packed the freezer bottom to top.

Here are some new pics…of the front side - which I never post lol.
looking massive mate, one critique if i can your chest is lagging apart from that awesome work. I’m assuming your already thrashing your chest[/quote]
Yeah critiques are always welcome. I am definitely aware that my chest is lagging compared to my arms/shoulders/back. That is thanks to being very shoulder/tricep dominant on pressing movements and waiting way way too long to get smart and swap out the typical bench press for other movements to isolate the chest better. It has definitely grown a LOT since I started that, but that was only a few months ago.
I’m definitely not gifted in the chest development area, its funny because I see tons of people at my gym who have massive looking chests but tiny shoulders/arms/backs lol. I’d definitely rather have my problem than theirs. =P
edit: There’s also a new lat spread pic in my profile pics, didn’t want to add too many in here whoring it up. lol Wish I wasn’t so white, or at least had better lighting because you can kinda see those huge chucks of muscle that run down the middle of the back in a lat spread in my pic but its a bit washed out due to lighting / camera flash.
I thought I was going to die last night. I was the absolute closest I have ever been to passing out from a training session. All from benching. Unreal.
Squats 6x2 @ 265
got all 6 sets no problem.
Bench 5x5 @ 240
got all 5 sets but it was tough. i had to lay on the bench for a good 5 minutes with my feet up, heart pounding and slow relaxing breathing before I could clear the weights off the bar. Damn.
On a side note I just ate a 5 egg scramble with summersausage, cheese and frank’s hot sauce. Soooooo good.
