daaaaaaaaamn! Look at those get away sticks.
LOL @ getaway sticks. They arent big, just when you take my huge torso out of the picture, the quads by themselves look halfway dece. They might be 27 or a little above at the thickest point.
Aqua, I’m from Austin. Finishin up my last semester at UT. how about yourself?

Same here actually. Although I’m not quite not done with my time at UT.
Don’t be a hater Greg <3
Buggy, you have awesome quads. And I’m chasing that quad sweep especially.
Did you do narrow stances to get that?
That’s what I’m doing and it’s annoying for 2 reasons: 1) it hurts like all hell, and 2) I can’t use as much weight which hurts my ego ;(
I don’t have good sweet darling, it’s just a good pic from a good angle. 
but yes, I try to emphasize sweet with narrower foot positions. Just play with it till it feels right.
Today I did 35min elliptical after my test, came home, ate a meal, went to the dog park with a girl (oooooh), which turned kind of into a date, walked around with her for a couple hours, then back to her place…
w/e
anyways, I’m pooped. Really hungry too… fml. carb up sunday!!!
Bugs (if I may call you that) - I just read through at least half of your log - VERY impressive…holy shit you are strong. I love it when I read someone actually does the heavy partials on side laterals, partial leg curls, etc. people say “oh yea, it’s nothing new”…but they don’t have the balls to do it right…you my friend have balls. HA! keep it up.
I have a leg press challenge for you and Ebomb…the article is coming later next week…you’ll see…
JM
^ Very excited for this leg press challenge.

I was thinking the same thing haha
Great log here
A sighting of the Mountain Dog is a testament to Bug’s awesomeness.
Damn, thanks for stopping by, MD (if I may call you that)!
OBVIOUSLY super excited to put my balls up on the chopping block once again trying your stuff. Keep it coming! Even though a lot of the stuff you seem to focus on SEEMS like it’d be common sense, it makes a world of difference when you go out of your way to prioritize it. Thanks a lot for all the writing you’ve done!
Appreciate the kind words guys.
I unfortunately missed my shoulder workout today… Long story, had to deal with selling my car and all this hoo-ha before work.
I’ll do some heavy partial laterals at the beginning of arm day tomorrow evening.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Had a bit of a strange day. Was up very late last night getting in “cardio” aherm… slept maybe 2 hours before coming home to get my car ready to sell. Guy came late, so I got up early for nothin, blah blah, so I didnt do cardio…
Planning on napping from 5:15 to 5:45, snoozed alarm and woke up at 7:15 FML… no car and gym closed at 9. got ready, pounded stims, hustled to gym, and got in my arm workout in an hour. Was actually really awesome. Def getting leaner lil by little. New veins and shit… fun stuff.
Since I skipped shoulders, started with:
Partial lateral raises (<3 JM)
30’s x 10
40’s x 30
50’s x 30
60’s x 30
Two-handed 1-DB hammer curls (courtesy of DOHCrazy… Basically sit, hold one DB between your legs, kinda hunch over, and perform a hammer curl… squeeze hard. Was a nice variation). Low rest.

135 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 6
295 x 6 (strong reps, great control if I do say so myself )
Barbell curls (3sec neg. bc of rush, abbreviated this)
95lbs x 12
135lbs x 9 (that was a doozie… seeing stars after)
MD L-raises (in MD arm article)
25’s x 12, 12
Incline conc curls (squeezing the DB’s together) SS with kicbacks
20’s x 10 SS 20 x 10/arm 2 rounds of that and I was pooped.
I was so sweaty my arms looked like I was all oiled up. Amazin. Got out of there with 8 min to spare. Boss hoggin it.
Carbin up tomorrow, amazin.
