I like your back workouts, would you recommend doing rows and deadlifts? Idk if I should do them, I might hurt my lower back. What do you think?
Do you feel the meadows rows are stressful on your lower back? I don’t, esp. since I’m bracing my non-working hand on my leg. If anything, it helps warm up my whole body and lose the stiffness I’d normally feel when starting with DLs.
Something more LB-intensive, such as barbell rows, though might not be as great of an idea (although I’ve done it).
EP you are like jesus you dont need my advice.

Exactly - as long as you are bracing with that other arm Ebomb, you shouldn’t feel much lower back stress…just a tad…but def not enough to where you would avoid deads…I agree that regular barbell rows might change my answer on that…
Bugs - I think you are stronger than me on everything you freaking animal!
JM
whaaaaaaaaaaat?!? John Meadows himself is posting in your log? Bug is officially the coolest kid in school
Nice deadlifts for them being “light”, since that’s pretty much my max right now lol. It’s good to have some of the stronger guys of the forum logging. Not many do and it’s good motivation for the rest of us, thanks man. Keep it up!

Thanks for stopping by Veggie. You have boosted the T-levels of many of the boys around here.
Nothing to write home about yet on top of being pale and hairy…

I’ve been reading your log when I get time. You’re def. living up to the title bug.
You’re looking big in that avatar. Your arm problem seems to have figured itself out haha.
Nice avi
Omg finally read your log!..had to stop and fap to the avi after a few minutes though.
lolllllllll
So what’s going on over here?
just luvin.
Pretty sweet leg day. Training partner is out all week, but I brought the intensity. Changed some things around to deal with some things (wasn’t really feeling like doing SLDLs, for example, and decided to finish with front squats instead of hacks since I know I cant really push myself to total failure without a partner).
Warmed up with sumo deads. These warm me up really well. And I’ve been doing them a lot because I’m helping train 2 girls my mom, and in their programs I’m having all of them do sumos. Good lift.

Did 1 set leg extensions but I couldn’t even move 100lbs so I walked home.
Amazin.
That is some pretty hard-core leg training. I like it. Btw, thanks for indulging me last night w/the pic. So very fine.
Srsly strong legs man. Nice FSQs
Yeah those front squats kicked fucking ass
