These box squats are a little high on purpose. The weight on these was low beacuse I haven’t been doing them and I wanted to make certain I didn’t end up on youtube because my original assement was too optimistic.

I’m adding the box squats because, at the risk of sounding like an utter tool, I’m tired of having skinny legs and I’m hoping more squats will be the key to making the grom.

I am the original chicken leg gym guy right now.

Not sure how that would make you sound like a tool. I think anyone who wants to be strong wants to look strong as well. And, for what it’s worth, you don’t have chicken legs…lol. But I completely understand what you are saying. I go through the same thing over my legs and non-existent biceps.

Let’s see if these load


And…

Not only is superchicken bigger than me, his knee wraps have the same effect as mine.

I may have to switch to pork BBQ to start hitting PR’s. Looks like its working pretty good for you Joe. I assume the BBQ sauce is taken orally?

That’s pretty much what I am looking for. I carried so much extra weight, for so long, that if I get too thin, I get wrinkly excess where my abs are supposed to be. I would settle for a relatively flat abdomen with obvious boundaries between bis, tris, delts and traps.
In the right light, under the right strain, doing the right exercise :slight_smile: you can see the separation between my anterior, medial and posterior delts. It would be nice to see that without having to hire a hollywood lighting crew.

If I close my eyes, I can picture that. Does that work for you? :wink:

That was ALOT of box squats. There is nothing tool-like about wanting stronger/bigger legs. Definitely go for it!

hello guys, i am thinking of adding leg press to my leg workout. i already do sqauts, would this be to much?

strong legs are hot - not tool, keep at it.

Once again - nice work with the PRs.

I hear you on the “food-based” PRs. I think after my meet I’m gonna tighten up the diet (mostly cut out the non-food value liquid calories) and hopefully cut my belly fat back.

another wave of PR’s. man I’m happy if I have one! why is it we must chose between awesome lifts and awesome abs??

I finally figured it out. You’re eatin that chicken with all the steriods in it and it’s turning you into a monster. Your bench is coming along real good. Weren’t you stuck right above 200 a while back? Now you’re hittin PRs on CGBs the same day as on milies. Got ta be the chicken. Great lifting. Look out Col Sanders, here I come.

Good job on the Mp pr’s. Do you do a split or parallel stance on those?

OM! NOM! NOM! … is good for PR’s…

Nice work.

Great work, Joe, it looks like you are earning your food.

Does it really always have to be a choice between abs and PRs? That is a sad state of affairs if you are me. :frowning:
