Damn. I’m curious how long each of these sessions takes to complete? You are a beast.
I try to get all workouts done in an hour and a half. I only get to train four days a week so when I am
In the gym, it’s slipknot blasting in my headphones hat pulled down, no eye contact, and no talking. That is why I can’t wait for this heat to go away so I can get out of this commercial gym and back to metroflex. When I’m at metro I add in alot of unconventional lifts and take out some of the standard stuff I.e. Tire flips, sled pulls, car pushing, and farmers walks. Call me a pussy if you want but it is around 115-125 degrees in there during the day.
Gotta agree with waylander…what a leg workout lol! Apparently, it worked according to your pics!
just feel dizzy after reading your training log…
Foam roll your lats and your upper thoracic spine. One way to tell is how you fell at the top of a standing press. Do you feel you look closer like an Olympic lifter or does it feel more like you are doing high incline press while standing?
I did the 100 rep leg extensions to start off my leg workout today, good god I was cramping like a mofo for a good 2-3 mins after I got up lol.

I’m probably going to try this my next quad day. F you in advance for the inevitable pain.
shit now I have to do them too or I’ll feel like a biatch
@Tankman:
Respect, brother, you’re a beast! And that workout is insane!!
Just really curious mate, I notice you save squats and leg press for last on Leg Day after an absolutely killer pre-exhaust workout.
Any particular reason why? Most of my training has been to hit it hard and as-heavy-as-you-can early on or after a few pre-exhausts. It works so far, but just wondering out loud if moving it to the back of the routine would bring more growth…
Also, wouldn’t you be able to go heavier or more reps if you shifted it earlier?
To answer your question about the pre exhaust then going heavy, i trained in the past the way you mentioned. Going heavy then doing lots of reps. I train and have trained with a few top level npc guys in my area and they all almost always do some crazy pre exhaust first. I had my doubts at first but then I noticed nothing I can do makes my quads more sore after a workout then pre exhausting the quads then going heavy. Then after that it seems to be a pump chasing workout after that. When I leave the gym after training like this I really feel like I have done something. Also this was just one leg training day. Next week is a heavy leg day, it will be slighty different.
Also if you are talking about all the hamstring work first, I am really trying to bring my hammies up this year.
Also I have my shoulder and tricep day ready will post it tomorrow.

I added in some extra sets on leg press and front squats too after doing these, god I’m sooooo sore today haha. Good stuff in here man.
I did the 100 reps today after heavy squats and power squat, didn’t cramp that badly, but it was amazingly hard. By the 30th rep just thinking I had more 70 to go made me want to die.
Gonna try it as a pre-exhaustion exercise next leg day.
Lol yup thats when it hits me too, about rep 30-35. Shit starts burning like you are on fire. That’s why I train like this I am sore, I feel like I did something. I have tried alot of other low volume heavy weight protocols. Which worked and served there purpose but I’m a volume guy. The gym is my church I like spending time in there kicking my own ass!!!

Before you do the 100 reps, how do the select the weight? Do you just gamble with a weight that seems reasonably heavy and push yourself through?
sorry it took so long for me to post back. i had to go out of town with some family issues. even though i was out of town i still got in all my workouts. there is a nice little power lifting gym there so i got to bang.
to answer your question about the weight and the 100 repper i use a weight i can do 25 of fairly easy, i want it to start burning around 35 and be on fire by 65.
fyi update on the pull up situation have taken alot of advise on this site and been using the broom stick stretches and foam rolling ( who would have known a piece of foam could hurt so fucking bad). i did 6-7 overhand pull ups today with little pain. could have done more but i did not want to push it. thanks for all the info guys you helped me a ton…
ok time to post a few more logs
shoulders and tris
just to start off i dont do any over head lifting due to my shoulder being all put back together again.

10x10
lateral raises
5x12 with manual reps inbetween
incline bench press
5x12 a weight that is not close to failure

overhead rope extensions (cable)

dc extreme stretching
On a side note, the DC broomstick stretch is really aggravating my left elbow. I have been doing it religiously for the past 2 weeks three times a day to loosen up my shoulder girdle.
Before the broomstick stretch, I used to get discomfort and pain on my left elbow (the inner part) if i do any triceps extension or close grip pressing. Now it has elevated to the point where I am unable to perform any sort of barbell pressing or dumbbell alt curls.
Right now, im laying off the broomstick stretching for a while. Are there any alternatives to it that you guys use which hopefully stretches one shoulder at a time? Sorry for the hijack.
The 100 leg extensions were a horrific way to end the workout…can’t wait till tomorrow to do them again (must be something very very wrong with me).
