haha i wish dude, it's a total of 10 plates. i can't wait till december for my cycle!

thomas, I was actually thinking about adding front squats to my routine. my main issue isn't them being stubborn, but it's having them catch up to everything else since I neglected legs. I've been training legs hardcore for the past couple of weeks and I've definately made some improvement. What else would you suggest? Thanks for stopping by.

perkster-miester, i gotta catch up with you!

Well I'll be damned you fooled me here Phil! I thought it was 10 each side lol phew I feel much better now! I know I said 500 I meant to put 1000 haha **** it's been years since I've done math as you can tell.

haha my bad dude. I always put the total number of plates. I was a little bit confused with that one, since 10 plates would have been 450 lbs haha

**HawaiianPride.** · 10-23-2009, 11:51 AM

Yeah I included the carriage it sits on too which is usually around 80lbs.

**projecthatch92** · 10-23-2009, 02:38 PM

So I was thinking about this the other day when I was at the gym. Has anyone tried doing deadlifts with an EZ curl bar? Reason I'm asking is because it seems like maybe you would be able to get a better grip with it, and easier to stabalize since it isn't as long as a BB, which could possibly give better isolation. Did that even make sense lol.

I really wish my gym had one of those bar things that you step into and the handles are on the side, kind of like a mini-cage for doin deadlifts.

pixil · 10-23-2009, 02:42 PM

Curious what do you run in bewteen ph cycle's?

**projecthatch92** · 10-23-2009, 02:45 PM

what do you mean what do I run, like supplement wise?

pixil · 10-23-2009, 03:07 PM

Yep. I'm coming up in 2-3 weeks off a PH cycle my self.

Wondering what to grab in the off stages.

**projecthatch92** · 10-23-2009, 03:15 PM

I would definately recommend taking some form of creatine, and also upping your calories a little bit.

Now I remember reading your thread, but do you have a SERM lined up?

pixil · 10-23-2009, 03:19 PM

Sure do :)

I had it before I even started my cycle. I'm pretty bad about taking creatine. I need to get more strict on it.

**projecthatch92** · 10-23-2009, 03:22 PM

you gotta check this product out. works pretty well and tastes darn good too.

Nutrex Volu-Gro, 3.38 Lbs. - $34.95 : Orbit Nutrition

I would take it about 15-20 minutes after my PWO shake, which would be taken as I was walking out of the gym

pixil · 10-23-2009, 04:00 PM

Yeah i need to look into waxy.

rmike · 10-23-2009, 10:31 PM

I hear good things about waxy. Anyone evr try glycobol from AI? jw

PM'ed ya big man.

Had my leg hypertrophy day. To be honest, I was so focused on just hitting my legs and feeling them work through each exercise that I didn't even count reps, I would just go until they started to burn, a lot lol. I do remember the weights however.

Oh and I also supersetted a different calf exercise with each leg exercise, felt great. My new favorite exercise is front squats btw, so thanks to thomas I tried them out today for the first time. Pretty easy to get the form down once you know how to do a proper back squat.

45* leg press
2 plates

Leg extensions

**Thomas_Rivera** · 10-24-2009, 01:09 AM

Glad you like them. I pretty much just stick to squats for my legs, my legs grow without much work however. I love how front squats feel.

**projecthatch92** · 10-24-2009, 01:57 AM

it was an amazing burn, especially since it was the last exercise

Hey dude; not to hijack the thread but depending on what you are running, I think PCT would be in order - You got that lined up? Also IMO the creatine works better if you cycle it - take it religiously for a few months, then take a few months off.

pixil · 10-24-2009, 04:06 PM

Tamoxifen / Clomiphene Citrate :) My rule is to always have the PCT in hand before you order anything else.

**projecthatch92** · 10-24-2009, 05:27 PM

Wish others were as smart as you :/

pixil · 10-24-2009, 05:56 PM

Now GO TO THE GYM!

rmike · 10-26-2009, 02:19 PM

Thanks for the pm- good advice brotha!
Im going to do the front squats next leg day but I dont know how much I should start with. I can do 385x8. Do you think 200 would be too much to put on the bar? Ive never tried them before and Im not trying to kill myself. lol Whats your max on back squats? Dont mean to hijack your log buddy, I just like your expert opinions. lol

**projecthatch92** · 10-26-2009, 07:04 PM

You should have realized by now that I don't care about my threads being hijacked, I prefer them lol.

I've never maxed out before on squats. I just started doing them in May so I've been working on my form. I repped 275 fro 6 reps, which was pretty good for me.

Personally I would start light with the front squats and work up. No point in loading weight on there if you've never done the exercise before

Thanks for the reps too :)

rmike · 10-26-2009, 07:15 PM

Haha you crack me up bro.
Yeah thats what I figured. ill probably just start with 145 on the first set and see how that goes. I cant wait until leg day! lol

**projecthatch92** · 10-26-2009, 11:59 PM

So I realized I was worrying too much about how much weight I was pushin, and not about the quailty of my reps. Not that I was doing bad form, but I just felt that I could get more out of them if that makes sense. So....I swallowed my pride and dropped the weight, and focused on reps. Holy awesome workout batman.

rmike · 10-27-2009, 12:17 AM

Nice workout bro! I like what you did with focusing on quality reps. I know what you mean, I keep good form at my heaviest weights but I feel like I can "focus" more on my reps instead of feeling like if I dont push it im going to die. lol I like to go lighter every once in a while too
