yo rocky i have the same problem in that I don't feel it in my quads that much at all when I'm doin squats and I know my form is good and I'm sure your's is too...I think what it could be is an imbalance in leg strength in that the weaker muscles feel it more than quads - for example lunges are supposed to be for quads but I only feel it in my ass! but that's coz my quads overpower my glutes and hammys - anyhow you're hammy strength looks really good so I don't know how much of what I said applys to you

Cheers q80!

Mak - glad I'm not the only one then! My legs are sore as hell today though so I guess it worked 'em more than it felt like at the time, or it was just a combination of everything I did I suppose.

Anyhow, today I did some grip,wrist and foreamrm work just to try and improve my grip strength more than anything! Was gonna do some ab work for the first time in weeks but fell asleep - working 7 days and being on here so long is tiring work! :)

yeah kinda like a hack but not quiet....front squats a re good on the smith but again you have to get ur feet right.........just try a few reps with just the bar until you figure out where ur feet r supposed to be good luck bro

Will do man! Don't wanna risk doing myself an injury by trying to go to heavy! Never done them before so lightweight will probably be enough to feel it anyway! Thanks again.

I'm exactly the same. It feels like I've been in a black sorority house the next day.

O-kay...

Anyway, back to the log...

Chest and Back yesterday - routine first, then comments.

Smith Incline: 90lb x 12, 135lb x 10, 180lb x 8, 200lb x 8 (w/pauses)
Seated Machine Press: 140lb x 10, 200lb x 5 (3 sets)
DB Flyes: 45lb x 10, 60lb x 8 (2 sets)
Pec Deck: 100lb x 10, 150lb x 9, x 8, 90lb x 25 - flush set

Wide Grip chins: (warmed up on lat pulldown, then:) x 10, w/22lb x 5 (3 sets)
BB Row (Yates grip): 147lb x 10, 243lb x 8, x 6 - w/partials
Seated low row: 135lb x 10, 210lb x 8 (2 sets) -body english!
Close grip pulldown: 120lb x 10, 150lb x 8, 165lb x 8

Ok - training on my own again today. Really bummed out about the weight I was using in smith incline - thought it should be more than that. So that set me on a downer for the rest of chest. The when it came to wide chins - when I did them in my garage I go up to 45lb weights hanging off me, and I could barely get out these reps with 22lb!
Just seems I get up to a level - change something cos I start to level out and then go right back a few weeks!! Then get back up there again over a period of more weeks, just to go back down again! Most frustrating. I've only just changed to this split - which I think is working for me, so maybe I need to re-evaluate my training style for a while. Just not sure....cursed body!!

I'm the only one who is allowed to say the word penis in Rocky's log.
