half assed leg workout tonight i won't even bother to post. my lower back fatgued at my 5th set and pretty much killed my workout.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

that's sucks man .. hope everything is doing ok

Don't worry! It's only one session! At least you had the sense to stop and not make it worse by carrying on! Might be an idea to have a rest day between doing back and legs to recover enough - back is used a lot in leg exercises!

^^^^ so true don't sweat it man just come back motivated

It happens, but remain upbeat. Just hit back with almighty avengence...ave some!!

thanks guys. yeah i just really wasn't feeling it last night. ontop of that, after i did squats my lower back was tensing up and feeling tight. it really limited my range of motion for the rest of the workout. today is a rest day and tommorrow is chest/delts/tris, so i can get 2 days for my back to rest (the day after tommorrow is back). i'll really strive to bitch slap my back that day.

Just to make you feel a bit better, I've got legs tomorrow and I feel like crap right now with flu like symptoms. I hope I'm gonna be ok for tomorrow coz I love hitting my legs real hard.

I'm sure with rest you'll come back on fire and hungry.

really smart of you to give it a rest coz i know how it is with an injured or sore lower back.... if you think it's bad then get it checked out, otherwise if it's all good next leg day then just hit them legs hard!

[CJU]

ok! i'm back people (lol like you care). i took a while off because i just got tired of posting because i didn't have a notebook to take with me to the gym to record my workouts. so i had to just remeber what i did and how much weight i did and it sucked. but i have a notebook now so that's not a problem.

legs- friday

full back squat with 245 lbs. reps = 7/5/3/5/7. didn't even hit failure on my legs coz my lower back fatigued.... =(

romanian DL with 175 lbs. reps = 7/5/3/5/7

hack squat with 100 lbs. i never did this one before so i didn't know how to do form correctly. i basically just fucked around with it. reps= 7/5

calf raise. 20 fast reps, 5 slow. 400 lbs.



arms - tues. giant sets, so 15 second rest between each set, and 25 second rest between different lifts. this REALLY burned my shoulders REALLY bad and i don't know why. no matter what form i used, my shoulders fatiged.

decline close grip BP. sets= 135lbs/135/115/105 reps= 8/6/6/8

standing wide grip BB curl. sets= 60/60/50/60 (lol) reps=10/8/8/10 (double lol. damn shoulders )

overhead DB tricep ex. sets= 30/25/25/20 reps= 20/15/15/20

close grip chins (cheated so bad on these....was so very fatigued). 4 sets of 6.

dips(cheated bad again)- 4 sets of 6

standing BB curl close grip- sets= 50/45/40/40 reps= 20/15/15/15

evo, i never feel single arm DB rows. maybe i'm not doing them right....

[MaKaVeLi]

i have a good memory so i can remember every set of my workout without having a notebook :) u must hate me now but anywayz your squats look really good but yeah you may wanna get that lower back stronger and 15 sec between sets is nothing short of devastating, good work!

[Rocky]

Glad to see your log back on track and Mak is right - awesome giant sets with that rest time!
That's some superb weight you're lifting on that squat. I'm sure your deads will bring up your lower back on par with doing heavier squats soon enough!
With regard to DB rows. The form is important, just as in BB rows.
I use a slightly inclined bench when doing them to give a similar body position as would be the case in BB row, then looking ahead I draw the dumbbell up and back in an arc, really focussing on the lat.
Good work though man.

yea my legs are really fuckin big....but i hate them! they are also the fattest part of my body! i have a pretty well defined quad, but that's it!

it's just in my genetics...my dad is a big black body builder (but he has alot of fat aswell...he goes for size and strength, not definition) and he has to get pants specially made for him because he can't pull normal ones over his thighs. it pisses me off seeing these genetic freaks with defined, veiny legs. >=/

[xtweak05]

good workout man.

you got any pics of your dad or you for that matter...see how good those genetics are.

haha sometimes I wish my thighs were big, stubborn pieces of crap
