Close stance/high back squats are some serious quad burners. Nice lifting.

with the legs, I basically get a warm up for five then do a weigh that is relitivly hard for four and do two sets with that. then next week I go about ten pounds heavier doing the same rep scheme. The next week I increase the weight of the warm up and then go heavier on the heavy set but do sets of three. So I am getting closer to the meet and the one rep hit. Even though I will not be competing for a little while. I will then take the new max and start over again. Assistance I do heavy lunges, leg press and high on back narrow stance with pauses as heavy as I can. My max is five hundred but lately I have only hit 425, so I am working on getting over that.

believe it or not I actually can not do squats any more or deadlifts, I have had four surgerys on my lower leg do to a muscle infection. The doctor said the bone is now to week to handle it, so I can anyting sitting down. So I am going to put all my input into my bench. I changed my whole workout out, I am following the work out of matt renyolds raw bench routine, since I am raw and natural it was a good workout. Then on other days I do shoulders, and then legs keping one leg legpress, leg ext. and leg curl all one leg and heavy and intense. MOst of my hit will be on my hamstrings to keep the push. The doctor even said taht they just do not know how much pressure will break it, so I just decided to do bench only comps.

Howdy, keep up the good work, remember that when working out gains come with time and consistancy. Your workouts do not need to be long just a good quality workout and be consistant and do not take off time. I wish you the best and hopfully I will see you on the platform soon with us.

Saw that you were doing power cleans. How are they working for you? What weight are you using? My bench has stagnated and I am looking to energize it.

the pc work great, I actually will two them somtimes twice a week, I usually only use about 135 to 165, and do low reps just get that explosion power from it. It really helped my deadlift.

Howdy, for a guy who's not supposed to squat or deadlift any more, you sure know how to hammer you leg muscles!
Hope to see you posting about that big bench in the near future.
God Bless. Doug

There's nothing sorry about a 275 bench, bro, unless you weigh 400! It's all good to me!
God Bless. Doug

today I did a bodybuilding style assault on my chest and shoulders, I did 5x10 with 165 flat bench, then 135 for three sets of ten on incline, then a wide grip one set of ten with 135. I rested inbetween mind you, not a superset. then did military press 4x6 then some byes. It was great, I will then next week do 185 for three sets of 10. Then one more week of this, then jump into powerlifitng again.

Sounds like you put a severe whooping on the chest and tris! Awesome workout, bro! I think it pays to switch up now and then, to keep the CNS guessing and to give your body a shock. Keep up the hard work!
God Bless. Doug

today was a pure powerbuilding, I did a decline with a six reps, then did eight, now here is the catch I did another eight for failure then rested five seconds and did four more, stripped it 20% and did six more, did the rest pause and did two more reps. After that I did the same thing for incline but after incline did a set of flies to failure. Now with my sholders after that I ran the rack on shoulder press, going from 25 for eight then 35 for eight then 40 for five and 45 for three or really just failure then back down with each one to failure. then after taht did a double drop set for the back delds. Rested two minutes and then did a single drop set, then finished off with dips, doing 10,10,8,6. It was not really powerlifting but if felt great.

well it was good, I did wide grip pulls up, hands facing away for ten,then eight, then six with five slow negitives on the end of six. then I did the same thing for close grip pull ups. Now here was the real fun part, I did sitting rows for 12, 10, 8, but everytime I hit failure then I did the cheating method and did four extra then five the six each with the set I was on, and I supersetted that with bent over laterals for same amount but hte cheat was 2,3,4. Next I did bies with a drop set for 12,10,8. Started with 35, 30, 25 with a filure rep on the end. Next I did three individual sets of standing culrs, then incline curls, and then incline hammer culrs.

Yee Ha! That's going to smart in the morning! I tell you, when I do back and bi's, I'm lazy! I do the low pulls, e-z bar curls, and high pulls, and I'm done. Your intensity today is off the charts! You're going to end up with a back so big I can jog laps around it!
Keep it up, bro!
God Bless. Doug P.

today was quad assault, did 255 for 12 reps, then went up 265 for ten then 275 for eight reps, then jumped on the lunges and did 12 with 115, then did 125 for 10, then 130 for 8 then same weight for six. Next I did lying leg curls with burn outs, did 110lbs for 6 reps then on failure lighten it up and did 10 reps then lightened it up and did twelve. After that I rested and did another drop set but only 8reps then 10. I will do this bodybuilding style for about five to six weeks, then hit a hard powerlifting routine. I am going to jump back and forth.
