An old gun and a couple of cows.............

There is an upper body pic of me in this section titled the same, "olepapaswole". As a footnote to my training: I left out of my varying routine the leg extensions and leg curls. These are an intergral part of my routine and are alternated into my workouts with the other exercises I...

I've done half-squats and 3/4 down squats in the past (I mean, hell, I've been around long enough to have tried about every different method devised by man), but these are different and outlined with a post on another description. The legs you see are those of a former college football player...

This is the 3/4 squat related in my routine outline. Quads balloon, not for the neophite, very exhausting and not to be done too often. Every third week is sufficient. Go all the way down to the bottom very concentrated and deliberate and do not bounce just to return to the 3/4 stance. BE...

I practice the principal that "if you wanna get big, you gotta go heavy", but I've done high and low rep routines. My rep layout is similar to yours, 15, 12, 10, 8 and 6. Yes, I do behind the neck shoulder presses on the Smith machine, max during workout is 205 lbs X 8 reps (do these even...

My leg routine varies. Squats (3/4 free and on Smith machine), full seated leg presses (close for the sweep and standard for overall development), Hack machine squats (full depth, no bouncing), leg extensions and leg curls, stiff leg deadlift (for hams), calf raises on standing and seated...

I didn't answer your first question about when I started. I began training at the age of 12 (damn, that was a long time ago). That means I have trained off and on for 43 years. If I'd been consistent, as I previously said, I could have developed in half the time and maintained it thereafter...

The best advice I can give is consistency. If I had it to do over again I would have been more consistent in working out when younger. I was sporadic at times and all that does is delay the results.
