looks good-you should try some straight leg deads for your hammy's-nothing tears them up more.

I used to do front squats and then SLDL as my primary leg exercises but since i fucked my back up ive stopped. i really enjoy doing SLDL's but i tried them a few weeks back with only 225 and i felt my back wasnt ready for it. legs are coming along though, im adding some size. god knows i need it! i got tooth picks:thumbsdow

nice and slow and deep stretch at bottom.

felt great today. very strong on the incline for sure. im going to decide this week if im gonna stay at LA fitness or go back to ballys. They each have some pro's and con's so we'll see.

just pinned my right quad. was painless. also started hcg last week i think. im running 250iu's of hcg everytime i pin my test. i think today started week 4!
 
Ive been going to LA Fitness but now back to school Im at a gym I need a tetanus shot just to work out in.

Great numbers too especially on incline. You said you work mostly with DB's, have you noticed doing that has let you improve your BB more when you switch back? I was stuck with the BB so switched to heavy DB, but now back at school gym we only have smaller DB's so BB will be used more.
 
to be honest i think using the DB's has made my BB bench worse. i think i get better chest development with the DB's, but for pure #s Id just stick with a BB. for me personally, i lift mainly for cosmetic/aesthetics
