[tman55]

nice rook

 

[SteelSouth]

Great work rook, 400 is there bro, I know it.

 

[rookie03]

yea i think i might be their too...thing is i wont use wraps or gloves...just chalk... and on the 4 th rep of 370 my hand gave out and thats why it was only 3 1/2 cause i was holding it all with my fingertips! thanks alot though guys...ill max out in a few months... i never max on anything cause i think it wastes a workout...id rather just progress with low reps than maxing...

 

[Winter]

Whenever I max out, I always do my usual exercise reps and stuff and then I'd take a 5min break and then max.

 

[SteelSouth]

Pulling some heavy singles can be a nice workout, though rook

That's wrong. After you do a 1 rep max on deads you'll feel muscles you didn't even know you had burning up.

haha well heres what im so proud of myself for... my muscle to the middle of my quads right by where the quad and knee connect kept cramping at the end so i was like man i really hit legs hard today!

well I drive home everythings fine....drive girlfriend home...still good.... haha then when i get home i take one step out and my quad cramps, then the other quad cramps so i collapse to my knees in the grass in front of the house... i try to stand up like 5 times but it keeps cramping so i actually had to bear crawl to my front door, bear crawl to my parents room and wake my mom up to get me a protein shake since i just couldnt fuckin stand...first time i actually had to crawl to my door...hopefully i can keep up that kinda intensity where i cant walk after legs all the time! Felt like a savage! Sitting on the kitchen floor for about 25 minutes, and drinkin a whey shake, i couldnt have been happier!

 

[Vegas]

Awesome dude. Nothing like not being able to stand up after a killer leg workout. Keep up the intensity.

 

[rookie03]

[tman55]

[Winter]

hahahah that funny - some guy moanin and growling as they bear crawl to the door cuz they cant stand up. Lol well, nice workout.

[SteelSouth]

Very nice work bro. It's good to have a solid training partner.

 

[Winter]

Good work bro

 

[tman55]

Nice rookie. you will def benefit from having someone push you. noticed you are going heavier on the weighted dips. be careful to go slow and se good form on those. they tend to be shoulder destroyers for some. you getting stronger?

 

[rookie03]

umm id say im catching up to the strength I had on the pro hormone I did.. cause my squat was 285 for 4 i think and now im dieing on 275x5... and my close grip was 205x6 i think and now i rep 185...just little differences so who know maybe im overtraining? Dont worry on dips i go super slow! Good lookin out though brother.
