btw, where do you workout at? i know you can't do all those supersets and stuff at the Leach.

I actually train at Golds gym, generally at Appalachee cause its closer to where I live. Yeh it works wonders for calf size.

So this last week has been quite a bit of overreaching. I have been training

AM - upper body isolation PM arms
Day 2 - Legs compound PM core
Repeat but upper body compound then legs isolation

So Fridays leg workout was posted above. Monday was legs isolation and occlusion. I trained them again yesterday but definately noticed the fatigue accumulating.

So Heres what I did

Squats 135 X 10, 225 X 4, 275 X 4, 315 X 10, 225 X 40 reps (just thought Id do it since the workout machine got 50, it was aweful).

Leg Press 6 sets of 10 with 6 plates aside, very little rest

then real intense stretching

My legs have never had this much muscle, and Im starting to cut.

Today Im going to doing some sprints and core.

That's unfortunate that you train at Gold's Gym. Great job on the reps, but I will get 100 next time, you're getting to close...I don't like it. It's great to hear that your legs have that much muscle. It's because you focused on the big exercises for so long and now all of your hard work and dedication from the past year is starting to show in terms of bodybuilding, and as you cut more it will only get better.

yea i live by that golds gym too, but i don't have a job so i have to stick with the free gym on campus.

keep up the good work. i'm going to have to try out a 40 rep set of squat next time i squat, won't be 225 lbs though.
