Explains a lot about Kodiak...

 

Dick!!!

 

10 sets of 10 135# squats
5 sets of 16 walking lunges with 30# dumbells
3 sets of 10 115# thrusters

Legs should feel good in a day or two.
I'm always the most sore two days after. That common for you guys too?

 

Yep

 

Yup. Day two is the worst. That's the D in DOMS

 

hard for my legs to get really sore anymore. been doing this shit for too long.

 

22?

 

If I haven't lifted in a while then I'm sore for about4-5 days after leg day. After that though, my quads are sore the next day and every so often the 2nd day.

 

Picked up my first barbell at 12 in middle school, been lifting off and on for 10 years.

 

did you also hit your first 300 pound back squat in middle school too lol

 

first time i did 405 was around beginning of Sophomore year in high school. our football program required daily 6am weight training. so i was in there 5 days a week till senior year, But then drugs and pussy kinda ruined me for a while lol

 

Hit the century club tonight..benched 100 pounds. Only 10 reps, but I figured I'd top out at 5 so I'll take it.

 

Congrats man! hopefully when im 40 i'll still be working out and not hanging out at waffle house picking up fat waitresses

 

I went the other way. Never cared about this stuff till I turned 40 last year. Since I was a teenager I always drank Mountain Dew by the 2 liter..for a long time I've been doing 2 of those a day plus eating crap.

Hell when I was 25 I could eat a bar pizza, an app, and drink 20 beers for dinner. I never got about 200 pounds because I had 2 jobs that kept me on my feet, when I got my desk job I got up to almost 300.

 

I've got you beat and I still get sore

Is this your perception of 40 year olds?

ABA180 I hear ya! I worked construction through high school and college and ate pounds of food at each sitting. Never gained a pound haha
Now sitting in a car all day I've had to "adjust" my diet for sure!

 

shit man. I was 115-120lbs in high school, and distance paddling kept me supah lean

remember an xbox party we had for one of my friends 15th birthday, we put 135 on the bench and none of us could do it. hahahaha


good times

 

kiss those big ass quads goodbye

The key to growing muscle is to aim for hypertrophy, which (debatably) happens in the 8-15 rep range and by going heavy as you can in that amount of reps. EX. Don't do 3 sets of 10 @ 135 on flat bench if you could do 3 sets of 10 @ 225 on flat bench. You want your last 2 or 3 reps to feel like you're about to die. That's what I do, anyway. Give this workout a try. It was my first ever and I base almost all of my current workouts off of it now. Which brings me to my next point: you need to change up your routine every 8-12 weeks because your muscles get used to the same motions over and over, so you've got to change it up every now and then

So, what you're saying is, shrugs are useless unless you want big traps? :not sure:

Yes. I stretch for about 3-4 mins before every workout day. Before any upper body exercise, I do 3-4 shoulder stretches, a few back stretches, and that's about it. Before leg day, I do 7-8 stretches for about 3-4 mins to get my hams/quads/calves/hips loose.

Seriously, check this workout out.

Absolutely. I did legs Wednesday and they're still a little sore today.

I'm 25 and I had a footlong Subway and about a 5th of Evan Williams for dinner last night!

 

That was an embarrassment!

 

HIIT and Back BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bitch slapped my brain pussy into beast mode!
It is on!
