Joel, I know what you mean. I get stares, sometimes outright disbelief. Then they go right back to their mediocre workouts.... unreal. James, I am in awe just reading about the weights you can lift! Well thank you, I don't know what to say to that.

This was tough! Nice work! Reading this, I'm struck by the balance between your pressing and pulling movements.

How many weeks are you doing each training cycle now? 8 weeks, I'm taking a week off after next week. When I'm dieting for a show I don't take any time off, I trained 18 weeks the last 2 years I don't know if thats a good thing or not.

Good job pushing the intensity even on an "off" day.

squats 135x10,225x10,275x6,335x5,385x2,425x6,6
squats went well today probably should've went up some.
leg press 580x6,670x6,940x9,1030x6
Leg presses are so misleading when it comes to listing pounds used, the design of the machine can make it possible to use a whole lot of weight! These felt good though!
lunge 135x6,185x4
My legs are toast by the time I get to lunges!
sldl 225x6,315x6,365x6,6
These felt awesome today! Been a while since I used this much weight and targeted my hams so well!

SCREAMING leg work. How much rest between sets, between exercises? I rest about 3 min. between most exercises or until I feel ready to go. I don't rush myself but I do try to train with a sense of urgency!

pulldowns 140x10,180x10,200x5,265x5,4
seated cable row 200x6,280x6,6
bent over row 225x6,305x6,6
rack deads 225x5,315x5,405x6,6
Why are these harder than regular deads? Their not as taxing physically but its just harder starting the lift at knee level.
shrugs 405x6,6

rack deads 225x5,315x5,405x6,6 Why are these harder than regular deads? Their not as taxing physically but its just harder starting the lift at knee level. I find these easier than regular deads. I lift far more weight too- 405 for 10 on Racks, but 405 for a triple (on a good day many many years ago!) on "off the floor deads." For me, I just sort of Shrug the bar up, and do a mini squat to get into position, then it's all gravy. You're not cheating off that first rep (which I never count anyway!), and it's only to get into position.
