sorry but if you notice pussy in the gym than your workout is not intense enough - I suggest you take my word to heart and work on it

Been to that one....great gym. Power Factory in (dont recall city) Ohio is great. Flex Gym in Racine, WI was a great gym Not sure what they've done to it lately. DePaepes Gym in Rock Island, IL was the shit while I was in school.

Surprisingly enough there are no really good gyms here in Phoenix.

Nice. The Boston University gym is pretty crazy also. next time you are in Boston take a tour. Northestern is more the JP - Symphony area than Boston. It's on the outskirts of the city really.

Haha ;D

Nah, we started off with leg extensions, three main sets working up to 220lbs to failure.

Then leg press, 3 sets, with 8, 9 and then 10 plates a side.

Then hack squats (which I hate because I prefer regualr squats and don't do them often), 3 sets working up to 450lbs (Leroy did 495)

Lying extensions for hams, 3 sets (using the stack but unsure of how much weight)

Standing leg curls 2 sets (same as above)

Seated calf raises working up to 185lbs

Standing calf raises, 3 sets working up to 800lbs (Leroy did 900lbs)

It's amazing how much muscles can hurt when you do exercises properly with strict form - my legs are still hurting now.

That standing calf machine is amazing. I also love how good all the machines for back are.
