since all the squats and behined the back barbell deadlifts(hack squats) have gotten me stronger but lower back doesnt feel comfortable hitting these lifts. but nothing else on me is sore
so right now im doing lunges with my 65 pound dumbells. not going down all the way to where knee is hitting the ground but close! i feel this greatly on quads and no stress on lower back!!! my lower back will take some time to heal so ill do plenty of these heavy lunges...i guess a reason why lower back is sore is because it was a weak point in all the exercises but thats no reason to quit lifting!
-
i notice my lower back becomes magically unsore doing the lunges too!
-
Good call, JF. I've been doing db split squats too + leg press to let some aches get out of the back. Check out an inversion table, broflies.

How many reps are ya getting wit dem 65 pound bells?

How many reps are ya getting wit dem 65 pound bells?
sets of 15 right now 8 per leg, im having to consume alot of calories, but i like the feel of lunges they seem to dig deep into the quad . i seem to be able to do the weighted pushups no matter what, only mild soreness in chest i just need to do a shitload of volume, i dont always feel up for the one armed pushups

the key for me is not slacking on calories either, there is no growth without epic calories, nor is there epic energy CONSISTENT DAILY ENERGY. NOT STIMULATED IMMEDIATE ONE DAY ONLY ENERGY from COFFEE

Pushing off the heel of your foot will release the pressure even more off the lower back and hit the glutes more which hoes tend to like.

Yes, flexibility in the achilles tendon is key...

Well man, if you consume more calories than your body needs then you will just become a fatass FACT Also, it is possible to gain lean muscle tissue on a calorie deficent diet FACT

Well man, if you consume more calories than your body needs then you will just become a fatass FACT. You dont know exactly how much you burn you can make a good estimate but eating more is putting you on the safe and LIKELY side of growth
Also, it is possible to gain lean muscle tissue on a calorie deficent diet FACT this happens more so after a layoff or happens to a beginner, where are the building materials when in a deficit?
also im not worried about getting fat, this is where "overtraining" and volume come in
overtraining just means your muscles havent been fully rebuilt, either by rest or by food
so doing volume on chest and legs even when they are not full recoverd equals possible more growth stimulation and enhanced fat burning , because everything you eat well be desired by your muscles in an 'overtrained' state. of course some will go to fat too. Some 'experts' call this something like glucose supercompensation or intramuscular supercompensation, this results in more size and more energy
but when you have been overeating for a while and training for a while you dont get fatter , you just maintain what you got or slowly get leaner and stronger

Lower back is sometimes like that but don't give up. Keep on soaring high in the sky Johnnay.

Im in the same boat my friend.Back pains for a while now, so realising i had to stop doing squats for a while to see if it heals up, i tried sets of heavy lunges, and Damn my legs were aching next day much more than they do after squatting the day before :)
-
good idea, destroying your back for no purpose, considering nobody cares about the size of your legs "muscles" but you.

Dear Falclunges,
Most likely your back pain was caused by your piriformis muscle being tensed from all exercises mentioned above and irritating your sciatic nerve which often causes lower back pain but no pain in the legs
Lunges have a gentle way to stretch it and make it and relieve the inflammation almost instantly.

its stil dificult to do more than 8 sets of 10-15 on dumbell lunges with 65 ppounders
and you get even less reps when doing weighted pushups. its very difficult now i seem to be at a sticking point
i know my max volume for chest has be 120 reps total on weighted pushups with a 40 pound weight on, it takes a good while to do that many and i feel it will be a record thats difficult to break but i dont want to spend al freaking day doing them

johnny, muscle growth would be just as efficient with a couple hundred extra calories no?
-
Fvck dat volume horseshit Falcon, it makes no goddamn sense to keep stimulating the same muscle fibers over and over. This volume training can help you to get leaner by burning calories, but it's not the most efficent means for building size and strength. Stick with not more than 2 working sets per exercise, son.

well today i did sets of one arm pushups with 10 reps per hand, thats a vast improvement but i think my technique is a little better as well
first set of lunges got 17 reps then 15 then 12

seems right but the thing is we dont know for sure. but there is much more potential energy when injesting 1000 calories more no? if eatin 1000 calories more your likely to do an extra 5 more sets no?

You got a hoe standing by counting the reps for you Johnny?

it would rip, i might have to link two back packs together or just get under the heavy barbell that il have to stack on a cynder block underneath the weight so i can get under it, and do pushups with the barbell on my back

duct tape is awesome !!!

Falcon you talk alot about calories. What is your daily food intake (list)? To maintain ~275 lbs I would think it would be quite high.
-
Remember Falcon, calories are not the only energy source availible. Caffine is a very good source of energy, and it's calorie free to boot ;D Remember man, if you consume too many calories then you will just get fatter.

Great innovation on the cynder block John Grimek used to workout with those looked pretty decent back in the day.

na ma man caffiene its a stimulant and can kill you, you dont know when your time will come when you get overly sensitive to it and you get dizzy spells and panic from it fuck that. it CONSTRICTS BLOOD FLOW anything that constricts like that is BAD NEWS MA MAN

maybe in the future but right now not conveinent enough. ill join a gym when i have remasterd my body and show everyone how its done on a massive scale of knowledge projection

i dont think my calories are nothing super high or rediculuous
a typical day
64 ounces of juice bout 1000 calories of juice
120 ounces of water
some walnuts and raisons 300-400 calories
beans and rice 2-3 servings 250 calories per serving
peanutbutter sandwiches maybe 2 or 3 maybe 350-400 calories a sandwich
32 ounces of more juice 500 calories
more water
so maybe 3500 calories a day or 4000 calories
i should keep better track though those sandwiches add up, but that doesnt mean i will reduce calories. i eat food as needed or when hungry
-
I know what you are saying on those PB sandwiches!! I rediscovered natural peanut butter a few years ago, and can't get enough of it now.

After notoriously doing lunges for a period of time last year I suddenly realized I had accidentally built up paramount sprinting abilities.
It was such notable I almost didn't want tell anyone in case I was planing to break the 100m sprint record sometime in the future.

To all Falcon asscoiate scientists. 8)

1) Smake what JohnnyFailcon smokes

yes when i played basketball last year after doing lunges pre game i would easily dart past everyone, i really felt great remorse for those who didnt have this knowledge

I'm not sure some of the women in your life would agree....

today im doing step ups with weights they seem to be much easier to do and you can add a good amount of weight but dont have to balance yourself as much as when doing lunges on the floor. stepping up onto 1.5 feet or 2 feet high is perfect leg workout
-

;D Rope, duct tape, cloth, ether......

Step-ups ain't bad Falcon, but me thinks dat lunges is better, son 8)

variation is good though
I like to take, for example lunges, as far as I can, then as soon as there is a peak, it's time to set forth on a new project. your body feels what it is, and then you maximize that till you peak and so forth.
building experience because you really focus and explore everything to the full.
you can later come back to what you did again, and next time you peak you are often better even thought it's been a long time,
you can sort of feel what your body want to do.

That's quite similar to what Louie Simmions from Westside Barbell says about 3 week mini-cycles and using this method to break through training plateaus, interesting.

No, it means you should get hit by a truck

Falcanomicon recommends one on each side

Exactly although finding hoes the same weight could be a task I'm sure he doesnt want one leg bigger than the other... 8)
