damn, its been a while since I've read your thread.  your lifts are just plain amazing, I'm trying my best to get my squat to 500, I cant even imagine what 825 would feel like on my shoulders.  hell I doubt I could even unrack that shit.  good luck on your recovery, hope it doesnt put you too far back.

I do hang cleans instead of power cleans now.  I am just starting them again after not doing them for a few years.  yesterday I did 3 sets of 5 at 205, then did as many as I could the last set at the same weight, got to 8 reps.  I should be going to 3 sets of 8 for 205 next week, and want to get to 3 sets of 12 aat 225.  for a max single power clean i could prolly still get about 270-280.  in highschool I could do 290, I'm stronger now but am having to retrain my muscles to be explosive instead of slow and controlled.  since i do hang cleans I add them to my shoulder day.  and there is a days rest between shoulder and back day.  if I were to do power cleans again I would add them to back day.  I would set it up so that I did a warm up, then 2 heavy sets of power clean, then do 2-3 heavy sets of deadlifts.  the explosive lift should help you get heavier weights on deadlift too, I've read in a few places that warming up with explosive workouts help you go heavier on heavy lifts.  though my internet is too slow to try and dig any of the articles up.

hope this helped.

sorry guys, I'd be down to try this with you all, but I'll be headed back home in a little over a month and a half, and it will take another months and a half to get home.  access to a gym is going to be sparatic, and I will have constant changing of equipment due to different gyms at different fobs and bases.

If you ever do it again i'll be down for it.

note the  , sarcasm is just never as fun on the internet.

when i do that my hair is usually shorter then my beard, or the same length, both is very short, and i have a little more of a soul patch with it.  like i said, i do it cause i like it, but i have been complimented on it when i do get to grow it.


lol at teen quaker look

WOW, she is very beautiful..



dude BIG MAL, don't take this the wrong way, your sis is a beautiful girl too, she has a very nice look.

 

someone else doing squats!!!

sideburns connecting to a gotee, usually kinda thin and kept short, and without a mustache.

well i'll throw in my .02.

i think i look better with a few days growth, it shows the shadows of the curves in my cheeks and jawline.  when i have the time i love having a chin strap, and most people tell me i look better with it, bu ti just like having it.  i'm scruffy alot or at least have 2-4 day stubble alot cause i hate shaving, so when i dont have to i dont.

  also, it seperates you from the desk jockys, half of those little bitches cant even grow facial hair.

this would not be a good look on Greg... to much chest hair, and though i dont have a huge V taper, i have enough to make that look funny.

F**K YOU DIV!!!


 

I get what you mean though, I have my own style and stick to it.  I can be at home and comfortable in one of my favorite beat up T's and jeans with work boots, or in my class A's.

my usual attire is, well, right now dirty ACU's, but at home is a polo or button up shirt and ancore blue(sp?) jeans with a pair of nice boots.  the only time i have shorts on is to swim, and run, and sandals to shower here or at my gym.

okay, we talked our squad leader into doing one day of 30-60's or windsprints, the other 2 days of running will consist of 5-10k runs, 5k done pretty hard( for me hard is pretty slow right now) but we will be running harder each week so it wont get easy for a while, we should only be doing the 10k once or twice a month wich made me happy, originally it was going to be once a week.  the three days are mon,weds,fry and tues,thurs,sat are gym days.  i'm trying to get these guys to do legs but they are all bitches and think running is good enough for legs, also i'm having to babysit them in the gym cause they like to ego-lift with a ton of weight and 1/3 reps and claim it as a lift .  i'm in charge of the gym workouts in the morning but have decided to do 2-a-days on lifting days cause i have done well with them before.  we will be doing sprints on weds i think, i think the best days to lift for legs will be weds-fri or weds-sat but if the sprints are good enough i might just leave them at that.

what do you think?

sounds good, i'll make friday leg day, gives me 2 days rest before running again.  i'm pretty irritated about this setup, i know leg growth is killed by  running 

okay, for quite some time now i have been trying to get some size on my legs.  they have been growiing slowly but i have to start running pretty hard 3 times a week.  I had planned on doing high volume leg workouts twice a week but wuth this new schedule i was thinking what i could do so that my legs wouldnt be dead when it was time to run. 

what i have been thinking is doing a light leg workout 2 times a week after i run, then doing a hard workout once a week when i will have 2 days to recover.  just wanted to see what all you guys thought about it or if you had any ideas.
thanks

Greg

MCWAY, you quite using that common whats-ama-thing, these guys wont understand

thats sounds painful...

i'll give it a try in a few weeks   

i like to go back and forth, i did sets of 15 for squats today and sets of 20 on leg press, whe i got done i felt like i just got done sprinting up a hill, not so much lifted weight.  but the pump from it was awsome.  i usually dont go above sets of 12 but the more i have been reading and talking to people i started doing 15s and 20s.  i am a big fan of the 5x5 and 4x6 set ups but have never gained much size on legs with it.

any new progress?  i need some competition, dont think i'll make 405, but 380-390 is a strog possibility before the end of the year, hoping for 365 next week, i'm pretty sure i'll be able to hit it. i know i can hit at least 355, not bad since i was doing 315 when this thread started.

i'm doing a bench comp(just in my gym) in one week, should i hit chest tomorrow or the next day or just not touch it till then?  i have been doing 5x5 for a while and last chest day(3days ago) i did 1 8, 2 5s and 2 3s, to get back to handling heavier weights.

any opinions on what if anything i should do?

i'll be taking the day before, maybe 2 days completely off before it.

^lost?

^what he said

there are so many different clothes and styles and what not i just want to know what you girls like.  also if you have a favorite thing or style a guy wears that you find appealing or sexy.  and last but not least for guys who have broad shoulders and a bigger build(muscle not fat) do you think they look better in snug clothes or somewhat loose fitting clothes?

opinions and examples(pics) are all welcome.

greg

i dont want to argue with you people any more, this thread is about opinions and a discussion, argueing with someone who is warping what i say like the stupid extreamist who warped Gods word for crusades and the kuran for the current jihad.  you can twist things into whatever you like just by "translating" them into your own veiws or adding to what has been said.  either way they are half truths at best, and mostly end up being just pain wrong.

you didnt aswer my question just like i knew you wouldn't be able to. 

there isnt a good answer for that kind of shit, which is what i was trying to show you, but is a mercy kill really worse then leaving the innocent to suffer and die?  it's fucked up i know, and i dont know if i could do it in all honesty, but who are you to judge the ones who are put in that position?

you can have fun telling me how wrong i am. but your judgement means nothing to me, you are just another fake name on the internet.  i'm sure thats all i am to you, but maybe you'll figure out just how little your opinion means to me since i know mine means so little to you.
