You front squat more than you squat? That's odd isn't it? Though, I've never front squated before.

I do it first so thats probably why. I like it better as well because i feel my lower back really kicks in to help push it up.

nice job leafy ...you are symetric but question for you mr " I'm natural "  ....how' bout them bitch tits ?

[Harry Spotter]

These pics were taken today. I think its a fairly good improvement over my previous 180 from june. I look a little harder and more filled out. I still have some tanner that hasn't washed off yet. I now weigh anywhere from 182-188.

Bone structure and overall shape is reminiscent of a young Arnold.

Having gyno is not always a direct result of taking gear. I have gyno, but i am natural. It is actually quite common in teens/young guys...

OK... Today was a good day. I did legs today and split hams and quads into 2 work outs.

Squat 300 x 6

Front Squat 300 x 4

Thats a 25 pound gain on back squat and 10 on front. Im getting to the point where im starting to stall out and will have to go up by 5 pound increments from week to week now but back squat was so easy i might try 325 next time. My goal this year for legs is to basically break 400 pounds on squat. I think i might be able to get up to 350 fairly quickly. Id like to see my front squat at 350 for reps as well. Today i also did 255 x 8 on front squats with ease. Im getting stronger and it feels pretty good. I feel great and my weight is starting to up a little. When i went to the doctor yesterday i weighed 190 but i think im more or less a legitimate 182 or so. My calories are still at about 4-5k and im eating pretty much all clean and im not having a problem either. No force feeding! Its fantastic. I usually have a lean beef hamburger every day and then when i train big muscle groups ill eat a whole pizza. I also eat alot of cous cous, fish, and i get alot of egg whites. I find that drinking my eggwhites is alot easier then cooking them and eating them. They taste like milk so its great! More updates to come!!

Damn good squatting for your BW, leafy.

Damn good squatting for your BW, leafy.

Thanks. I think its important though to remember that i don't lift heavy to be strong or impress anyone but i lift heavy because that is what you have to do to get muscle growth and density. My form may not be perfect but i try. I go until my hams and calves touch. I notice the heavier i go the faster i go. It is kind of strange actually because i always thought it was reps and hypertrophy but whenever i did the high volume work outs i didn't get much out of them. I try to get in and out of the gym in 45 mins. Heavy weight, low sets, and low reps.

leafy can you dunk a 10 foot goal since you are so lean?

Im not that lean anymore... I've never been a good jumper. I came close though when i was like 140 in highschool.

[nycbull]

you got old man legs....need to work those hams,,,,its the first muscle to deteriorate in old men....looks like your about 80

[Tapeworm]

Your face is aging fast.  You sleeping enough?  Good progress tho.

[nycbull]

I already covered this with Dave.  Not gonna happen.  I've never made any big claims so I shouldn't be on the most wanted list anyway.

I give Leafy props.  He's made excellent progress.  However, he looks like he's ageing fast.

I usually just don't think about it and go into the gym and have fun. I change things up every now and then and sometimes i keep the same routine for months. Yesterday for legs i did

Front Squats: 4 sets of about 6-10 (counting the warm ups).
Squats: 3 sets of 6
Single leg legpress: 2 sets of 6
Leg extensions: 2 sets of 15 and then on the last set i did a drop set from 260 down to 135
Then i do all the girl hip and thigh abductor machines for 2 sets with the whole stack.

Today I'm going to do delts and i might be in there again to screw around if i have the energy. Ill probably do

DB shoulder press: 4 sets of 100 X 12 and then drop it down and as i go lighter turn them into Arnold presses. Our gym goes no higher than 100lb dbs so i have to improvise
Barbell shoulder press: 2 sets of 6
Side laterals: 2 sets of 12 and i usually do a drop on both sets
Then i usually go over to a machine and do negatives with the whole stack and work on exploding up. 5 reps with 5 sec negs, 3 reps with 3 set negs, then 5 quick reps.

This is just an example of the kind of stuff i do. I try to have fun when i go to the gym.

whats your protein, carb, fat intake like on a daily basis?

[The_Leafy_Bug]

I don't keep track of carbs. It is the off season after all  . My protein right now is about 300-350 grams and i try to keep my fat under 70 grams a day, however, i do not keep track of it strictly. Everything i eat is lean and fat free so I'm getting trace amounts from my carb sources and lean meats. I only eat meat about twice a day as well because i don't think its healthy to eat a lot of it. Whey makes up for a lot of my protein sources as well as egg whites. I drink much of my calories so it is very easy to get a lot of calories.
