How do you guys not understand you can be red in the face when flexing obviously my face looks very different relaxed
Brian,
You know good and damn well they weren't lampooning your BP there. A bloated chipmunk cheeked face, like yours, is the joke.
You're not quite as bad as Kamali yet, but for you to be ~8% bodyfat and walk around with Test and Dbol cheeks...*sigh*
Get another check-up, or at least admit you're bullshitting about what you're using.
I don't know why -- your ego and war against Wes are ridiculous and off-putting -- but part of me still roots for you to do well. That's why I say, in all sincerity, re-evaluate your priorities and methods.
You keep saying that what you're doing is working, but that's not evident. I don't know how you train exactly, but from the clips I've seen, you squatted 355 somewhat high*, SLDLed 275 for just a handful of reps, and did proper squats with 225 for...six? Eight, maybe?
*I will give you this: the 355 was not a quarter squat. However, in a powerlifting meet, you probably would have gotten two, and maybe three, red lights.
That seems to be part of the overall issue with you. Why try to squat 355 when a proper work set sees you using 225?
Moreover, are those "rep" sets indicative of what you typically do?
Skip regular squats for one weekly leg session and find a good hack squat machine or leg press. Do close stance reps, with heels elevated if need be, starting out with just the carriage for ten smooth CONTINUOUS reps. Add weight set after set until, on the very last set, you can't quite finish the ten.
Then, resting only at lockout just enough to eek out another rep or two at a time, keep going until you get at least 20.
In the other leg workout of the week, do a set of 135 lb. squats to failure rest-pause style. Next time, add 5 pounds to the bar and try to beat your previous rep count. Rinse and repeat.
Keep doing SLDL one day and leg curls on the other, just like the squats. One long, nasty high rep rest-pause "set" to failure.
If that's too much, train legs thrice in a two week period instead. You might also train calves first. Try Dante's style, emphasizing the stretched position for a few seconds per rep. Two sets of 15-20 rep toe raises like that on a leg press should get you going.
Go ahead and protest that you've trained for 25 years (so did I, from 13 to 38), I don't offer pics for a dick-swinging contest, don't know what I'm talking about, etc. I'm just trying to help you.
Take it or leave it, mate. God bless.
