i go heavy and ass to ground... on leg presses i go knees to my chest... i think im gonna lay off them for  a while. ill get boners when i train legs. my buddy said thats due to back injuries, hitting some nerve

Yeah prob herniated a disc or two with those deep leg presses, they're probably the worst thing you can do for the lower back. Radiculopathy means some degree of nerve impingement so you need to reevaluate your leg work.

I have 4 blown discs and only do one leg leg presses ONLY on a horizontal machine.

Squats may be ok if you can do them with absolute control and zero buttwink.

leg press is safe if you hold the back very tight

this means you have a pretty short ROM


common sense really you brain farts

Good stuff - amazing to think that he's got to learn to do all over again what we take for granted.

How did he get his spinal cord injury?

it was probably uncontrolled very high blood pressure  (from high dose steroids) which lead to his aortic dissection tearing.

why is he still using steroids?

clearly he is on them in this video

he is obviosuly retarded and addicted to steroids to be still using steroids after what medical problems he's been through

I'm inspired by Chris's dedication to getting better and revolted by his continued abuse of Gear in the face of health problems.  The weird thing is that both behaviors have the same source, persistence in the face of all indications that what you're doing isn't working.

On another note, I'm not convinced that he is doing anything for his legs here.  It looks like the entire workout the legs are just being dragged along.  I hope I'm wrong but I don't see any indication of leg movement.

He was lucky to be alive after his first heart issues which nearly killed him....then carries on. It's sad that some people juts can't give up the muscle addiction for the sake of walking and being alive relatively healthy. He just went straight back on steroids and the bb lifestyle and was on stage bearing the scars of an opened up rib cage.

Another DA in the making, swap kidneys for heart.

I agree, to a point.


As some of you know, I've been working with a Bodybuilding Legend who is going through the same thing. It's obviously going to be an individual decision based on your particular problem.

How many of us know someone who was told they would never walk again by their doctors and yet that person has been motivated to bust their ass for however long it takes... and walk again.

Now, you could say the doctor was being honest, ignorant or using reverse-psychology.

In this instance with Chris' heart problems, I can tell you with 100% clarity that raising his heart rate against an anabolic load of resistance is going to cause problems. This is not his first time, nor is it his second.

Great. The man won't give up, but at what cost? He has more people to consider than just himself.


Like the great Clint Eastwood said: "A man's got to know his limitations'


I say, wise up, swallow your pride, accept the fact that your competitive days are over. Have a talk with a good friend of mine, Mike Matarazzo.

Wise up. Live a little.


My opinion. Never gonna be everyone else's ~

Great recovery.
Maybe it's the oil he still injects in his arms that is helping in his recovery.
