yeah, im one of the people who have problems bringing in my glutes and hamstring during heavy lifts

my quads take over :/

u should try low bar squats and go as low as you can. it will fix you in a few weeks

ive been doing low bar for over a year now

I'm guessing my order is still waiting to be shipped from bb. Says manifested for outbound transportation

took 2 weeks off from squats and deadlifts cause I pulled something in my hip or something (lower left side)

Did some squats today, and burpies. and then I think i tore something in my chest doing burpies hahhaa.

I like to watch :ifyouknow:

jk, I just don't want anybody here to know what a skinny fuark I am. :okay:

Was flipping through old pics and found a pic of the bar when I deadlifted 395 just before Christmas. Made no gains this Jan, tweaked back one day and have been having trouble pushing past 320 :okay:

God damn your lats are huge from the photo in your avatar haha

Alright alright almost time to train legs again here :D

(Heavy deadlift day)
Barbell Deadlift
Barbell Front Squat
Hamstring curl
Leg extension
Leg press calf raise

do you guys lift every set to failure?

did a bit of research and this seems to be a debate.

what do you guys think?

tbh, i don't see much of a debate about it at all

If you go to failure, there's a good chance you will get some soreness in that bodypart a day or two later so don't expect to workout that same part the day after. In my honest opinion, speaking for what has worked for me, can't say much for others, it is best for hypertrophy and muscle growth because when you're going to failure, you're able to push your muscle to its limit, and you're able to utilize a wider spectrumm of fibers in the process. How the fuck is it going to grow if you don't go to failure? Your muscle doesn't break itself down, YOU break IT. Most have it written down on the books as it being the best for hypertrophy, but I guess in the end, not everyone will feel the same way.

If you don't go to failure, you could probably hit that bodypart 2+ times a week and have the adequate rest you need to recover. Again, my opinion, and what has worked for me, but this will cater more towards strength gains, just because you're able to work on the bodypart for a higher frequency during the week because you're not overly taxing the muscle to the point where glycogen is depleted. This has been the premise of strength gain programs like smolov. If you go to failure for each set, the muscle just won't have enough energy to push itself for higher intensities each and every set. I did sets of heavy singles and doubles when I was testing for 1RM, and was able to get higher up in my bench. Working sets were around 5-6 at an intensity much lower than 1RM.

It's really only a debate because people feel there should be a correct or accurate way to obtain a goal, but it's not always going to work. Mix up the reps,sets, rest, frequency of exercise during the week, have both hypertrophy and strength rep schemes and you're good to go. It's not rocket science and i'm sure most of us here know that already :ifyouknow:

compounds: never lift till complete muscle failure. its a bad idea cuz youll fry your cns and your next coupla workouts will suck

isolation: have at er

wanted to share a quick metabolic/conditioning workout you guys can do after your workouts and for the fellow sc people here's your chance to put the turf to use.

Perform 10 BW squats, followed by 10 burpee broad jumps. Try for at least 4 rounds with minimal rest

Cant wait to finish my last few workouts of smolov. Almost done :D
