I can confirm that is the correct order!

This is a more accurate representation;

Staring, squats, leering, squats, ogling, squats, letching, leg press, leering, leg press, staring, leg press, leering, calf raises, staring, calf raises, ogling.

If you spent more time focusing on the job in hand, the blood would stay in your leg muscles where it's required and you'd not be worrying about your chicken legs.

You might be onto something there, I do have a massive cock so the blood supply to my legs may be compromised. Still, i'm not having a cock-ectomy just to get big legs, so I guess i'll just live with it

I'll go with that excuse for my skinny legs as well

First time doing muscle ups in six months tonight and did a 22.5kg weighted one. 1.27x body weight. Rotator cuff seems to be repaired so I'll ease back into the gymnastic stuff over the next few weeks.

How come you do squats and the leg press machine?

Hit the legs differently. Leg press does not replicate squats (and obviously vice versa), however you don't NEED to do either movement to build strong legs, but I would strongly suggest you do.

Desperation - I want to increase volume on my leg days, but I want to keep squats fairly heavy or I go backwards stength wise. Also high volume squats screw my recovery and effect my deadlift. Heavy deadlifts are the absolute core of my week - always the first thing I do on a monday session. Nothing can be allowed to fk with my deads :-)

[D1ngd0ng]

Morning 3.75k run

Circuit training. 30/10 split then 45/15 split. All stations double up with a core so 18 exercises a round.

T Press-up
Scary feet (footwork drill)
Squat jumps with 6.5kg medicine ball
Burpee with press-up (managed 8 in 30 secs then 7 in 45)
Treadmill/mountain climber
Bunny hops (sod that, just did step jumps)
Side lunge
Bench dips
Split squat

Cooled off throwing the medicine ball around (concentrating on throwing using the same movement as i would for a straight punch)

Weighted muscle ups - I am impressed.

Is that using a dip belt, and what are you doing with your legs during the transition? Would love to see a video. I had hoped to be doing them weighted but my elbow injury a few months ago has put me back 6 months

Thanks . No chance with an Iron Cross though.

Yes it's a leather dip belt with chain. Can't remember exactly but I'd guess they swing forward a bit. I'll get a video this weekend. Injuries are hell, especially joints. I was quite lucky in that I only had to stop rings and dips but could do everything else as normal.

Iron cross is probably a bit harder, but the progression is simpler so its easier to train. Slow going though, and the temptation to bend the elbows a bit to make it easier (cheating) is ever present!
