    Default Esplendido's hobble to the Nationals

    Since everyone else is keeping a record, I'll do a little. Here's a pic from this morning. Weight = 272. Need to drop about 22lbs of this. Forgive the legs....but arthritis in the knees keeps me humble.

    actually, great job on bringing the legs back over the past two years! You know, my boxers don't seem do bad now...was that a twitch? gotta go.

    Thanks on first comment. LOL! on second!

    The legs are still small compared to the upper body, but they are lots better. As my waist comes down in size, they'll look better.

    Load them knees up with Synvisc....squat heavy and often. After you win the show you will be rich and famous and can aford new plastic ones.

    OR, get that waist down to a girlie 33" and make those puppies pop.

    I'm along for the ride.....

    I feel your pain with the leg situation. My Knees are shot as well, makes it real hard to train the lower body! GOOD LUCK!

    Had a GREAT arm workout yesterday. 4 weeks into the diet, zero carbs for 5 days a week, and the energy levels can be hinky. My cut cycle began a week ago Monday and I frontloaded with daily pinnings of 1CC sutaplex 325 and 1CC of trenaplex A 100. (yes, Baldie, that amounts to over 2g AAS in one week). The short esters in the sus have kicked in and my strength feels elevated. My endurance, however, is down and it takes about 30 seconds longer between sets to recoup.
    The next 2 days are off except for cardio. I'm doing 30 min/day at this point. I'm also going to work calves 5 days a week this time....just an experiment (suggested to me by big Louie this last weekend).

    This is what I did two years ago and my calves grew for the first time ever. I alternated between heavy and lighter high reps.

    Exactly what Ferrigno said to do. I asked how he improved his calves so much from the '92 Olympia to the '94 Masters Olympia and that's the protocol he used.
