Amazing workout tonight. We don't have squat stands, we either have to use the smith machine or the squat machine (it's kinda like a squat sled). I've never tried to load it up I've just been taking my time. Soooooooooo...tonight just to find out where I am.

Nice job challenging yourself.
I really like squat machines, esepcially the ones like this where you can face either direction. A friend of mine has the one in your photo and a few gyms in our area have Bodymasters squat machines. I like them much better than the Hammer Strength V-Squat machine.

We've had this one for several months at the gym. I've just started getting real serious about my legs (and it shows). I use to powerlift when I was in my 20's and was able to squat a 325 and deadlift a 425 @ 165 lb class. I'd love to get back to those weights again. What's funny is when I did the 450 facing the backrest it didn't seem as heavy. Is that because of using different muscles or more muscles ?

Great workout. I got in and went straight to work.

I had a disagreement on another part of the website. I told I was old and incoherent, so I decided not to post for a while and cool off a bit. I'll post Thursdays workout in a little while. I've had a little while to cool off. I'll not put up with b.s.

Tonight was a satisfying workout. It was almost as good as sex. lol.

Must have been something in the air yesterday. I was called a hypocrite and a liar on another forum. The thread was so heavily modded due do this whiner who couldn't debate that I took issue with the mod's actions. Almost pulled my profile. Like you I have no patience for bs. Another mod talked me down.

[DUKE56]

I had considered pulling my profile, but I enjoy other parts of the site. So, I decided to chill out for a while. It seems totally unnecessary for all the wise guy attitudes. Alot of testoserone; seems like you could seperate it like a curtain sometimes.
I'm just here to read, and learn a few things, maybe make a friend or two. I'm planning on doing my first competition next summer.
By the way freebirdmac weren't you getting ready for a comp. not long ago ?

[Mac]

I see the same jerk that was giving me shit was in the thread you were in. Just ignore them buttheads.

Nice leg workout! Almost as good as sex, eh?

[freebirdmac]

No. I'm not interested in competing. I'd just like to look like I maybe could. Pretty far from that.

Thanks Mac, well close to sex anyway

Well it's good that you take care of yourself. Keep up the good work.
