Pump up the VOLUME!

Fast-paced training simply won't allow for heavy weights, will it?

Joel, you remember Devin Dearth? He's IFBB pro David Dearth's brother, and he competed in several Ky Muscle contests, including the one you won in 2003. He competed in my (middleweight) class.

You probably heard he suffered a massive stroke in 2007. Found out today a documentary about him will be released soon. Here's the info and a trailer if you're interested:

Yes, I do remember him. Tragic what happened, he was a tremendous competitor.

I'm definitely going to purchase this DVD. I feel so badly for him, it really makes you appreciate having good health and the ability to do the things in life that make you happy. We have nothing to complain about.

Tnx! These workouts are feeling great! Big change of pace for me, hopefully will payoff in some big gains!

Heavy Weights to be dieting Joel. Great Job. Just an observation. Lots of volume for quads but not very much for hammies. Is that a strong point for you?

Solid stuff! Great leg day. How is your body responding to your training? Is everything going as planned?

He is slacking, just on the hamstrings, like I did last week.

Nice workout Joel.

Great squat session, want try something deadly after that? do a widow set of 20

[mrky03]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yes I tend to slack on hams and no their not a strong point! I used to do a lot of stiff leg deads but my lower back has been giving some problems so I've not been doing them.

I looked at the Charles Glass video HammerFit posted, I'm going to take some que's from that for sure. Actually my hams are fried right now from doing the hyper extensions with a flat back right after the leg curls. But yes I do need to step it up in that area!

Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Don't let me slack off! lol

Sounds like a winner to me! I'll give it a go next time! Thanks!
