Hey guys The only reason I decided to do so was because I thought it will make them grow and also I dont get sore on legs and I wanted to push it a little further. I want the front quads to get big as well. What I usually do is: Front Squat Back Squat Leg Extensions Leg Curls After I do this for a m...

Front Squats vs Back Squats
Hi For the past few weeks I have been doing squatts twice per week. Recently I started switching routine, front squatts one day and on the next leg day I would do back squatts. Someone from the gym told me that for maximum growth I should do both (front and back) the same day. I did that but I wasnt...

Ok, I will increase the weight and I will try to get 3x6-8. I kind of thought that me doing 3x15 lighter weight was going to make me lose strenth but I needed to ask someone who knows more than I do. I have also been doing pyramid sets for few months now, should I keep on doing that or switch routin...

Switching routine
Hi everyone, I have been doing the pyramid sets for about 4-5 months now, I usually do 3 x 8-10. Yesterday I was told by a friend of mine that it would be good to switch routine and start what he called "foundation work". What he suggested was that I do 3-4 x 15 for about 3 weeks, then inc...

BossMan - As for over all growth, I have improved. I just wanted to create a better looking, more cut chest. Swanso5 - you are saying to only warm up with 4-5 reps? Another thing I tent to do is I focus more on incline, for some reason i think that it will work more on upper chest and give me the cu...

Chest not improving much
Hi again, Well this time I am writing about chest. It has grown but not as much as it should though, I mean I put alot of work and the results are not satisfying. There is still fat around chest. As far as routine goes this is what I do for chest: Barbell Exercises: Flat Bench 1x15-17 warm up 3x10-1...

Thats alot of info I didnt know. Would maybe 1 a week be good to do them? For legs this is what I do (Twice a week): Back Squatt - 4x10 ( I start with 50 lb on each side and add 5lb every time I start a new set) Leg Extensions - 4x10 (Add 10 lb every new set I start) Leg Curls - 4x10 Lunges - 3x12 (...

Leg Press??????????
Hi again,
I am writing this time because I have heard that leg press' are useless. I do them at least once a week (I usually work legs twice a week). I do squats both times.
I mean I am up to 12 plates (all together) and it took a long time to get there.
Am I wasting time with leg press' ?

Hi Swanso5, I will definitely add some or pasta in the future. When you say red meats: what does that include? sorry I am not sure. Also when you say single handed join exercises: what are they? Compound exercises: what are they? Also what did you mean by leave another day full of calories for growt...

Just to give you an idea of what I ate yesterday: 08:20 Protein shake (half water half milk) 0...

I have tried all the new exercises you guys suggested. It was a bit weird at first since I have never changed workout routine on arms before. I liked the new ones although it burnt alot at first. The thing that Sarah said about biceps. there is a guy in the gym I go to. He always does light weight (...
