Hack squats isolates the legs more unless you use barbells,hack squats target the lower quads, such as the vastus. Machines can't replace barbell or dumbbell exercises unless you are using them for rehab. This is just my experience leg press also don't require much stabilization there giving you a false sense of security. We use to leg press heavy all the time now we're slowly going away from the leg press unless we are doing low weight at high reps at the end of are workouts. Hope this helps ??
Indeed, it does set things clear for us.
Typical leg day for myself.
Front squats 135-185lb 5sets 10reps
Walking lunges 45lbs each hand
4 walks 15-20steps
Leg curls heavy 4 sets 10-12 reps
Single leg curls 2 sets 10reps each leg
Leg extentions, heavy, 4 sets 10-12reps
Single leg extentions 2sets 10rep
Then calf raises.
What would you change?
i agree. I've found leg presses to be a waste of time, unless I'm using light weight and hitting around the 25 rep range. I think people just do them for ego because you can put a lot of weight on the machine.
Is this you or a buddy? Guessing it's you, and if so, where the hell do you buy your jeans?! I have a hard time finding jeans that are loose in the upper leg, and my quads are NO WHERE NEAR that size. In short, I just want to know where to buy jeans that fit my waist, but that I can still fit my wallet/phone into my front pockets without them bulging out? Old navy "loose" cut aint cuttin it...
For real though, fucking beast. Also gonna try the coke thing. I haven't had a soda in forever +1
Lifechanging. I may have to grow into them since I have a long ways to go before I'm at your status (or at least hopefully close to it), but life changing none-the-less.
Fuckin A. Thanks brother. Goals are in definitely (finally) honed in and in check. But the rogue jeans have just been added to the short list. That's for sure. Just goes to show you can always add to your goals lol.
While I truly do like this member who has gone by pmob, Richard simmons ext... it blows my mind how new guys come on and post pics every other day then get bashed for it and warned. Yet he has been banned multiple times and has gained 63 karma points in about two weeks... all from pics. Da fuck?
When it comes to knowledge pmob is is as good as they come . Since he came back he has been in cycle logs , forums etc. scroll to the bottom of the page where we had a conversation about insulin levels getting spiked with a Coke . Dude has a wealth of knowledge
I agree and the past is the past. We all fucked up sometime or another me included. He has alot of knowledge and by all means he doesn't have to share any of it but he chooses to do so and more than willing to listen to what he has to say and there are some other new members here as well that have good knowledge I have seen and are active also.
Anyone that is active and comment on forums and etc I'm listening hell I learn shit here ed.
And he also had over 1700 that I personally took from him and deleted his old account. Some would say I went overboard too. So what? Pmob has been doing great since he came back and I have personally been witnessing him helping people. What are you doing?
Let me also add he had a PRO tag as well. He is one of but a few to have earned that tag.
So what is unfair? He has two pics up. Not four, not a dozen. And if you must know he personally messaged me first before posting this one. Now let us worry about the rules and you worry about you.
Im a dumbass. Who doesn't get out much. I still have to look up most of the abbreviations that everybody uses. I remember not to long ago asking somebody what the hell LOL was....LOL.
Good advice thanks, I've been told about consuming sugar preworkout awhile ago but haven't heard it in awhile.I learned to lift from my gramps and he says go 10-15 and heavy on the last sets.progressive overload. Its working for me im alot heavier than I used to be but still got aways to ago. Anyways thanks for sharing cause its easy to get complacent and helps me as a reminder. Looking massive +1
Not to much, remember your body can only consume so much Aminos. So if you chug a lot of protein along with Aminos your body is just going to waste them. This is why you see guys eating 6-7 meals aday waking up all hours of the night consuming foods.
Nice pic, Sir
thanks for the knowledge much appreciated. +1
TronA well deserved +2 bro and I'm glad you're back to share your knowledge with the community
Do we get the same benefits from hack squat or leg press as you would squats. +2
Also I feel front squats working much better than box squats.

Brother we have all been there no worries hope it gets better for you

Nada, just think fair should be fair. If a rule stands for one, why not for all?
Yes guys knowledgeable for sure with a great physique. Just saying.
So what is unfair? He has two pics up. Not four, not a dozen. And if you must know he personally messaged me first before posting this one. Now let us worry about the rules and you worry about you.
Fair enough.
I am debating giving him back enough karma to at least have an ADV tag. That would get some tears flowing huh?
He is being a good boy and playing nice.
Ugh.. it was a comment. Not looking to argue.
Great stuff.
You are a big mofo, bro. But you already.....know? LOL.
I wondered when you'd come back. Very knowledgeable guy.
Wtf all them big fancy ass words. I pick stuff up and put it down. :-)
Well did you shave your legs for this or not????
I thought you were wearing Jorts for a minute and was gonna neg you,lol.
Seriously tho, them are impressive quads. Ace is ghey for you.
Ok, you got me. What in the heck are Jorts???
Jean-shorts=Jorts

Mr Simmons can I snort my coke instead of drinking it or does that not have the same effect?
Richard.SimmonsNo Nose candy and other drugs will not work well, Just ask Big D !!
Ya definitely don't want to ask him lol
that would give u one hell of a prework out LMAO
When I snort my coke it sure ramps me up for my workouts. I'm just curious which ways more affective to bring up insulin levels.
Thick fucking thighs man, shit! How many inches are they sitting at? +1
Will try the pre-work out coke, thanks.

Richard.SimmonsThank you for reading.
so if you had to guess how in advance would you drink that coke and when do you think your levels will spike ? about 45 min into your workout?
Richard.SimmonsYes you are correct 45mins-1hr, your levels can last up to 2hrs or longer.
So prob be a good idea to down some protein mud work out and aminos to get the full bennifit from the levels being elavated ?
Richard.SimmonsNot to much, remember your body can only consume so much Aminos. So if you chug a lot of protein along with Aminos your body is just going to waste them. This is why you see guys eating 6-7 meals aday waking up all hours of the night consuming foods.
Good information right there .. Just bits of info I had forgotten
