Mini Forklift Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 That truly looks like a demonic leg workout mate, far out man! How did the front squats feel after all of the sets that came before them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks man. The front squats are something I like to do to hit my core and my quads more than just back squats. I tend just hit 135, 185 and 225 until I'm dead. They felt alright, I know go for anything big on them, just a little punishment (bonus) to the legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesxvx Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Squats November 27, 2012. Before I list my workout, I think I've been at the gym for four days straight today. It definitely shows. Squats I could hit for 4 reps seemed heavy, I felt a click in my knee on my dropset. I'll be taking a much deserved couple of rest days to give my body some time to breathe.

I'm more vascular and I know a lot of the shedded weight was water from creatine. I'm going to eat normally and not wear myself down from caloric depletion and see where I keep going towards.

vegan_rossco Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Did you notice any improvements when taking the creatine? I've been 'loading' with it for a littlw while but taking just 5g now twice a day, if I have improved using it then its not by much but the water weight is weird ahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallCanz Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 How much are you weighing? Deadlift and pressing are looking pretty damn strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I noticed a difference with creatine on some days. At least for me it was advantageous, but I tacked on a lot fo water weight and lost some definition. For the amount I was taking it didn't make sense. I just started and remained taking 5g a day, either after workout on my gym days and in the morning on rest days. Right now I'm sitting steady at 175 lbs.

On my handoff, I lost a lot of grip strength and ended up pretty much executing a guillotine press and needing my spotter. My second rep was better and my third I crushed out to what I think was just my rep. Either way, Its still a lift and I know what not to do.

So I was battling through nausea and dizziness and didn't clue in that it was diabetes related until after my workout. I definitely could have pulled 425 for 3 at least.

jamesxvx Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks MF. Not my best, but I've been diabetic 13 years now, and I still have my off days, and that day was one of them.

My arms were dead. After hitting 235 on the bench, I've joined the 1000 lb club, which is awesome news for my total. It just shows that hard work and consistency pay off.
