A Southern Yankee's Winter Blast

Thanks for the suggestions. And your all right. I gotta pick one and specialize as my main mass builder. Barbell squats are very bad for my lower back. It seems the volume that gets me. Not so much the weight. I get the same issues with 20 rep squats at light weight as I do with 400+ lbs

There's a plate-loaded squat press machine at my gym that's much like a leg press but the motion is more like a squat than a linear leg press. I liked this machine as well.

I know what your talking about and we had one of those at my old gym in Alaska . They work great too . The point is if your having back problems , doing more bb squats might not be the best idea , at least for a month or two.

Plus you can build different parts of your legs untouched before .My teardrops are definitely bigger/stronger after hacksquats .

Heres our hacksquat machine (collage gym)....495x8 !

I did 405lbs (460lbs) x 3 reps on this brutal contraption (not bottomed out). I stay in the under 350 weights with this one...

Applebees is truly hit or miss on service but the food's reasonably decent up here where I am

What?!?!?!?!

You can order any size steak you want. No special charge as it's per oz they charge. Only condition is it cannot be a T bone as they must be shipped pre cut

My last b day I ordered a 38 oz cut. Big enough for you?

No shit!!? I'll ask the waitress next time, but I just order from menu. Never paid much mind to the hand cut option, but will next trip. I think 38oz would be just right. My last trip to longhorn last winter I shocked the crap out of our waitress. Got a 24oz steak(biggest they offered) added appetizer, broccoli and cheese, baked potato, and 9oz lobster tail. She laughed at me thinking I ordered too much, but she balked when ole lady offered to bet her I would eat it all. I ended up eating all that and finishing her steak lol.

 

[gr8whitetrukker]

To be honest 38 oz is overkill. That's 266 g protein. Can't imagine the body uses all that in one sitting. It was a BIG piece of meat that's for sure. Don't think I wanna do it again

Biggest swordfish steak I had was something like 22oz as it was thick...grilled to boot

your lower back is weak. you need to strengthen your lower back.

Haha it's broken. Im just hoping to preserve it here going forth

 

[HuckingFuge]

for real broken or just weak and causing you issues?

 

[Skull]

Not really...

This always comes to mind when anyone talks about a big steak. Pop quiz @Seven Dog do you remember just how big that slab of beef actually was?
