Who is our biggest, most shredded member at Meso?

[fodsod]

I do the same thing... I split mine up several years ago. That's when I really started making good progress on my legs. When you train hams or quads for nearly 2 hours, there's nothing left in the tank for the opposing side... Plus they both get indirect work on quad and ham day.

I honestly don't know how anyone has it in them to do a legit quad and ham workout all in one session. I go in and go balls to the wall for 1-1 1/2 hours tops. 2-2 1/2 minutes rest between sets typically in the "off season" and I'm toast by the end of that. That only really allows for one or the other (quads or hams) with me. Then again, I'm old and tired.

I tend to agree, same with back, honestly... It's such a challenge to hit every muscle in your back with the proper intensity/volume in one day... This is why back and legs get a 2x a week beating from me.

As an example, one day will be quad focused, mostly training to failure on quad stuff... Sprinkled in some light hammy and glute work. In 4 days I'll reverse with heavy hammy and glute work, with some quad "pump" work thrown in (pump is around 3-4 sets of 12 or so reps, maybe an RPE of 8.)

Im not a leg press advocate at all but some days the lower back just isnt gonna hack it and you gotta take up that B exercise

That's the same way I'm training right now.

I hit back on Mondays (pulls and rows) and again on Friday( upper back, high pulls) with biceps:

Hams on Wednesday, quads on Saturday

Alright guys....

Well....


We did it!!

1st place novice class b - 1st place novice overall - 1st place open class b - 1st place open overall...

I can’t explain enough how thankful I am it’s like it hasn’t set in yet and idk it just seemed to crazy too fast. I met a lot of great guys and great people, and was told a lot of good advice and encouragement from some people I was not expected to talk to. I’m just kind of in shock! only got one picture for now But I’ll get the album tomorrow I think!!

Thanks for all the support guys!! Let’s see what next year can bring in a full year off season!!

Sounds like someone is training 6 days a week like myself. I take 1 day off either during the week or a weekend day but without doing a 2 a day split for something (no thanks) I’m stuck with training 6 days a week. The things we do to appease our narcissistic egos. Lol.

Looks like a action double for the movie The 300

I haven't been very active, but I did want to share my progress. Especially for the guys just getting started. This is my 4th cycle and I am working with someone for my first prep. The drugs are somewhat moderate from what I expected, but I also started this prep at a much higher BF than I wanted too.

First I listened to someone on this board say stop worrying about keeping your abs when bulking, just start eating and putting on mass. WRONG! Now my belief is you can keep some abs and they will be soft but no reason to let them become covered in fat. Just my new opinion from here on out. I am going to try to keep them on my next bulk.

On my previous cycle from this one I got up to 214 at 5'6" but it was a dirty 214(as you can see) This was the heaviest I have ever been, and I was hoping I put on 10+ pounds of lean muscle... truth be told I think I put 6-7 lbs on in the last 9 months. I'm not upset, but a bit disappointed.

Either way I am stoked to compete in my first show in about 6 weeks. Most of these photos are from the 8 week out mark. I still have a decent amount of fat to peel off but it is melting off as of now, and I am not using any T3 or clen. Just a CLEAN SOLID diet, and cardio. I think we will start the clen this coming week and T3 not long after.

The cycle as been pretty close to this:
GH 3 ius am and 3 ius pm ED
500mgs Sust
100mgs Prop EOD
100 mgs Tren A EOD w/2 week break @ week 10-9
400mgs EQ
400 mgs Deca weeks 16-10
30 mgs Var ED
25 mgs Adol ED w/break at week 10
ECA stack every morning

I know my first show is going to be me dropping fat all the way up until the show, but I refuse to ever put that much fat on in a bulk again. Thanks Meso for all the motivation especially on this thread. I love seeing vets and newbies working towards their goals.

Be Good[emoji1377]
