dam thats sick bro! I'm mirrin'! What're your routines like?
Haha thanks buddy. Here's what I've been doing for the past month. To start with, I've been doing so many squats that you wouldn't even believe it. Every day was leg day and something else; like shoulders, chest or back. I had to neglect my deadlifts for the time being due to my absolute lack of energy, but luckily my lift didn't decrease because I perform squats with a wide stance. After that, I rested my legs for a week and then I came back to them today. Somehow, I did ~9 sets of 8-12 reps and it felt like nothing. When I exit the gym, I felt barely fatigued - sorta like I'd just been gentle jogging for a straight hour.
So now I'm right back to training chest, then legs, then shoulders, then back and repeat. I put in bicep and tricep work usually on shoulders/back day respectively. My forearms are the result of good forearm genetics + incessant deadlifting in the past. I don't really train them directly.
For shoulders, which I consider a strong point, this is my usual routine:
WARM-UP: 30kg or 32.5kg per hand, depending on energy levels for 5-8 reps
WARM-UP: 35kg for 5-8 reps
WARM-UP: 37.5kg for 3-5 reps
MAX: 40kg for 3-5 reps
Afterwards, I perform anterior and lateral raises with a moderate weight for about 30 reps each arm.
For my back, I prioritise deadlifts. I also make sure I fit in some barbell and dumbbell rows (which I perform alternately) and lat pulldowns.
For my legs, I do squats and lots of them, calf raises and inclined tread-milling. Sometimes I also do leg extensions and leg curls. I will get around to doing front squats when I perfect the form.
Now able to pull six reps of 210 on a pec dec and three reps of 480 on a leg press
The second time I used a pec dec I think I did like 220 for three reps. It felt quite light, surprisingly.
