Aware me on these "halos" you speak of lol.

Thanks for the other suggestions though; I used to do all those and for some reason I just stopped. 


I prefer doing them with a weight plate. Make sure to tighten yours abs and gluten to work in your core as well.

from Livestrong:
 [h2]How Much is Enough[/h2]
When adding halos to your workout, add them in time increments instead of counting the repetitions. Combine the halos with other kettlebell moves or add them into your existing exercise regimen. Shoot for one minute rotating clockwise and one minute rotating counterclockwise, although you might have to work up to a full minute in each direction. Do halos at least three times per week, or more if you desire.
I was doing reps rather than time increments, but time makes more sense.
 
Just wanted to know what you like with breakfast, thats all.


Can you still bench 4 burgers?
:lol:

I haven't really maxed out benching in a while I've just been chilling doing around 350 for reps while I've been cutting lately. Might do a mock meet soon now that you reminded me.

What you doing now post meet... cutting? Or still on the strength train?

Are you the never takes off his jersey/tank at the pool guy?

Do you have sex with a wife beater?

probably.

Unless you are a competitive power lifter/strong man, you have no excuse to be that huge. Unless you want a career as a bouncer/bodyguard. That works too, but you have to shave your head and develop the pack of weiners in the back of your head look.
this guy goes on the defensive with every post

I am trying to clean up my diet though, add more fruits and veggies take out some sweets. I want that 4 burger bench so bad man. Also trying to squat and DL 600 by the end of the year.
 
In 2014 my diet was the worst. I weighed in at 250 in January and just buy me leaving sodas alone and working out I dropped almost 10 pounds in a month and a half. I started eating better and kept working out. I made a goal to be at 200 by November. I weighed in this morning and I'm at 210 . Being consistent is about to crush my goal.
 
recently started working out again & after my 3rd week of doing leg day my knees were super swollen & i could barely walk,not to mention i work on my feet 4 days a week any advice on what i can do to avoid this issue? thanx in advance
 
start warming up a bit more, go lighter on the weight (if you haven't already)




@Sauvement.
You said you substituted back squats for front squats in the Phat Program right?


im starting to get a bit knee soreness myself and I've already hit my PR on Squat so I was going to rest from squat myself. but my front squat is terrible. any others aside from leg press or vsquat (machine)

Goblet squats. I suck at front squats too but goblets keep the weight in front of you and feel pretty natural to me. Obviously done with far less weight but still a good exercise imo.

just on my leg Hypertrophy days... power day I still back squat.

The hack squat machine they have at some gyms is pretty good... zerchers are good too (leave your ego at the door).

Goblets aren't actually that bad either but I only do them as finishers (15-20 rep range).

what exercises are you doing on legs days and what kind of form/range of motion are you employing?
 
I warmed up with the goblet squats thanks for the tip jkitty.

I did leg press instead of squat..
First leg day in a while where these legs got just as much work without my lower back feeli g a pinch and needing to be foamed rolled out.
 
What other cool names for plates are there besides burgers? I want to sound in the know when I'm at the gym. Ahead of the curve.

Coins? Vertaplates? Teacup Saucers? Iron Donuts?

i start with 20 mins on the stair master as my cardio & warm up then 50 deadlifts (115lbs),50 back squats(120lbs),40 goblet squats(60lbs),60 leg extensions,65 hamstring curls,& i finish up with 70 calf shrugs

i believe im using proper motion & form cause i get all my info from trainers & you tube vids
