Appreciate it man.
I get so burnt out after those sets though, makes the rest of my workout a struggle.

I'm going back to the drawing board on my squat form. I feel like I should be squatting way heavier than I currently am.

Its weird after my workouts my muscle dont feel tight or sore anymore. It makes me feel like im not working hard enough, but when I try to pick something heavy up i know my muscle have been destroyed.

You dont need to feel DOMS or soreness after every workout. Its usually only the beginning when youre new to the exercise/movement you feel sore.

Man i love this thread. Thanks for this post.
I literally said the same thing like 2 days ago about not being as sore when i get done lifting. I keep thinking i need to try harder. But i am increasing weight or reps with most of my exercises.
Squatted yesterday. Felt ok about it. Didn't max but upped my reps a bit. 315lbs 5 reps. Then hit 335lbs 2 reps. Normally il only do 315lb twice then go 335lb once. But my max has been 345lb. I will shoot for that next Thursday on legs day i think.
Also met my calorie intake yesterday surprisingly. Had to eat 1.5 chicken breasts for dinner....but was happy i made it.

Dont worry fam. Just means your body is getting used to lifting

it's important to note that non-stick spray is only low in calories when u do a 1/4 second spray. dont submerge your food in non-stick spray. it'll be the same as using regular oil.

what do you guys consider "being sore"?? the video makes sense but i get sore all the time, like on heavy days. im not sore to the point where i cant move or feel pain when using that particular body part. i usually just feel a little tight when i try to stretch it.
like the other days i did arms, had a good bicep workout. the next day at work (i have to lift heavy things), i picked up a box and i could feel it in my biceps. nothing major, just felt that typical "sore" feeling.

Advice for someone with chicken legs? I do a push/pull/leg split. Leg day looks something like deadlifts or squats, lunges, extensions, calf raises. Not getting many results. I'm taller @ 6'3" so getting a full ROM doing squats is especially hard.

Squats are the best movement to train for lower body strength and mass. If you can't squat deep, fix your mobility. Strengthen the spinal erectors, stretch the hip flexors, adductors, and calves. Eventually building up the volume and intensity. When you can squat double bodyweight, your legs won't look like chicken legs anymore.
Add other movements for the posterior chain like back extensions (flat and incline), reverse hyperextension, various deadlifts(romanian, snatch grip, clean grip, etc.), and glute ham raises.
Drop the leg extensions. Do lunges(split squats) properly, as described in this article:

Just do squats the right way. Your height has nothing to do with it, and you're not even that tall.

Eh you're probably right. Probably just weak and need more core work. Just always assumed it would be easy for 5'9"> dudes with a lower center of gravity.

Single dumbell overhead flys (laying on bench) works on chest? My friend and I did it yesterday on chest day, it felt amazing, really nice stretch but I dont even know if thats for chest, didnt feel like it. My abs feel it today though.
iLL, nice work on those sumo's. You got huge bruh, any benefits on doing those types od DL over a traditional one? Sometimes my DL arent that great cause the way my legs are positioned, I can almost never get them right. That wide stance may help me?

Illest;
1. What type of blender is that. My blender is getting old, might need to invest in a new one
2. What are the numbers of your morning shake? Seems like a lot.
