[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8659413, member: 7026594"] Aside from missing a week last month to being down with flu, I've continued apace. Got my deadlift PR up to 325 on May 29th. Doing most of my bicep work with 50lb dumbbells now and chest starting off with 55s, so definitely still seeing progress. I've continued the usual schedule- Sunday morning a 2 - 2.5hr full body session, and Tuesday and Thursdays after work doing an hour+ of mixed upper body- chest, back, arms and sometimes shoulders. Between deadlift and leg press I definitely give my legs a good workout on Sundays, but while I have a bit of disruption (especially the next day), I never seem to have any soreness, nor do I get the truly debilitated/can't walk feelings people talk about with heavy leg days. So I've been contemplating adding a second leg day for a while. Finally tried going in last night for a quick session of more leg press (I should probably add hams; I already add calf raises at the end of every leg press set), interspersed with a few sets of lateral raises. Yikes! :ROFLMAO: I definitely felt debilitated! The first time (at least in a long while) that I've felt real weakness and trouble walking. Stairs and even a bit of general ambulation are a little rough today, but I'm not really sore, so that's good. Sunday's leg portions were: Deadlift 225x10, 245x10, 275x6 +2 (grip fail; reset and breathe), 275x5 Leg press 408x12, 458x12, 508x6 +458x6 +408x10 (drop setting on the third set) Wednesday evening I did: Leg press 408x15, 458x12, 498x6 +458x6 +408x8 (drop sets on the third set) Oof. Assuming I don't actually injure myself, though, this seems like it will probably be productive in improving my legs faster. [/QUOTE]
