Hey MD2000

Workout and diet look good.:thumbup:

Might I suggest some hack squats in addition to regular. I added these mtself yesterday and my Quads are torn up. Felt great.

BTW welcome to journal land and :spam:

[midee1]

Geez I also need to read thru my post for spelling errors before posting don't I:D

[MD2000]

Thanks for the response..I've actually been thinking about getting rid of the lunges all together..I've never had any good experience with em so I was thinking of replacing them with another quad excercise..you reccomend hack squats? What about 45 degree leg press?

Boo to that! I'm a fan of barbell lunges. I like doing them light as a warmup to squats, or if I have a spotter I like doing them heavy after squats. But thats only my opinion. Good luck with the journal! :spam:

I actually do both hacks and 45 leg presses along with regular squats, SLDL, leg curls, leg extensions and seated calf raises. I'm trying to recover from back injuries. So far all the work i'm doing with my legs have helped.

I have similar problems. The edit function can be quite helpful. I probably edit nearly half of my posts.

Some quad exercises are listed at http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ThighWt.html#anchor172012 . I like lunges, but I also think a combination of squats with heavy machines can work well.

JESUS..I did the lunges and they absolutely tore my quads apart..I can't even walk today..good stuff

[MD2000]

This week has basically been a test run..I've made a few changes..such as moving deadlifts to back days and adding leg curls..also changed to only one set of shrugs. Changed my biceps as well..got rid of concentration curls and instead I'm doing 21's
