You might not have the position quite right on the lying leg curl. If it still sucks, try doing a standing leg curl if they have one.
The best ham move in my opinion is good mornings or SLDL.

Carbs are okay, but you'll probably want to eat a little more protein and or fat - those cals don't look very high to me. They're basically my maintenance calories.

nice workouts, i dont know how you get through all that with that ammount of volume.

[WannaBeMASSIVE]

Yeah, sometimes I think I'm doing too much (ie: overtraining) but, I get so pumped up, I just keep on doing sets. I gotta find a balance, so that I get a good workout (sufficiently exercising both my muscles and brain) with the least amount of actual effort. I'm still learning - the iron game is fo' lyfe.
