That'll be the twig legs :)

I'll try and get a vid up at some point. My main issue with squats is a messed up lower back (micro fracture and mashed disc) which gives up before my legs.

Crazy doing them then.

I've had a spinal fusion, given up totally on squats and deadlifts now.
 
Those tren gains bro :p

You got me - and I was being so subtle! :p

Crazy doing them then.

I've had a spinal fusion, given up totally on squats and deadlifts now.

If my form's good there's no problem - it's when pushing 1 rep maxes and the core starts to give up that things get hairy. Normal training is fine. So far!

Squats and deads today:

Squats: 1*10 60kg, 1*8 80kg, 1*5 100kg, 1*2 120kg, 1*1 130kg, 1*1 135kg (pb!), failed twice on 140kg. Legs felt ok but back was threatening to give. Next time!
Deads: 1*8 80kg, 1*8 100kg, 1*8 120kg, 4*5 150kg, 5*5 100kg reverse grip
Stiff leg deads: 3*8 60kg, 1*8 80kg, 1*3 100kg - core starting to go so ducked out.

Biceps after work ..
 
An hour of biceps after work with a friend. Super sets chained together. I can't move my arms now. Never do an hour of biceps.
 
Super happy with today - dead pb!

Muscle ups: 5*5
Deads: 1*10 80kg, 1*8 120kg, 1*5 140kg, 1*3 160kg, 1*1 170kg, 1*1 180kg (pb), 1*1 190kg (got cocky - didn't budge a mm :) )
Lat pushdowns: 5*5 40kg
 
Haha grats on the Pee Bee. Your increments are probably a little too close together for a solid PB attempt to be fair, 190 should be doable.

I think you're right mate. It wasn't an intestinal pb - just felt strong at the time :) Not sure about 190kg tho - it could have been cemented to the ground and I wouldn't have noticed the difference!

Leg maintenance day.

Squats: 1*12 60kg, 1*10 80kg, 1*8 100kg, 5*5 115kg, 1*12 80kg
