We've got a nautilus one at school, replaced one that broke. It's such a nice bench. Mind you the damn thing is huge

Yeah it's pritty darn big! Has storage hooks on the back for olympic plates which I found useful, as oposed to running back and forth to the tree. Also made a quite useful dipping station with the bars in series as opposed to parralell.

Paz - great lifting mate! :cool:

Robbie - looks like good progress, definitely lost a decent amount of fat there. Keep it up!

Here we are some leg shots at last. Had been squatting 3 times a week for the last 3/4 weeks, only 3 sets at 100KG so not a massive amount. Finished that full body split after my GVT and have had two leg sessions since.

Some in gym pump.

Blurred my 'member' out so as to minimalise homo

My calves look smaller than they actually are and I couldn't get a good shot without it blurring but are just over 15.5"

Nice wheels dude.

Legs of doom! Bloody hell!
That is impressive.

BennyC · 15 Oct 2009 at 21:09

Thanks guys

I've never felt my legs were a strong point but scince GVT and leaning up a bit I've had lots of comments. Spurs me on even more.

Freefaller · 15 Oct 2009 at 21:51

Nice one Benny, looking great mate. I haven't had a good quad session in about a month. Starting to feel it now

Very impressive legs there, Benny. How do you find trousers that fit though!? I've already out-grown a lot of my pairs of jeans and my legs pale in comparison to yours!

Freefaller · 16 Oct 2009 at 06:31

Wait till you get to Morba's leg size!!!

N19h7m4r3 · 16 Oct 2009 at 09:54

Haha I relish the idea of moving to bigger sizes!

Although I'm sure you'll need tailor made things when you get to Morba's size along with Benny and FF.

Either that or an XL with enough leg room would just fall off you without a very tight belt.

Awesome legs Benny, quite inspiring as my quads have always fell behind slightly.

Leg Extensions said:
Not just a waste of time for 99% of trainees but also a movement that has caused more knee injuries than any other leg exercise I can think of. The leg extensions forces the kneecap to “shear”, placing dangerous pressures on tendons and ligaments.

I read this earlier. Sounds rubbish to me?

I love extensions, perfect for isolating the quads after bigger compounds.

Thanks. Being a student I normally just wear jeans, G-star, levis or topman one's to be precise. I need pleats on the front of my proper trousers as my legs at the front are very prominent. The pockets on suit trousers without them kick ridiculously. My mothers a seamstress so takes them in at the waist. Not quite sure if you can see it by I have two GIANT bald patches down the inside of each leg from where the hairs been rubbed away

Not sure if you can see it but the second photo from the bottom, the leg furthest away from the mirror you can see a feint line, that be where there's no hair!

My legs are only 24-25", I say 'only' but it's very little fat due to lots of rowing with good technique and high volume leg sessions. Sets of 20+ for the win!

What Morba rolling on now?

Not sure if anybody has seen this? Fancy squatting for 8 minutes? 34" legs bigger than my waist!

Thanks,

My old training partner didn't like to do more than 3/4 sets of leg extensions for this reason. You can lean your feet in/out to hit different areas, but am not sure if this makes it better or worse.

If it was really that bad I can't see why almost every gym has a leg extension machine...
