Does getting that big legs affect your sprinting pace much?

Maybe it's something you never notice though I guess.

My legs aren't that big (stated the size up there somewhere). They don't affect my ability to walk, run, row, climb stairs etc. If anything all these things are easier and I'm confident my sprinting abilities are greater than before I trained my legs. Quite quite happily give people a run for their money

Do alternate weeks, variation in the program can be a good thing ... or even do it in 2 week blocks

I'd say to start with your weakest angle first. If you want to stick to one main pressing compound then alternate this every 3/4 weeks. That's personally how I'd go about it. It should stimulate the muscle from a different angle/load/lever and allow it to respond by growing. Tickling it every other week/session may not be enough. Doing each exercise in a few week blocks should help you to nail form too.

Depends how hard you work it in a week of course, most suggest doing 2 or 3 week blocks, but I find 1 or 2 week blocks more interesting personally

I agree, changing things often keeps it interesting. I'd get 3 or 4 chest 'stimulations' in on a 3/4 day split in 2 weeks where as most people might only get 2. On HST I get 6. So frequency is all relative

FF's are probably bigger! Don't even want to go there with Trey Brewer!

I can't remember which pro it is that's photoshopped onto the 'Powerthirst' energy drink fake comercial things. His legs are probably some of the best (not biggest) I've seen.

Can anybody tell me how many grams of protein/creatine you can fit in the scoops from the supplement sites, all the supplements dont come with plastic scoops and you have to buy them separate, these are the plastic scoops that are available:

0.5ml Measure, 1ml Measure, 5ml Measure, 75ml Measure, 150ml Measure

If you could tell me how many grams you can fit in to each scoop it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cristian · 22 Jan 2011 at 01:11

the 75ml measure = 30grams of whey protein.
As for creatine,

BulkPowders.co.uk said:
5ml measure (level scoop) provides 3.6g of Creatine powder.

Full link here, it exemplifies most supplements. The volume is the same but as the density is different the weight vaires a lot.

Mate it will be different with each powder, better to buy good scales and do it yourself with the scoops you have.

Also wrong thread.

I think last time I checked using scales, a level 5ml scoop of creatine is about 2g, heaped is 2.5g.

For 75ml scoops, I get 30g of protein powder usually, 40g of ground oats.

Nice one, was worried you did something horrible!

Freefaller · 22 Jan 2011 at 13:58

You're not much far off me now Benny :cool:

Still holding steady at 27.5" at the moment.

Dj_Jestar · 22 Jan 2011 at 14:00

What gives with the shadows of Trey's legs?

I know who he is (read: I've seen his pics before) so I know he has massive legs, but still.. those shadows are a bit skinny?

Crowort · 22 Jan 2011 at 14:27

It is a picture of a cardboard cut out or photoshop?

SkScotchegg · 22 Jan 2011 at 14:28

lol, your only as big as ya shadow! haha, those legs are great, look twice as big as mine!
