Biglee Squats 5 x 5

We planned on doing 5 x 5 on squats. Some days are good and some days are bad. After completing extensions i sensed discomfort on my surgically repaired knee. But we still decided to squat, but not max out. we squatted with 40kgs, 70kgs, 100kgs, 130kgs and finally 160 kgs. As the sets grew heavier, the knee started showing more discomfort. So i decided not to squat all the way down, but stop it at parallel. In spite of the discomfort, it was work perfectly accomplished. The quadriceps were perfectly stimulated.

This video has the last two sets of squat. And here is my high volume quadriceps workout for you information....

leg extensions - 5 x 10-20

squats - 5 x 5

leg press - 4 x 20 ( the leg press machine does not hold more than 8 plates per sidde)

hack squats - 4 x 12

machine squats - 3 x 15

Rack pulls - 5 x 5 160kgs

Getting stronger by the day.. 160 kgs is no personal record. But after i tore my lat muscle, i thought that i may never deadlift again.. But here i am slowly progressing on the lifts and growing thicker by the day...

Muscle Hypertrophy - kill the bro science and use common sense

Muscle Hypertrophy - kill the bro science and use common sense

Now a days i see lot of people advocating bro science in the gym about fitness and bodybuilding. I came across one such incident where the guy with no signs of muscle growth was explaing to people about hypertrophy with the help of an internet article with no credibility.
1. Understand this - anyone can get an internet space and write an essay about what ever they want. may be good, may be bad . May be right , may be wrong.. You will have no clue about it.
2. Muscle does not count reps for it to say give me 5-8 reps i will grow. Give me 12-15 reps for me to grow endurance..
3. Muscle only knows the time under tension and amount of damage caused on the muscle cells caused.
4. Lift heavy and take your muscles to the limits beyond failure and they will get hypertrophy.

Rack pulls 130 kg for 11 reps

It is a trend in the gyms to come up with lot of angles to hit each muscle by all the trainers.. But i see that many have forgotten the bread and butter of muscle building. I see newbies hardly doing the regular bench press,  squat, deadlifts, rack pulls, military press etc... they grow in love to the machines that makes their job easy and complain their genetics for the lack of thickness of muscle....

It was back training day with Harish Sakthivel and we decided to go high on reps and did 6 sets of rack pulls... We were doing all sets for 10 while increasing the weight on the bar... As usual my counting in this set was wrong and i ended up doing 11 ...



we were training in the slam gym set up in TNagar chennai...
