sarge....great to see you're are attempting a strong comback.....my legs are shot too, but I feel as long as we continue to squat with good form, it'll building muscle! WHo the fuck cares if people laugh...........

On a side note, but really do farmers walk do? Traps? Are they solid for mass?

Hey Sarge. Go have a look at ricanx99 thread. I tried to start a club and he got mad at me. I even had us set up for custom shirts and head bands! I don't think he understands. A club is a good thing...lol

*B_Bunny*: Dang... well do what you gotta do I really don't think it's from the squatting. My neck and upper spine need an adjustment but lower felt fine yesterday... i know i was slacking with the core tightness yesterday for sure.

CS: Appreciated bro, thanks. Ahh, good idea. well I can't press it fully out... standing, ceiling is too low for my OH reach.. but I can definetly get it on my back i'm sure. I may do a few light rep sets today to get some blood in the legs. Great call.

JK: Thanks. Not attempting... It's just time to start squatting again. Farmer's walks are great GPP, grip strength, full body work. You're walking around holding a few hundred pounds it's bound to make you stronger, lol. You know that the lift doesn't add mass, eating and calories do bro.

FF: lol... i'll have to check that out. Me and AL started a Big Bench club cuz our pressing sucks... mine more so than his, therefore that makes me the President, not just a member

What are you disagreeing on? You dont feel farmers walks would help grip strength? that eating increases mass?

btw i am not picking on you I am just asking for clarification

I def agree that you need to train in accordance with your eating to gain lean body mass. I have a feeling Sarge agrees with that. Maybe worded he should have worded that a little different?

Sgt?

Do you agree that:

Calories In > Calories Out = Mass Gain

It's a true statment. The quality of that mass will vary person to person. The stimulous that provides quality mass (muscle) gain is lifting. The more motor units involved (like squatting) provide a great stimulous for muscle gain.

Did you understand how I explained Farmer's in my own words? I'll find a website that goes over it more in detail if you like.

Let's not delrail this thread, we can take it to a pm if you like....but the truth of the matter is we don't NEED nearly as many calories as many take in to grow nicely.....a good friend who competes nationally and internationally at 5'10, 205 consumes about 2700 calories off season..........just a thought.

It's my thread... i'll keep posting as I like

I hear ya bro.

Ok...back to the "everyone is different" topic....

Your good friend is NOT you. Does not have the same chemical balances, hormone levels, ect as you... i'm not sure there are many people with EXACTLY the same levels of "stuff" in them.

Some people grow on 2500 calories...some DO NOT grow on even 6,000 calories.

Feel me?

it's all about experiementation and finding out what's best for you. If you're not growing and the scale isn't going up. You need to eat more, plain and simple. It's not that complicated.

("You" in this post doesn't = Jkurz... it's just for making the point in my post. If you can apply it to you and gain from it, great ... if not, hopefully it's helped some other people reading along)
