The Beast's Training Journal!

You need help beast!!! That is sick, I mean the volume. But damn it is nice to see those numbers up again

 

[guldukat]

Ditto!

A couple of the high volume guys at my gym tease me a little about doing so few sets, but they give me props for intensity. They say there's no way they could do any of their single sets as hard as I like to. (Then again, they never try .)

But they'd really be floored by Beast, combining that volume with such crazy intensity. I don't think they'd believe their eyes!

You gonna think I'm out of my skull, but I've been sampling with using the smith mach for squats....feet way out in front, father than 90 degrees and almost to a point where you smack your ass on the floor (way below parallel..........quads have responded like nothing else..........its crazy

Nice brother!! I used to do those also. I like how you can put your feet out in front without losing balance on the smith. Hits the legs nice. If my spine wasnt still sore Id try squats.

 

[WalkingBeast]

don't always agree with your methods but can't argue that it's taken you far and you have a soul built for the iron. Must be good to be back beast

ThanX brother!! Its very good to be getting back. Hopefully Ill be back in a few weeks. ThanX again!

ThanX brother!! Appreciate the encouragement from you and everyone else who posted. It feels good to be getting back into heavy training again. Hopefully Ill be able to deadlift more frequently too. I really try to train to complete exhaustion. ThanX again!!

ThanX brother!! Appreciate the compliments! You must be training pretty intense yourself to be at your size and strength level! And I know suston has some insane training routines! I think I just built up a tolerance by training this way over the years (never leaving the gym, tearing myself apart set after set). ThanX again brother!!
