You should put this in the Training Logs forum......

[Willybellliam]

If Scott can move it there that's fine, didn't see that section

[Scott Stevenson]

I see no adductor work.

If you're looking for a program critique, we can leave it here, but you should put up all that you're doing.

If you want to keep a log that may or may not be viewed, we can move it to to training logs.

(We can leave it here until you get your Q's answered and then move it later, too. )

Sorry Scott that was adductor machine I should of put up there.

I intend on to keep updating this with each days workouts so either you or someone else can say what they think.

So what do you think?

[Scott Stevenson]

Still getting use to not lifting for multiple sets ie. 4 x 10 for multiple exercises.

Always feel like you want to do one more set but I need to think the body part will be trained again I'm the week.

Pump sets I was hanging out today felt like a sprint session looks easy but there really not if you do it properly

I'm with you on the pump sets......they seem easy at the beginning of the set and then you end up crying.
I've been training for the last 37 years and the last time I can remember puking was in 1984. I remember because it was a
weight workout when I was playing college football.
I puked last week after the pump sets for legs........really caught me by surprise! LOL

Pump sets for legs are by far the worst (best? We are a strange breed ) for me as well. The two that have completely put some serious hurting on me, are 1-1/2 reps of close stance hack sled squats and seated hamstring curls using 5's in the hole technique. For the former, by the end my entire body was shaking and my quads felt like they were going to explode and yet there were still reps happening (the stretch afterwards and the soreness that followed was unreal) for the latter, it was a very weird and painful feeling as my hamstrings were so pumped that they were digging into the seat of the machine (possible giving me some sort of occlusion effect). With each partial they just seemed to dig further and further. I'm certain the faces I was making on both any other place than the gym someone would have had me committed to an asylum.

Right now my go to has been leg presses. I don't lock out and I keep the weight moving, sometimes I'll throw a bottom half rep or two in between full reps, and I always finish off with burns..............then I try to stand up....
