So sore! I've finally got my workouts where they're able to fatigue without the time being so long.

Until now, I'd been doing TONS of reps at moderate-to-higher volume (8-12 reps) only and it would take a million sets to wear me down... but it was all about hitting that awesome-looking 3 HOUR workout 😕.

Now, I'm going for efficiency: 2 to 2.5 hours to get the same effect by adding in a bunch of lower reps of the heavy weights.

So while Diablo is pumping out 200k in 1.5 hours, I'm taking a dive and hitting around 65-70k in 2.5 hours.

Aaaaaall good though - that's up from 45k this time last month! I'm gunnin' for ya, big boy! 😉😙

I think machines get a bad rap, especially leg press because of the tendency for people to load up the weights while doing .25-.5 reps. If you do a slow eccentric, go deep and push the reps out until you look like a tomato, you'll get great gains. :)

No, I meant basically heel or about half of your foot. Really low weight slow and as many reps as you can. Really burns em. You either ever try squat on the Smith machine with your feet a foot or more in front of you? Look into it, it targets the hams and glutes more.
