Olympus Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I remember before doing this leg routine with an insane training partner. We would warm up doing leg extensions to pre-exhaust the quad muscles. Moderate weight for 3-4 sets of 30-40 reps. Then hell begins. We'd do Leg presses for an insane amount of weight for 10 reps, immediately after we proceeded to the squat rack and to do front squats for 12 to 15 reps then finally do walking lounges for 50 yards with dumbells on hand. We'd rest for a min. and repeat the cycle 3 more times (4 sets all in all) We'd be finished in 20 mins. Those were the insane days. This reminds me of the Colorado experiment workout in the 60's by Casey Viator. However, the difference is he will do leg exensions followed by leg presse folowed by squats in a tri-set fashion, all exercises done to failure.. Quote Link to comment

However, the difference is he will do leg exensions followed by leg presse folowed by squats in a tri-set fashion, all exercises done to failure.. This was a brutal tri-set. We've entertain the idea of going to failure for each excercise however, experience told us that when we aim for failure, we stop the set at will. Thus, we set a rep range here. Quote Link to comment
Jacques Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 I would also like to share a time before when I have adopted the 1 set aproach to train my back. This was roughly 4-5 years ago. My goal here was to only do a set per excercise given in a weight I could only execute 4 to 6 reps. When I can lift more than 6, I'd repete the set on a heavier weight. If I can barely do 4 I'd drop the weight and start again. Basically, its really heavy weight. I've adopted this program for half a year and I can honestly say that this was the time I have developed my back to be the broadest it has ever been. Â Here's the program:1.) Pull ups 50 reps. As many sets required to reach 50 total reps with 2 to 3 mins. rest intervals (takes me roughly between 4 to 6 sets depending on what I feel) this is the only excercise I really do more than I set. After finishing the pull ups my back's pump is already insane.2.) Dumbell rows 4-6 reps (at that time I think I was rowing 90 lbs) you'd be surprised how strong you actually are when you're not wasting energy on build up pyramid sets. 3.) Cross Bench dumbell pullover 4-6 reps4.) Shoulder width underhand pull downs/weighted chin ups 4-6 reps5.) Behind the back Pull downs 4-6 reps6.) Barbell row / Smith machine row (which I find pathetic)7.) Cable rows lower abdomen pull8.) T-bar rows9.) Cable pull overs. Â This program made me one of the ''widest'' guys in the gym back then. However, my back never reached it's fullest details specially along the trap and erector area when I didn't seriously adopt a consistent back routine focusing on deadlifts. Quote Link to comment

massmonster Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ganon ba sya ka big deal dun? Part owner ba siya? From what I know, he's a personal trainer and consultant there and of course, being Mr. Philippines is something. Anyway, my sources say that he's already back here in the Philippines and it turns out that FOXX gym closed because of other reasons but would probably open again. Quote Link to comment

blooue4u Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 SuperSharp Gym Taft. punong puno ng roids. Quote Link to comment
Jacques Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 SuperSharp Gym Taft. punong puno ng roids. I did some trial workout here back then when I was in college. It was mostly joused by students from DLSU and other nearby universities. Di ko akalaing laganap na rin ang roids dito. Nevertheless, I never saw this gym as a "hardcore" one... or maybe time's changed Quote Link to comment
