Today's chest and calf workout, no vids though, I really got to get myself a better camera, my digital just makes everyone look like pink blobs.

Bench Press: 10@135, 8@225, 8@315, 6@335, 5@355
Incline DB Press: 10@100 x 3 sets
Pec Deck: 10@200 x 3 sets
DB Pullovers: 10@100 x 3 sets

Standing Calf Press: 10@345 x 4 sets
Seated 1-leg Calf Press: 10@90 x 4 sets

Also did 45min cardio at 5:30am and another 30min post-workout.

haha love ur videos layne, awesome to see a natty doin that shit. It is almost as if everyone i know gets sick of doing things natural and begins putting everything they can get their hands on into their body. A guy like you gives me great encouragement.

thanks bro, I get tired of people thinking that the only people who lift with intensity are guys who use anabolics. Most people assume the only reason they can train like that is because they are 'on'. I say that's bullshit and people just choose not to try.

Big Poppa; that's some hella weight on BP. I can hold my own on those other lifts but that BP is very impressive my man

Layne, what you like to do for your calves? I saw you did 15 sets, you always do a lot of sets like that? You know it's hard for us natties to get those good looking legs that got a lot of thickness. I'm 6'2 so my upperbody is a hell of a lot more powerful than my lower, u think squats that are heavy with lower reps would help to get some mass on them, nething else you suggest feel free. Thanks a lot bro, hope the training is going well. By the way you're a monster with those front squats!

thanks Irish, as you probably know legs were a big weakness for me, and I still consider them a lagging bodypart; but not like they used to be. I think high volume/high frequency is really the way to grow. My calves were stuck at 15" until i started working them 2-3x per week with 20-30 sets per week; that got them up to 17"

i saw you posted that natty bodybuilders shouldnt cut water leading into a show i was wondering what the reasoning was for this.

[LOL]

Layne, what is this GHR training I see people talking about? Is this something you started? How can it be applied? Legs? Back? Anywhere??

Haha, another example of these horrible acronyms confusing everyone!

Gaoshang Xiongshou: GHR - Glute Ham Raises

It's an excellent exercise for the hams. It really hammers the shit out of them actually (I just tried them the other day for the first time).

[LOL]

Have a picture of it somewhere?

Have a picture of it somewhere?

On the 'Daily Pump Pics' thread Layne posted a vid of it. Just go back a few pages... mind you it's a pretty busy thread so it could be 10 or so pages back.

[Dr House]

if you dont, google video then..

[LOL]

Oh I do those now!!! LOL I never knew what they were called though.

I should be ready to attempt them with a 25 lb. plate over my chest in about another month or so.

Thanks a lot Layne, I appreciate the help man. I saw that sample diet you had on bb.com and it said i believe your last meal you would take 3 fish oil caps. Are there any other vitamins or minerals you find to be essential to a bodybuilder? If so, when do you take them and what do you suggest for serving. Thanks again bro, you're a huge help.

Hey Layne, you are doing a great work here and I wish you a lot of successes...
what do you think about circuit training? They have or have had some place in your workouts during the year?
