actually many fat burners are more effective at preventing fat gain in the face of caloric excess than they are at losing additional fat in a caloric deficit

Pretty cool, makes sense.

layne what are some good veggies to eat during prep and what sould i put in my salad?

[LOL]

Layne, when squatting, what is the best way to shift the emphasis to stimulate inner thigh development?

[Toddbz]

So in my quest for better legs I tried a taste of Layne Pain.
All exercises were done with 1 warm up (excpet squat, which was 1st, and has 2) and 4 working sets with reps taken to almost failure on each.
It looked something like this.
squat
leg press
hack squat (first time I've done that in 15 years and it tried to kill me)
hamstring curls
GHR's (no warm up needed)
good mornings
leg extension
I felt super strong throughout the whole routine. After the workout my 6 year old daughter wanted me to carry her to the car. Well I tried to pick her up, and that's when my mind caught up with my body. Holy crap was I smoked. I was so sore for the next 4 days that I was walking like Frankenstein. I just followed the same routine last night and it felt great again. I'm not feeling like I need a funeral service today, so that's awesome. I even added some weight to each lift and kept my form.
So

Sorry continuing.
As I was saying.
Thank you Layne for the information, dedication, and inspiration to make this happen for me.
Damn now I need bigger pants lol

Layne, when squatting, what is the best way to shift the emphasis to stimulate inner thigh development?

probably going a bit wider, however i'm a fan of just using whatever foot position is most comfortable because you will have better form and use more weight

layne what are some good veggies to eat during prep and what sould i put in my salad?

you mean like what kind of dressing?

as for veggies, I like an asian stir fry blend. Sprinkle splenda & soy sauce over them... damn good!

Quad help

Hi Layne...great thread, good of you to spend your free time helping out other naturals.

Just a question regarding quads. I really struggle to put size on my quads, would you recommend doing quads twice a week? Could I do one day of close-stance squats, leg press etc... and one day wide-stance?

Thanks Layne

Hey Mike,
I killed myself for YEARS on legs going once per week and just hammering the living hell out of them til I couldn't walk or tie my shoes the next day. Made very little progress. People told me i was over training so i backed off. Made even less progress. Then a friend of mine who is very intelligent told me to forget all that nonesense and try training them 2x/week and low and behold, my legs actually grew. I swear by 2x/week. One day is lower volume and lower reps focussing on heavy compound movements moving as much weight as possible the other day is lighter, with more reps, less rest between sets and more volume.

depends, I guess you could work out your split so you could do it that way. I've always done them together but I don't see why you couldn't split them up

damn nice workout bro! now that is a leg workout!

Thanks. Puttin some muscle behind the hustle.

What's up Layne?

Just a question regarding nutrition. Specifically: I notice places like McD's advertise the fact that they deep fry in healthy oils. Isn't this totally pointless as the heat destroys the good oils and turns them into trans fats?

[str8flexed]

I'm not really sure, but healthy oils are only healthy to a point and at the quantity they are using it's all unhealthy
