Adonis here, I have no fear

[Bigmurph6]

I completely understand that brother age kicks our ass lol

 

[Adonis]

Only an asshole if a person gets in the way of my money or threatens harm on my family. Then it’s on lol.

 

[John]

100% agree with you

 

[Adonis]

They say we’re like a fine wine we get better with time. Well, I’m still waiting lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

I was going to say I guess im definitely not turning into fine wine maybe good at best lol lol

I do have a topic. Legs. At 6’3" it’s always been a struggle to get them to grow. I’d be curious to see if there’s anyone else with my height that has had the same problem and what they did differently. Mine are strong and decently built, I just want them a little bigger. I can start this thread elsewhere if you’d like. Let me know

I even shoot my quads more than glutes or delts.

Also, I’ve tried so many different things over the years. Maybe I’m missing something.

Welcome sir

 

[Bigmurph6]

Sounds great to me I look forward to reading it brother

I’m 6’1 and felt like I was struggling to make mine grow. I dropped down the heavy weight. Went full range of motion, and tempo control on every single leg workout. 2/3 down:1 pause: 1 up, and i finally feel like my legs are decent sized.

Welcome

Welcome aboard!

6’4” here. My legs were always hard to grow. So I changed my workout. Intense training every 3 weeks. The rest is volume training. I use to have decent legs. Good size and density. But now. Not so much. Need a knee reconstruction and holding off till November. My age is close to replacement so trying to determine which to do. . But I hit legs every 4 days. Worked for me.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve never thought about it but can you squat again (anything substantial) after knee replacement like those with hip replacements.

Those i know with knee replacements don’t train.

 

[Adonis]

Did you cut the weight in half?

 

[Adonis]

I’m hitting mine every 2 days. May try 3-4 days.

 

[NeuroRN]

I cut it to less on some exercises. The weight didn’t matter as much as full ROM and tempo control. Then started building back up once I felt strong in the entire range of motion. Ass to grass, full stretch on every thing.

 

[Adonis]

Lord ass to grass makes my knees hurt thinking about it. Can’t do that anymore. I’m doing the typical 90degree rule. How old are you?

 

[NeuroRN]

1. I need Bilateral knee replacement as it is right now, going full rom has literally been the best thing I’ve done for them.

 

[Adonis]

Ahh early 30s. Take care of yourself youngster. I’m 50 and thankfully I haven’t broken my body down with heavy, heavy weights and don’t need nor have had any major surgeries. I’ll lighten up the weight and try the full rom…slowly lol.

 

[NeuroRN]

Slowly is good. I convinced @Poppy to start doing body weight knees over toes lunges. Those also made a world of difference with my knees.
