Every time I deadlift, my legs end up shaking like a @*@#%$$!#+%#. Like one time it shook so much I almost rolled my ankle

.
I'm not even lifting heavy and even lowered the weight. Any way to stop this?

Nah not at all. But my legs are weird though. They're kinda pointed slightly outwards at the knee (like <   > if I'm facing you). I don't know if that could have something to do with it.
 
I havent worked out much this month, since there was no school. Finally got back into the gym.

at 143 my max is 253... leg press - never done a set in my life.  Should I do 'em?

I eat maybe 2 tablespoons of PB per day and I am currently lean bulking with food + mutant mass.

at how weak I've become.

Dumb question but can you just drink V8 instead of eating vegetables?
laugh.gif


And does it really matter what type of multivitamin you take?

Seriously, do you guys know how to cook? You don't have to eat vegetables plain. Use a little creativity. Cook them with eggs, mongolian style, stuffed peppers, etc.

But anyways Brett looked it up and you can drink V8 instead of eating actual vegetables. Vegetables provide fiber though, so you might have to take a benofiber or some $%@$ like that.
Also said you should drink a lot of water because V8 might be loaded with sodium
 
this is what im working with right now.

ectomorphs ftl

this is after going from 144 to around 160... still a lil ninja. lol
 
Okay... deload week.
From my understanding deloading is very important to give your CNS recovery time and get prepared for another month of heavy lifting.

Here is what it looks like


I do two assistance exercises for 5 sets of 10 reps each workout.
Is it wise to cut those weights in half like I do for the main lift???
I was thinking I could do the main lift and then do some high intensity resistance training to aide with fat loss (since there isn't a need for caloric surplus during a deload)
Doing really low volume main lift AND assistance lift is almost a waste of time... but is it vital to sufficient 'deloading'?
Advice??
 
Im right with you dgk. I am 143 and i want to get up to 160. I have been going to gym a lot past two months but basically same weight. i need some tips. I dont use any type of supplements and i would prefer not to. I do however drink Whey after every workout. I want to focus on upper body right now i know when i work on my legs i can gain weight faster there..

Usually what i do
tuesday and sunday: back and bicep
Rows, lat pull down, dumbell rows.
seated dumbell curls, barbell curls, bicep machine

Thursday and saturday : chest and tricep
Bench, dumbell incline press, flys, free motion chest
tricep pull down, tricep machine.

Any tips on different exercises or how many reps/weight i should be using??
thanks
