Can I ask what you bench? It troubles me that I bench 100, but only squat 110. My deadlift seems "right" at 130-140 and I don't ignore legs. Though I am on them all day.

Don't have one. Well, they have one of those sit down ones, but not one of the proper lay back jobbies. I don't really use that. I'm trying to put mass and power on my legs and now I'm using a bike for endurance and toning. As well as treading London all day I'm still working to find a balance. I want Tom Hardy's upper body which I'm not a million miles away from, give it another year or so, but I also want Chris Hoy's legs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's all genetics innit? We're all different. I bench 105 and squat 155. My training partner is right there with me on squats, but lags behind on the bench, struggles for a set of 70. You sound like you're the opposite, you'd be up there on bench but behind on legs. Although I would suggest if you're on your feet all day, AND you use the bike for cardio, that might be slightly detrimental to gains. Ultimately if you've got an active job and you're hitting the cardio for "toning" you're gonna struggle to make gains. Losing fat (toning) and adding mass don't work together too well.

I did struggle a bit with the squat but when I added the leg press to my routine I started making gains again ......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I'm not ridiculously unbalanced. I really enjoy squats so I never skip. I have problems with my knees too though, so I've always been more inclined to push myself with benching and back/shoulder stuff. It's a mental thing I guess. I sprint in short bursts on the bike. I try to avoid long distances for the reasons you mention. I'm constantly bulking basically whilst trying not to get "fat" again. I've still a long way to go to where I want to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nah, Dom is much bigger than that I'd say, especially around the glamour muscles. Though our Tom does look much bigger when you highlight those traps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
