Well just about every single leg exercise I do has some form of hip extension so the hams get hit hard - full squats, oly lifts, oly style pulls, deadlifts/rackpulls - all types, weighted hyper extensions (get your hips as much off the pads as possible and hams will get hit hard!) , reverse hypers (bodyweight mostly), and I also do glute ham raises on the floor - very rarely these days though.

vert is estimated to be above 36 inches, it would be much higher if I leaned up a bit - 10lbs could make quite a difference
But damn am I so much faster now!

I can tan a little when I bake, but it still doesn't do a lot. I'm about as pale as possible too. I don't like it, not one bit.

CoolColJ - Your legs are looking mighty powerful! Great work.

 

[louden_swain]

looks pretty good!!

If it makes you feel any better. . . my legs are whiter (is this a word?) than yours!

 

[coolcolj]

Thanks for the compliment guys -

full squatting is my fav exercise, I guess that helps

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Nice tree trunks man! No ? that work is paying off!!!!
