5 grams of Test a week and you too can look like Benchmonster... That is the most jacked I've ever seen a bench press specialist.

See everyone, you dont need squats to get big legs, just go bench heavy, and do leg extensions and you can be as jacked as Bench.

BM,

I would avoid the "BB style"/Olympic squats.. your knees will thank you when you are older..


Personally in your situation I would do zercher (is that how you spell it?) squats and stifflegged deadlifts.. that will keep your abs, lower back, and leg size/strength up...

one day a week you could do zercher squats for two weeks then alternate with stiffleg deadlifts for two weeks..and add some backwards sled pulling for quads and you're set..

this way you wont get those squat shoulders/bicep tendons..

After my injury...i competed in bbing, until i couldnt stand it anymore, anyway, i wanted to powerlift again, so i specialized on the bench...for my leg training, i kept squatting, but in the smith machine, olympic style, but didnt go super heavy, 405 for 8...that wont mess your knees up, and i did a lot of close stance leg presses, and for deads, i did a lot of partial deads, it kept my back looking thick, and strong! My legs look thicker than ever..actually bigger than when i squatted 800+!!

Thanks to all,

Musclehead, this sounds like pretty good idea. What does Kennely do? He is a pretty decent bencher with a above average build.

What about squatting hurts your shoulder? Is it bar position?

You could also try the manta ray. After I had my shoulder reconstructed, I had to use one until I could hang onto the damn bar.

You might want ask a bodybuilder, like, say, Hannibal...
