I would stick to whatever joed has you on- he's a strong and knowledgeable guy! It might help if you got up some vids of you deadlifting if possible?Okay so leg day today
Squats 3x10-25 : 1st set: 22 reps, 2nd set: 15 reps, 3rd set: 11 reps all at 95 lbs.
Leg curls: 4x8-12 : 1st set 80lbs, 2nd set 90lbs, 3rd set 95lbs all at 12 reps
Leg extensions: 2x10-12 : 1st set 50lbs, 2nd and 3rd set 55 lbs all at 12 reps
Standing calf raises: 1st set 70lbs, 2nd set 80 lbs, 3rd set 85lbs, all 30 reps
So the squats took alot out of me.. I was exhausted today.. And for the leg curls and leg extensions I totally didn't even realize that I was supposed to do 4 sets of curls and 2 sets of extensions, I did 3 and 3 instead.. How does that look?

Hey guys.. Today another good workout..
Flat bench press 3x12 @120lbs
Shoulder press machine 2x12 @40lbs 1x12 @45lbs
Dips 3x15 @ 146.8lbs lol
Close grip bench press 1x19 1x11 1x15 all at 50lbs
So my tri's are looking bigger and my chest looks bigger.. Quick question about dips.. I might be getting this home gym but it won't come with anything to do a parallel body dip, so is it okay to replace it with a bench dip? With some weight on my lap.. Secondly are doing dips working my traps too? I already have un-proportional traps so I don't want to work them too often.. And how can I get rid of the indent developing in between my pecs? Incline bench press? I hope somebody reads my thread for once.. ;(

if you do dips at home, use 2 chairs and do them that way if you can. It's a very good alternative. Not sure if dips are going to be working your traps that much, but i do know it hits your shoulders pretty hard.
Indent between pecs? Not sure, but it sounds like something pretty minor. Mind going a bit more in detail?

my outer pecs, as in the parts that start going into my shoulders and under my arms a bit are poofing out more and then my inner pecs dont build near as much and Im sort of developing a little indent in between the lower half of my pecs, it looks kind of like a triangle, and you can see the muscles it looks like my muscles are receding away from eachother, and they look like tears inside my skin lol.
and by two chairs do you mean like put them beside eachother with enough space in between to do dips exactly the same as the two bars? i didnt know chairs were that sturdy. and i ask about the dips working my traps because my buddy pointed out that they were being worked during my dips today. i have no idea why they are so big, i have only worked them out once in my life and that was during this past wednesday..

Do close grip bench, it works the sternal part of the pecs, which is where the indent part is.
I just got this book a month ago or so:
Amazon.com: Strength Training Anatomy (9780736041850): Frederic Delavier: Books
It shows how the sternal part of the pecs takes most of the work from cgbp.

Maybe do close grip first one day,,,,, 3 sets of 8 or something like that. My sternal chest area is actually pretty defined, and consequently my cgbp is really strong compared to my regular.
