Make 'Em Choke On It by Machine Take a look at the mass media machine--TV, movies, magazines, newspapers, award shows and all of the other ass kissing contests. If I stop and take too much of it in, I get sick to my stomach. Everyone wants to be pretty. Everyone wants to be loved and walk around with an entourage ten people strong. The athletes are more skilled at the dramatic arts than the actors are and each of them gets more exposure than they know what to do with. Then you look at reality television. If that's real my ass is a banjo. I guess I've always been too busy living with my boots on the ground to worry about how real it was. It felt pretty damn real so we'll just call it good. You know what else is real? Take your ass over to the leg press at your local singles club (oh, I meant gym)… These little slip ups happen occasionally. Anyway, load one plate on each side do 15 reps and then walk around the machine. As you pass by, load another plate on each side, sit down and do another 15. After the 15th rep stand up without hesitation and walk around the machine again. The way you know when to stop repeating this cycle is when you can no longer reach 15 reps or you puke where you sit. Next up is triple drop sets of 15 on the leg extension. Go to your heaviest weight do 15, drop 30% do 15, drop 30% do 15… Rest between sets to ensure completion of the cycle. Perform this 3 times, then get your ass over to the squat rack like you have a purpose. I want 4 sets of 30 reps. Now don't load up 95 pounds and do 30 reps, because that would piss me off. Use a weight that you have to struggle to hit 30 but that still allows you to stay in good form and hit your reps. Finish with one legged extensions, 4 sets per leg at 15 reps. Slow pace and flex with power at the top. That is a creative quad workout that won't get you into all this years great parties, but it will stimulate growth and test your limits at the same time. If your scared you won't hold up don't worry dying young is in these days.
