oh...i meant mesocycle 1 as in 2 weeks of the program = running through all the exercises once...sorry for the wrong terminology

i dont know which other exercises to do...
these are supposed to be the outlined exercise choices:
squats
smythe squats
hack squat
leg press
i dont have a smythe machine or a hack squat machine in my gym most unfortunately. so that leaves me with leg press. i thought i could do safety bar squats but wasnt so sure since it isnt mentioned in the guidelines.

My suggestion for hamstrings would be to keep them last like you're doing, but use the plate loaded machine keeping ONLY your heels on the top of the platform. Dante recommends these bigtime. It'll smoke your hammies way better than what you have. It'll also keep your quads from dominating the lift.

the hammer strength leg press machine is a plate loaded machine only.....i thought in sumo squats legs are supposed to be @ 180 degress (almost)...if i keep my heels on the TOP of the platform, how will i be doing sumo squats? in the sense, my legs wont be at an angle of 180*, so is that ok?

nope.....thanks for the suggestion. but i havent mentioned. i do SLDLs off a 6" platform (u know the one u use for a box-squat?)
thanks for helping me out sir
ps: its such a pleasant coincidence: i knew my lower body workouts were weak....(which is exaclt why i re-arranged all the exercises to optimize stress on my muscles after running through them all once..) and i was wondering today what to do to change things for the better, and u come up and post
thanks...i sincerely appreciate u taking the trouble to help me out
