You're doing something wrong if you're not benching more than 130X5 after training for a year.

I can't really tell what your legs look like in that pic but you say they are cut up...only it looks like fat storage to me. Not trying to insult you I'm just saying that some people tend to store a lot of fat downstairs and you look like a person that does.

It is not usual to have your legs grow so out of proportion but I think that the problem is that you need a more specialized program to meet you unique needs. you upper body strength is way off and it's likely just too much with the SS.

I for one don't really advize the squatting three times a week, btw. But so much squatting is advised because squatting, no matter what people at bb.com may think, is not a "leg" exercise. It is an everything under the bar exercise. Can it be over-utilized and over-recommended. For sure. Is there more than one way to skin a cat? Of course. I've personally never subscribed to the theory that squatting alone will give you huge arms, lol, and I KNOW I've never said it. I don't remember what I've personally said lately in your posts, though, so I'd rather catch up before I say anything more.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I know Ross, remember my other thread? The one with the pics?

I guess whatever thing I'm doing wrong in ALL my routines I'm still doing wrong. I just can't figure out what. I'm eating so much. And yeah I followed Rippetoe's exactly Kane, I did the rows, military barbell presses, and bench presses.

We need vids of your lifts.

What *exactly* is your diet like?

Are you resting properly?

Do you deadlift?

Whats your upper body training like?

You don't do squats to make your arms bigger specifically. You do squats to get bigger as a whole. Squats are a full body workout when done properly. Suats are one your biggest lifts and putting the big stresses on the body causes the big adaptions (aka growing). Its how our bodies adapt to manage the stresses.

I don't mean to be a dick (well, part of me does) but I could do this all day. You said you followed Ripps exactly, but you didn't follow anything correctly. Evidence is in the links and honestly its no big surprise why you haven't seen any results.

Many of us commented on that exact video you just posted.
