Hi
I was just wondering what exercise could i use to replace a stiff legged deadlift to work the same muscles? Also, the same question applies to good mornings.
I would also like tips on the most effective ways to cut in and become more toned and defined, for when ive reached my ideal size.
thanks

I forgot to say, i can only do exercises involving free weights as im training all at home. I do deadlifts, was looking for something that did hamstrings quite effectivaley but i do love the deadlifts. I dont mind waiting for my week off, should be in three weeks, just trying the quattri dynamo and see how that is, then im going to retake measurements (which ive been doing on a weekly basis) and see if my size has increased.
Some body parts are at the size i want them to be so is it possible to do endurance (if thats what i need to do to cut) on them parts and carry on as normal with the body parts that need increasing in size?
thanks again!

Ill just not workout the other body parts as intense then and cut everything at once.
I find it difficult to do a stiff leg deadlift as i have mild sciatica in my right leg which causes pain when my leg is fully extended sitting down or bending my back fowards whilst keeping my legs straight.
Ill give it a go with a light weight but if it is too painful ill do the swiss ball leg curls.
thanks for your help

Ive done the quattro dynamo for 3 weeks now and am taking a week of training. In the mean time, i need help making a workout to build the upper body effectively but maintaing the lower body size. Any ideas on reps and sets etc. After ive got ideal sizes i then need to cut in keeping the mucles mass which ill ask about when i get to that stage.
thanks

Ok, thats great. Is this for a full body workout?
e.g.
1 back exercise
1 chest exercise
rest
1 bicep
1 tricep
rest
or should i do a 3/4 day split and have 3-4 exercises for each body part?
I was wondering what exercises i would need to do for legs as there at the size i want but i dont want muscular atrophy but just to maintain them.
Im going to incorporate as much dumbbell exercises as possible and only use free weights.
When ive made the workout ill post it and i;ll tweak it if anythings wrong.
thanks

A/B Rest A/B Rest Rest refers to the days in the week.
Monday - Routine A
Tuesday - Routine B
Wed - Rest
Thurs - Routine A
Fri - Routine B
Sat - Rest
Sun - Rest
Something like that. Push = A / Pull = B or some other nice 2-day split
Lifting should ideally not exceed 45 minutes.
You SHOULD train the legs, as you know..use it or lose it. Plus the GH stimulation from training the legs can not be beat.
Start off focusing on the basic compound movements...then move to adding isolation movements into the routines.
Squats and stiff leg deadlifts for the legs
You can alternate with leg extensions and leg curls.

thanks again
Im going to do a split;
3 x 10 Chest and triceps
3 x 10 Back and biceps
3 x 10 legs and shoulders
5 x 5 for whole body compound exercises
most of the exercises will be compound
or i could do
3 x 10 whole body for all four days and reduce the exercises to 1/2 exercises each body part? Which would be more effective for building muscle?
thanks
