literally SS

>>41475574
Can I add leg extensions and leg press to that?

>>41475709
you really dont need to. get your squat up to 4pl8 and youll have big legs. simple as that

cycle for cardio if you want

Okay I have also been lifting a year, don't know if that changes the progression, but I am weak anyways..

>>41475743
stats? what have you been doing for a year that didnt grow your legs

>>41475377

Don't do cardio. If you do cardio, make it a simple 2 mi(~3.5 km) walk.

This is correct but if you're a complete newbie, use leg press, calf machine, and other shit until failure. Controlling the weight and doing the exercise to failure is key.

You do the rep in a (all caps) controlled manner and go back to starting (all caps) slow. Don't be like the schmucks at the gym who try to silently boast to others by doing reps at a fast pace. Because they're idiots coasting on momentum and gravity when it should be their fucking muscles doing the work.

Does caffeine and/or other vasoconstrictors help with your condition or is the pathology something that goes around that/

5"3 100pounds

Squat 66 pounds 3x10
Deadlift 88 Pounds 1x5

My legs have grown and are way stronger then when I started because I had 3 years of severe atrophy, I am just wanting to focus more on them now I guess.

Coffee gives me anxiety, I was on a real good vasoconstrictor for 2 years that helped but it started messing with my kidneys just on cbd oil now.

>>41475828
is the atrophy part of your condition and will it prevent future gains or can you get stronger like a normal person? if you can progress normally I would suggest SS then move on to some intermediate program

also, out of interest, did your doctor tell you to grow your legs? Id image large legs would cause more blood to go to them leading to more pooling

Try mixing L-Theanine with your coffee. It's somewhat of a longshot but it should dampen the anxiety a bit (at least). Experiment with different amounts of L-Theanine.

It's worth a shot imo.

CONT.

or try getting a script of propranolol and see how it works.

From somewhere online: "...causes BOTH bronchoconstriction and reflex peripheral vasoconstriction."

Be careful though. 20 mgs doesn't feel like much to me. But my friend took one before a job interview and it hit him in the middle, turning him into a zombie. Everyone has a (somewhat) unique biochemistry.

Nah the atrophy is just from being bed/wheelchair ridden for 2-3 years. I should be able to gain like a normal person. Doctor recommends I cycle/row and do weights. She said the muscles pushes the blood up when I walk so I have more blood in my head and feel less tired.

Tried it already, just made me depressed and 20x worse :(

Well it only seems normal that your legs would be so weak after being bedridden for so long. It's really nothing to be worriee about you are just held back a bit. My advice is to keep doing SS and eat a small caloric surplus for a bit (200-300) and make sure to get your protons (1g proton/bodyweight+). Keep doing SS until you get stronger and hit 2pl8 or something then just switch off to an intermediate program.

Wish you luck homie.
