My background: 39 years young, 6 feet tall, 230lbs, been working out for 20 years. Not a bodybuilder or powerlifter - just a gym rat who cares about his physique. Dabbled in AAS for 20 years - serious cycles for around 10. I'm routinely off cycle natty lifting. Recent douchey pre-cycle gym pic attached.
Over the years I have chronically skipped leg day with the exception of deads which I love doing. Fucking problem 5 weeks into my summer cycle - seriously sprained my arm which left me unable to lift upper body for several weeks. Figure this is an opportunity to add mass to my lower body for once in my life but need advice - have two problems.
First, for esthetic purposes, I've worked hard to develop my traps, shoulders, rear delts. Feel like it has effected my flexibility to the point where can't get by arms in the proper position to hold the bar when I squat. Can't reach back that far. Any advice besides just daily stretching to increase that flexibility?
Secondly, any advice to add mass to legs besides the obviously answer (heavy squats, leg press and deads)? Thanks bros, appreciate you all.
Happy memorial day weekend; remember our fallen soldiers.
