What pre-workout would you suggest then? I always went with JACK3D, but it seemed that bodybuilding.com didn't sell it on their site anymore.

I think MuscleTech is pretty much garbage, however, I have heard a few people say Neurocore isn't bad.

Plasmatic. Nitraflex. Both are quality imo. Jack3d is the best though.

I am not a big pre-workout person, just eat a good meal with lean protein and complex carbs about an hour to an hour and a half before workout and you will be good to go.

I don't do 1RM's... Don't see the point other than lame-ass bragging rights.

Most of my sets tend to be 4x8's, I'll drop to 3-5 reps if I'm trying to put up more weight, 8-10 if I'm really feeling it.

Squat: usually in the neighborhood of 365lbs
Bench: 95-110lb dumbells (haven't done barbell in months)
Shrug: ~455lbs
Deadlift: 315

Just some general stuff, upper chest and shoulders can be difficult for me because of a bad rotator cuff and damaged cartilage in my left shoulder but I get it done.
Doing legs is so overrated. I can understand working calves out but nobody even hardly sees your upper legs.

A lot of people who know what they are doing say your upper body will resist development if your legs are dragging behind.

I had your mindset for a long time, but I am so happy with my legs. I've lifted them consistently for 18 months now, and am satisfied with the results....even if only one other person sees them.

Doing legs gives me a better overall feeling. I just feel better.

He's trolling, but just to take it seriously...

It's widely accepted that even if you're a guy who prefers to focus on upper body, not working out legs holds you back in a big way.

It's still noticeable. Not saying I'd be the guy to call you chicken legs and start clucking, but if somebody else did then I'd laugh.

I've noticed most guys who just focus on calves can rip them out, but they still don't come close to matching their arms, and they tend to look silly. I think most people have to hit their thighs to get their calves right.

Moderate weight squats with a toe stand after every rep is the best.
