Bench Press: 1x10-30kg, 1x8- 35kg, 1x6-40kg, 3x5-45kg

  • felt really good- I think I’m finally getting the hang of the volume. The last sets of squats were definitely a mental grind, legs dead. Bench felt good and strong- definitely slacked a bit no pace

I’m up a bit ( probably unemptied bowels) but I woke up looking amazing- I guess I’m doing something right

Legs feel dead but somehow still have the strength to do the job, Weird feeling isnt it? I still get that, especially on deadlift day, you think about the last set of 5 and think surely I dont have anything left for that. But you get down and the weight moves.

Bigger + leaner is living the dream.

You look great. Upping your calories is a good decision. You’ll only gain muscle. The arms, awesome, love the vascularity!

Thanks!

LOL That is 100% genetic. If it’s hot enough, I can have “ab veins” even though my 6 pack is barely visible

It’s not genetic. You have worked hard and it shows. The delts are nice too! Good work! I’d encourage you to bump your calories and get jacked.

You look great, but I think it’s the same like before. May it’s only water retention and glycogen. You must to eat at least 4000 adidtional calories to gain 1 kg pure muscle. Did you?

I definitely didn’t gain 1kg of muscle. It’s probably because I didn’t poop this morning :laughing:

Why there’s no other reaction exept “like”. One :sweat_smile: would be more proper. What the hell I just found? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
