How have your gains been while on IF so far?
I never really got a good run at it to see for myself in any decisive way. My schedule has been pretty fucked this summer (constantly changing night/early morning shifts in work) so I’m hoping once I settle back into college I can fully commit to it again.

So far I can’t complain about how I’m doing while IFing. Definitely give it more of a run once your schedule settles.

Those pulls looked ridic easy broham, looking real strong.
Do you have a t-bar attachment, or was that just some dude you asked to stand on the end of the bar? I find tbars to awkward to set up right and even with dumbells on one end once I go over 3 plates I can’t stop it tipping forward…

Thanks man. Nah, no attachment. I just got my brother to stand on the end of the bar. Yeah it is annoying to set it up, thankfully I can just get my brother to stand on the other end and not have to fuss about putting a DB on the other end and what not.

Focused on leg drive. If I let the bar drift too close to my face as I lower it, it makes it harder to press. Grinded a little bit during the last 3 sets.

After the 1st set I thought it would be fine, but I was so wrong once I began the next set lol.
Some progress pics. I’m weighing 220 lbs. Over the past 2 months or so of IFing, I’ve gained 3 or so pounds. Fortunately, I think my back has come up a bit. Unfortunately I think my belly has come up a bit too. I over did the carbs a bit over the past two months, but have begun to keep things more in check.

EDIT: I also have noticed some chest growth as well as added stretch marks in the pec-delt tie in area.
Looking great dude, Very solid through the back. Lats, triceps and traps all look really good from that rear shot. Also some strong pressing in your last session. I have been lurking in your log for awhile and I am impressed with your progress. Ive just started a log myself and thought its about time I comment in yours:) keep trucking!

No shit, broseph. Tuck the elbows more and control the bar on the way down. You natural tendency to bring something long and phallic towards your face is NOT how you perform the bench press, LOL
Back’s looking thicker, fo sho
