You guys think this MM pose looks better? I’m trying different variations. It will be nice when I have some roundness in my triceps, damn them!
I dunno dude, that picture makes you look leaner and smaller.
But that might just be 2 weeks of manual labor without any food.
lol ouch[/quote]
I mean no disrespect my brother from another mother, just giving my honest opinion.
I fail to see how you weighing the same and being leaner is a bad thing? Go find a friend with a really nice camera and get some good shots. It looks like your using a cell phone

I don’t think he meant that to be a put down…but I agree. You look leaner, but less massive…though I think the look overall IS better than the other one from your thread. But you don’t have that same “DAMN THAT MOFO IS HUGE” look in this pic. Could be the lighting though, you were all lit up and yellow/orange in the other pic. lol[/quote]
agreed, your first picture I could have almost confused it for me except your traps are massive

and
Dude you look thick as fuck, just get us some better quality shots and you’ll look a lot better in them.
Just got back from a vacation to the states. Nutrition out there wasn’t exactly stellar, so I want to be part of the whole recomp craze that’s swept the BOI. I’m wondering where to place my kkals, and how to divide them. So far I’m thinking about 400g protein, 130g fats and low carb on non workout days, adding in 120g of peri workout carbs when I work out. And then obviously FMC. Sound like a plan?

Definitely don’t look small here! lol
Chest and Bis Today
Incline DB
40’s x 12
55’s x 8
70’s x 4
85’s x 10(+1 rep)
x7
70’s x 11 (these were all done in the bottom 1/2 or so of the ROM to keep tension on the pecs)
Incline Flyes
30’s x 2 sets
I didnt really count reps on these sets, I just focused on pausing to get a good stretch at the bottom and squeezing the shit out of my pecs at the top.
EZ Curl
Bar x 15 (warm up)
75x8
105x4 (+10 pounds -8 reps lol wtf?)
85x15
I was gonna chalk the 105x4 up to just having a bad day, but I improved on my second set (went from 13 reps to 15 reps), so maybe 10 pounds was just too big of a jump when only using ~100 pounds?
Pinwheel Curl
25’s x 12 (I did this set with the little wrist tilt at the top that Dirty Gerdy mentioned in an earlier BOI)
45’s x 8
60’s x 15 (+3 reps)
50’s x 10 (real strict, good set)
Concentration Curl
15 x 15R, 15L
20 x 12R, 12L
Way - you look like a puny little bitch. Is that what you want to hear? Haha. You’re fine, d00d. Pictures often times don’t do physiques justice. You’re still a hoss.
I was back at my home-town gym today. My school gym is now closed for 2 weeks, so it’s either drive 30 min to a gym or de-load and focus purely on fat loss the next two weeks. We’ll see.
[u]Shoulder Press Machine[/u]
50 x 10
90 x 4
110 x 2
150 x 8
[u]Cable Laterals[/u]
50 x 8
110 x 8 (Too much weight.)
[u]Racl Pulls from knee[/u]
135 x 8
225 x 3
315 x 1
465 x 6
430 x 6 (oops)
^ I moved the position of these up because I felt that my back was rounding on the lower position. I’m going to, slowly, increase ROM on these over time.
[u]Pulldowns[/u]
170 x 6
230 x 3
305 x 10 (Machine max-out)
And then 15 minutes of high-flyin’ ass-kickin’ HIIT to make up for lots of gin and tonics last night.
So Ben White is apparently training for his powerlifting match against JJ at my gym. Saw him there this morning before morning cardio. Pretty cool. I hope to see him actually work out before I leave town.
Shoulders/Back
BB Military:
LT: 165 x 8/145 x 14
TT: 170 x 6/150 x 12
first set is 6-8 then 10-12. Going for 8 reps with 170 next time
DB Laterals:
LT: 40 x 10/35 x 13
TT: 40 x 12/35 x 15
Wanted to hit 11+ reps on these before going up to the 45s.
My arms feel DEAD after these. Not a bad feeling; just that really “light” or fatigued sensation in my delts
Cable laterals:
LT: 30 x 15
TT: 35 x 15
Rack pulls: work in progress
1 arm T-Bar rows: really like these. I don’t think i’ll ever go back to BB rows. I don’t feel the muscles working as much and my lower back is suspect.
LT: 2 plates x 15
TT: 2 plates + 10 x 16
seated cable rows:
LT: 150 x 15
TT: 157.5 x 15
I like these as a finisher for back thickness.
Lat pulldowns:
215 x 8
I might have to do these at the beginning. I’m torched by the time I do these and my numbers show. I loved these when doing DC (probably because it was the first back movement of the day and I had more energy) but they suck now lol. Gonna lower the weight next time.
Highlight of todays workout. One of my favorite Chest/Back combos, and very easy to do in a busy gym.
Flat bench -135x12/185x5/205x5/225x5/245x5
supersetted
BB row -135x12/185x5/205x5/225x5/245x5
time for food, gonna try to get down 2 lbs of ground chicken between now and when I go out for a friends birthday tonight.

Nice workout man, moving some good weight all around.
I hate my computer. There’s something wrong with my kodak program thing. Still working on fixing it
Back Squat: 142.5 *8 ← Top Set
Next week i’m considering switching off my current program, this 90 sec rest is doing my head in.

Could you explain how your doing your 1 arm tbar rows? Is it anything like this vid?
that vid of the 1 arm t-bar rows is the fucking shit, I am gonna start doing those immediately.

check this one out.
they start at .35 sec in
Delts/Back 2
DB Shoulder Press : 85s x 11, drop 70s x to failure
*No spot getting DBs up and still +2 reps, made me happy.
Cybex Lateral Raise Machine : #14 x 9, drop #11 x to failure
Plate Loaded Lat Pulldown : 2pps+25s x 10
*Never done these before…I wasn’t feeling shit in my lats from weighted chins so I decided to try these. LOTS of room for progression, the thing can hold like 6 plates per side…good stuff.
Oldschool T-bar Row : 7plates x 10
*So I stalled here, but its because of grip - that shit is hard to hold onto with no straps or anything. Might have to strap up. Also I kind of fucked up my breathing when getting it off the ground and had to hold it for a second to catch my breath lol
DB Shrugs : 120s x 15, 145s x 15
