I love doing the partial laterals heavy as hell too, I’ve been supersetting them lately after doing hammer strength laterals, quite the nice burn and you’ll definitely feel them the next day!

I haven’t tried doing them on lying rear lateral flyes though, I will probably tomorrow when I hit shoulders in the afternoon

graduation weekend was a success. I finally got some sleep last night haha, but 4 straight days and nights of alcohol consumption has taken its toll. I dunno what I did but my lower back is in pain (prob trying to pick people up at the bars), so I’m either taking today off, or maybe hitting something easy. Here is how arms went down on saturday:

Kickbacks
4 sets of 15

Incline DB curls - had been awhile since I had done these. At this point I followed carl’s lead (he has some BIG ass arms)
25s x 10
35s x 8
40s x 8
45s x 8

Overhead EZ bar extensions - new movement for me, I liked a lot.
5 ascending sets, from 45lbs to 105lbs IIRC.

Deadstop bb curls
65 x 8
95 x 6
115 x 6
135 x 5 (I think, got on video, will post later)

Rope pressdowns
3-4 sets of 15-10 reps.

rev.grip/hammer/reg.grip giant set.
65lbs x 10 / 27.5s x 10 / 75lbs x 10 2 tiems through that. Some video footage.

Decline EZ-bar skulls
3 sets, up to 115 x 10 or so.

and that was it? gonna rest up today, put down some food, and see how I feel later.

And random vid:

790

Hola me llamo David

791

Oh mah gahd. Your arms iz so seksi.

792

This is why you curl :wink:

793

curls for da gurls!

Look at bug and those secksy arms… I bet you’re getting all the girls!

congrats on graduation man. Thats a big deal. You’re arms are lookin pretty sliced and diced in that vid. When i grow up I wanna have arms like Bug

794

I remember the first time I curled.

795

Looks like…fun. Eat some for me.

796

Just found this thread! Great progress, Bug. Kudos for sticking through the diet :slight_smile:

797

Are you down to 120 lbs yet? /jk

If you don’t mind… Take some pics of your arms in various poses (straight tri from the rear - not with the arm rotated to the side, but right from the back with elbows pointing straight back basically -, double-bi front and back, side chest, side tri, front relaxed…) as this is a good chance to finally see what your attachments /muscle bellies are actually like… I’m curious.

798

And FWIW your previous avatar (the semi-turned pose) pretty much was the best pose for your particular physique that I’ve seen. If you ever compete, use it! Make your legs look as big as you can in that one too and you got a winner. Really showed off how low your lat insertions are, your arms and delts looked good in that one too… Made it look like they’re actually strong points of yours.

799

CC, my girl has a pretty solid camera, so I’ll see if she can take some pics of me either this week or next.

Skipped legs yest. cuz my lower back is hurting like crazy (lol, silly drunk bug), so i hit chest today and I’ll hit legs probably thursday. I’ve decided that incline has felt HORRIBLE this whole diet (even worse than my other presses). can’t find a grip that feels good, can’t get into a groove. Gonna take 2-4 weeks off of incline pressing and then see what happens.

Even STARTED with incline today and it felt sooo bad. god.
bar
95 x 12
135 x 10, 10 - did a 2nd set cuz first didn’t even feel that good.
185 x 6 - eh
205 x 6 - eh
225 x 4 - eh
245 x 3 - lol, just didn’t feel good, was super heavy and slow, woudnt have gotten many more reps…
185 x 5, 5 (deadstop, 2 sec pause on chest)

Decline barbell - felt much better than incline. Used a pretty narrow grip, 2-3 inches inside the rings
135 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 10
275 x 6

Cable flies
3-4 sets with a good stretch and squeeze.

Need to be prioritizing the long head of my tri big time, so that refocus of effort begins today.

Overhead cable rope extensions
6 x 20
8 x 20
10 x 12
12 x 12
14 x 8 drop 9 x some drop 7 x some

Overhead EZ-bar extensions - was on the phone between sets dealing with some logistical stuff for this evening. Kind of distracting. The last set was bothering my left elbow, even with sleeves on. Might just work with lighter weight, slow negative, etc etc. I really like this movement tho.
75lbs x 10
95lbs x 8
105lbs x 10, 8

Incline one-armed DB skulls
20 x 10
25 x 10
30 x 10
35 x 10 drop 20’s x 20 (both arms)

and that was it.

800

You ever try doing a wider-gripped incline press? I feel that the wider grip helps me get a better stretch and feel it a lot more on the press…
