Scott, curious-- have you ever posted pics in here anywhere (or @ I.M.)? Not a call out at all-- I’ve followed several of your DC posts-- Good stuff and I know you’re a guru. Just curious.

Hahha ! I hear you man !
The picture on the right is from one year ago tough as I havent taken others yet, I might do soon.
Im guessing the width improvement can be mainly attributed to rack chins and lat stretch as the 2nd picture was about 10 months after starting DC and from the picture on the left.
Im surpised no one commented the Nemo poster ! lol 
Negative, bodybuilding took a seat way on the back burner for a long time(1.5-2 years) and my physique is showing that big time. Working with Shelby Starnes to get back in the game.

Hey deat, what’ve you been doing to flavor your pepto pro?
Personally I’ve been using waximaize (I know that’s controversial but I like the taste and I recover well with it) with unflavored pepto pro and it tastes great.

I’ve never had peptopro without artificial flavoring, from what I hear (you and others) it’s pretty bland.
The place I order it from for an extra seventy-five cents per pound will flavor it, the specific flavor I get is “watermelon wave”. It’s a very subtle taste.
I would guess it would be really easy to flavor with crystal light powder or something similar.

Thanks for the feedback, was just wondering if anybody had some super secret formula for making it taste good.
I’ve used a crystal light knock off and it masks the taste perfectly, it just gets a bit pricey to use on a regular basis.

Weird, I used black cherry waximaize and unflavored pepto pro and it tastes pretty good.
What flavors did you use?

Orange I think…
My new set up is so much better. The liquid flavor system is totally kickass. I toss some protein and BCAA in my Surge Workout Fuel, and shit kicks ass and tastes like heaven.

x2 on listening to Dorian regarding pausing contractions and resisting the negatives (instead of letting gravity do all the work)…[/quote]
Well, Dorian didn’t invent that…and I agree, most people should be doing that.
However, I am going to make a distinction. I do NOT think anyone but intermediate to advanced lifters should go overboard with holding contractions. I think their focus should be on getting their weight up first.
I hold my contractions now longer than ever before…especially for biceps. My arms are also looking better as a result.
BUT, I do not think I would have seen the same benefit if I was doing this while only curling 35lbs in each hand.[/quote]
Interesting point, I definately think that some training styles are more effective as you get stonger. I think high reps/ high volume is particularly ineffective for beginners.

Oh yeah and I had some really poopy form on the hs flat press, I was trying to sneak a few extra reps in (even though my pecs were already fried). My left shoulder feels a little sore. No big deal.
Here’s a shot after I got done training rows, after dropping the browns off at the superbowl.
