That’s true, but I really hate tomatoes lol!
@SvenG arms are up close to 1.5” larger than the last time I weighed 190 in 2021! Definitely a great measure of progress over the last 4 years

Absolutely proper back and Hamstring day! Really just hammered everything and got a crazy pump (as usual)! Continuing to really try to refine and perfect my form. Ran into some buddies at the start of the workout, they were deadlifting 335 and were joking with me, “is this your Warmup?” And I said “yeah, maybe!” And busted out a quick set of 5! Felt great honestly! Glad to see I can still bust out an easy five totally cold with 335 with no warmup, even though I haven’t done conventional deadlift in a bit! Finished with some dumbbell Romanians, which was the brutal icing on the cake! So hyped for shoulders and arms tomorrow!

Sweater weather is going to be coming soon around here and they’ll be put away, at least part time! In the meantime, I have to abide by the “suns out, guns out” philosophy!
I hit the aforementioned shoulders and arms again today! Boy, what a glorious and whimsical day it is to create such a wondrous arm pump! Starting things off with a phenomenal delt pump was beautiful too! The Overhead fly is really one of my favorites, as well as a favorite of the great Serge Nubret! Also got my fantasy football draft done tonight! Awesome day!

Forgot to update the log earlier. Is this site damn near unreadable for anyone else on mobile right now? The text is way oversized, tracking off the right edge of the screen and I have to hold my phone in landscape mode just to read any posts or articles. Until it gets fixed, I’ll probably just be updating my log and that’s about it.
This truly was a phenomenal quad and chest day!! My quads were so freaking pumped and sore by the time I finished squats! The leg press and extensions were so brutal to get through after such thorough destruction of the quads on squats! The chest workout was absolute money as always! The pump was what one might call “sick” or “money”!

Yes, we’ve got a thread going with complaints. I just tagged the big bosses for traction.

I’m glad I’m not the only one, hopefully they roll out a fix soon because the site is basically unusable right now. The fonts are all huge too. At least the elders won’t have to put their readers on to check the site out lol

Rest day quads. Wish there were looking like this at my show! Definitely going to be a lot more sharp next time around!

Had just a phenomenal back and Hamstring day. Really continuing to refine my technique! Experimented with 5 second isometric holds in the bottom of Romanian deadlifts which were just extremely excruciatingly brutal on my hamstrings and grip! I could feel the tanktop getting really tight on my lats as I got through the session, it was insane! Also tried something new on Calf Raises which felt incredibly good! It follows the propulsion/gait cycle if you happen to know anything about that.

Dude that’s an impressive physique.
Very rugged, old school lines.
Although late, I wanted to comment on the competition photo.
Indeed the other guys look more…bodybuilding stage ready. But, this doesn’t mean that their physique is better, it means that that’s what we expected to see in modern bodybuilding shows.
You look like an warrior statue next to them. It’s like someone copied and pasted some tanned gym bros next to a Frank Frazetta book cover hero.

I definitely plan to refine the look and add some more Separation to my lower body as I compete more and continue to add size all around! I saw this photo the other day and really thought, yes this is the look I love!

The arm pump was absolutely devious today! The vascularity was absolutely Roadmap, the delts were cannonball! I’m trying to blow minds and change lives one freakish pump at a time!
Wrestling promos aside, this workout was such a satisfying one! I always say that arm day is the best day and that’s a shoot brother! Calves were so sore this morning, it was brutal putting my feet on the floor when I got out of bed!

I love these old school black and white photos. I don’t know if it is the lighting, the oil, or the black and white photos but these old school bodybuilders always seem to have a muscle hardness and density that is not evident with todays bodybuilders even though current BB’s are much leaner.
