Ken has haters? Power is right, people don’t know how to work hard so they assume that others are as dumb and unmotivated as them. So the only way for you to do better than them is by a shortcut.
TBH, I read “Bench getting easier. My naked blah blah blah” 
But with the new pics it’s understandable.
But you’re doing awesome, you definetely put on some size and the taper (and the beloved hip dip, yum) is a good look on you.
Power: Agreed man. Haters always gonna hate, but what can we do besides lifting and living right ? Maybe one day the other people will see that they can do what they wanna do, or get where they wanna get, if they get their lazy ass the hell out of their couch and sweat a bit. Or a lot.
About the progress, now that I look at it I find it hard to believe that I made this all this progress in so short time, I remember posting sometime ago that I’d settle for 190, now that I’m 210 I realize that was kind of a stupid goal to set. If it wasn’t for the pics and the log, I think the people who read the log would call all this BS.
Thanks for posting bro, welcome to the log.
Nikki: You don’t know how much it means to me to have someone saying that I actually look good. People I know actually give me shit for getting stronger and bigger, and everyone just says I’ll end up ugly and disproportional, oh well, haters gonna hate!
Thank you for posting again, and that’s for the compliments, they made my day. Come post nice things about me often and I’ll post more pics on the TILF thread, deal ? Haha!

About today:
Don’t watch the Matt Kroc’s Quad Tear video before going to the Gym to Squat. Big mistake, made me afraid to do the drop sets plus the lunges plus the psych-up. If one day my Quads dare to tear on me, I’ll stab them for the treason and the failure.
I stuggled and trembled like hell in the walking lunges, too much weight. Legs hurting, barelly managed to walk back home. I don’t rest between sets when I’m doing crazy training like this, that’s my Cardio/GPP/whatever.

I definitely respond better to high volume, I’m seeing amazing growth in my traps and my delts are getting cannon-ball like. Front delts burned like fire today due to yesterday benching but I did alright.

About Today:
Didn’t even felt tired today.
I decided to add some exercices, the plan was to pump/strech/pump/strech the chest, and I think it worked well, even though I like to bench using the Westside technique, it always pumps me up. My bench metod is probably wrong, upperback tightness always goes to hell since nobody seems to be able to do a proper lift off, that and I can’t push with my heels since the floor makes my feet slide away from the bench.

Then I decided to get the fuck out of there because I was too pissed off and I would probably kill the idiot who sat in the safety pins during the box squats, I have a really big problem with my temper so I got out and kicked the hell out of a punching bag along the way.
I’m sorry about that immature jerk.

I find it funny how far I am deviating from my original goals. I wanted to Powerlift, now I’m bodybuilding.
I fell I need to do some explaning, even if there isn’t anyone reading, I usually read what I write here to myself over and over and over. I love Strength training, but I can’t do it under the current circustances, I’m barrely allowed to use chalk and deadlift, I wonder what would happen if I started bringing chains and bands to the gym to train for ME work. That’s not the issue, I can train without ME work, in fact, there is no issue and I won’t lie, I don’t know dick about powerlifting, nobody here seems to know dick about strength training. Before I move on to create my own PL program, I’ll first learn about it, and learn it WELL, and until then, I’ll do what I can with what I have. What matter is that I’m not making excuses, I’m getting big, lean, fast, stronger, maybe not stronger in the way I want to, but still counts, I’m getting shit done and working my ass off.
Good job Delta, here’s a cookie.
Yea, we’re reading. I think you’re doing just great. It’s good to stop few times a year and check one’s bearing and see whether the direction is still right (the original) or is something perhaps fundamentally changed. Maybe few detours need to be taken, but that doesn’t mean you still don’t plan to arrive to the right destination. This writing turned out very odd…maybe I’ve been on the road too long this summer.
You sure can have your cookie.

I was felling strong on the rows but after the T-Bars, whenever I put more weight on the bar for the Yates/BB row I started to use leg drive. I lost count on the Pull-Up reps since I was focusing on feeling my back working, so what I have posted here is an aproximate number, I also did everything as close from dead hang as I could.
It seems that I change my mentality/goals quite frequently in terms of my training.
I think of it as a sign of maturing.
It’s when you learn what you really want, not what others want and what you may think that you want.
"If I could recover and had the time, I’d be in the gym seven days a week. The more I train the better I can control my stress, blood pressure and other issues. It also allows me to think better and work longer.
If I have my time “away” and just “bust my ass” for a while, when I get back to the “shit”, it doesn’t smell so bad. Thus I’m better equipped to deal with anything that gets tossed my way, even willing and waiting to catch it. WANTING to catch it. WANTING it tossed my way instead of in any other direction. In some ways I HAVE to have it."
