showoff.
Lol, thanks guys : )
Damn Evan, looking huge AND lean in the new avi. Looks like you added some shoulder/back width and arm size since that last avi pic.
Good work Evan, inspiring progress.
@ Blaze: Thanks bro! I’ve been working hard to bring up my delts, arms, and lat width…I think I’ve made some good progress so far.
@ Chi: Thanks brotha, been pushing it really hard lately and it’s paying off!
dude, are you eating for mass b/c you’re looking thick and lean all at once. Your lower lats look like they’re folding into your back - basically, you’re jacked

Lol, thanks bro!
My diet has been very off the past week since I’m finishing up finals, but right now I’m eating just a bit of a caloric excess, not too much though…im going to keep eating like this most likely until mid June and then in late June my contest prep will start for the Yorton Cup in October.
Well, good work reppin the philosophy crew bro! I cannot wait to jump on the gaining train and start making some effing progress! Next week! I’m going to be right there with you (in a few years)
X2 on what everybody else said on your progress pics. Looking jacked.
Back pic is one of the best I’ve seen. Inspiring stuff.
@ Hiss: Thanks bro, and good to hear it!!
@ Dove: Thanks bro, appreciate the comments!
@ Xander: Thanks man! Means a lot!

Just another quick session. This will be the last time I train before Thursday, when I will start my summer split. I weighed in today at 217 on one of those super accurate electric scales on an empty stomach (except for some water), so I am pleased with that.
Decline felt amazing today. Prob could have cranked out 315 x 15-20, and even though that’s on the smith, that’s not bad. I am going to start doing Pullups more often, as I really like them and can always feel my back a ton doing them.

I am starting my contest prep for the Yorton Cup on October 29th and am working with Layne Norton for my contest prep. This is why you are seeing me doing PW cardio.
Very strong workout today. 315 felt great and 275 x 10 was nice…inclines on both HS and on barbell were strong…vacation did me some good after all : )
My girlfriend and I decided to try out the Cauliflower Pizza, and it was absolutely amazing…here’s a pic.
you’re an asshole.
