KD13 Not Very Strongman

Upper/mid back is getting more detail, lats lagging a littl, poor posing and high lat insertions.

Did 15k on an advanced mountain bike route yesterday which is something I have never done before, way out of my depths but didnt fall off or injure myself though!

The couple times I’ve done that have been way out of my depth too, and what was the most tiring was me instinctively death-gripping the handlebars from pure fear of falling/dying

Ha ha yeah, blisters on my hands are pretty bad! And my face and neck hurt from grimacing and tensing in anticipation of a fall. Lol

Did I miss some side thread or is this an autocorrect because you talk about dinosaurs so much?

I was wondering the same thing!

Ha ha, brachialis just reminds me of dinosaurs. Especially after this…

Back is getting thicker I think, as much as I’m not enjoying my home back sessions I think they are effective.

Dude still spends like 7 days a week training IFBB pros in Venice Golds. Legend!

Back looking awesome too dude.

Thanks. I’m starting a bit of trap specialisation for a few weeks to bring them up a bit and obviously my erectors are lacking so need to make sure I’m consistent with the back extension.

I think I may start wearing a belt every session as Charles seems pretty big on it.

Needed a bit more quality in tonight’s back session so lowered the weights and did a few more sets.

Never bonus, always necessary :grinning:

Back / arms looking good

What’s this? I can’t picture it.

Maybe squatting or lunging would be a better description, to change the angle. Here is a vid…

Changes the strength curve so the weight is heaviest in the lengthened position but lighter in the shortened position. So matches the strength curve of the lats better. Which is prob why I could load it up so much.

He moves to the kneeling position second.
