After sprints on Sunday and then meal prep photo. Although the meal prep photo doesn’t show progress it has me with a bent arm, the type of photo every bodybuilder loves because of the excuse to flex an arm.

That’s interesting, because I personally love the high frequency thing myself and it’s worked well with no injuries for me. I don’t post much here any more but to each their own. I think the split you see the most results from tends to reflect your personality traits, just like the diet you see the best results from reflects your eating psychology (same thing over and over, variety, cycling, low carb, 6-8 meals a day, 3 meals + snack, etc.)

Personally I am of the opinion that psychological factors are at as important as the physical ones.

Nice thread Brick! Will be checking in

Agree here, but I think it also depends on the reason it’s a weak muscle group. There are a number of reasons it could be weak visually, some of them might just need the ‘tack on’ approach and others need more intensive stuff. In general though, yeah I prefer to hammer a weak group harder than tacking it on the end.

Thanks for the posts!

Hi Aragorn
Nice to see you back here. I would love to hear more about the psychological relationships regarding the workout and eating plans you’re talking about. You can post in a separate thread if you wish.

“Semblence of abs?”

Semblance of abs, vascularity in the arms, and separation in the quads qualifies someone as lean.

Love the farmers tan. Gotta work on evening that out before stage time -lol.

Legs are coming in ahead of the upper body, which is rare. Lookin’ damn good in a relatively short time.

Digging the updates, Brick! For all of your chest lamentations,
side chest is actually a really solid pose for you, in my opinion.

Thank you! Perhaps my chest is not terrible but my shoulders and arms overpower it.

My delts overpowered my chest for a while too, but you’d be surprised how much different things can look After an intelligent cut.

that’s actually exactly what I was going to say. It’s not that you’ve a weak chest - your arms and delts are just huge so it’s difficult to give you any sympathy
