LOL… no, not huge at all. They’ve been hovering between (a smoothish) 18.5/18.75 for awhile now. With those, I’m exploding up and trying to control down, they’re not real smooth up real smooth down by any means. However, having said that, I’m not leaning back or using leg drive or any of that either.
I’m in that ‘they aint pretty but still feel it’ zone…

2nd Tuesday of the 5th week of the 14th month of the year that is the number that is one more than the year after.
Besides, I ain’t winning any shows looking like this.
With all this squatting going on, I think you’re cheating on the one bourbon, one squat, one beer ratio.
And looking like that, you’d win all the “Who the Girlz Wanna Cuddle With” shows.

Meat-- I’m loving these on ‘arm day’. I did these backwards in the Smith per C_C’s recommendation to take advantage of the bar path angle:

Lucky bastard, if I eat a least bit above maintenance it goes to the gut and nowhere else. If I remember right you used to be fat like I used to. It f’ed me up good.

We could have been twins but you seem to be blessed with better skin elasticity.
EDIT: Read a lot of the first part of the journal and its a impressive testamant to your effort.
