not bad man. i see you’ve hit your bulking goal, now phase 2! have you started the extra conditioning?
looks like you have some inner-thigh meat, that’s good. do you think that comes from sumo deadlifting?
i have an idea for your legs and grip, take it or leave it: dumbbell walking lunges (without straps) will tax your grip and build your legs. long steps for the glutes and hammies, short steps for the quads (apparently). they would probably be interchangeable with your split squats. throw on some straps and take more steps to tax your traps and stamina as well.
JK man but seriously looking way bigger, nice job.
Also grettiron, I dunno about you but I can’t use near heavy enough dumbells to really tax my grip with walking lunges. Something like doing farmer’s walks for some of the cardio you’re doing could be a better grip solution.
Yea I started doing complexes on 2 off days, which included today. I am gonna try to lose the fat slowely, so I can maintain the 180 range.
Dumbells in my gym stop at the 90’s, so maybe I’ll do what I can.

Nick! I signed up buddy and I am going to start working out today, but I will have to start out easy for the first 2 weeks cause it has been a while as you know. I swallowed a raw egg as well but I had to mix up the yoke ahahaha. Sammy was laughing at me so I made her go away ahaha. In 2 weeks I will start my own thread and I am pretty excited.
Hey man great log noticed alot of complaints about grip strength though, wondering if you have tried holding on to a towel for chinups, deadlifts etc? I did this for a few weeks and found grip strength and forearm size grew considerable.
Wrap two towels around the bar where you would normaly grip and try lifting just holding the towels, also i have heard using thicker bars helps to increase grip strength although have not used them myself.
