Notes - good workout, all these exercises for back are done with 0 momentum and just the lat, hoping to fix some imbalances.
I think I will do my heavy bicep work on tricep day, which is thurs and do light biceps on back day. Just too fried from all the back movements to have a solid bi day.

Thanks bud, second set of flat actually felt easier than the first. Was slightly annoyed with my ass coming up just a little bit.
I think I found a solution though…You need to tuck those feet, but you gotta also push them out as wide as you can. I tried it after I read something after the workout and it felt like it’d be impossible for them to come up. You also need to angle your hips down toward the bench.
I like the fact that your lat is creeping out from behind. Any back shots? Looking very lean and big man. You really need to get in the sun though. Run without a shirt or somethign lol
Will get a tan soon LMAO, fucking A fellas give a white boy some slack…I don’t want no skin cancer, but seriously the white light and my german irish ancestory ain’t helping…
Here is 2.75 years progress…spamming the pic a little.
Yeah man, lats are kind of ridiculous, popping out like that. You look pretty ‘dense’ if that makes sense. Plus at 6’2" I’d think you’d have to be a lot heavier to look as big as you do. Definitely motivational for a tall guy like me.
Thanks for the tip on the leg drive. I think I know what you mean, I’ll try it out tmrw on my Bench day. So basically you mean you not only tuck back on your toes, but keep the feet wide as well?
Looking good Austin. Enjoyed the alcohol video, I’m more of a hard spirit and diet mixer fan myself (Chaos & Pain style, check it out of you haven’t), I feel like they are several times better body comp wise though most likely pretty similar in general heath damage. We both like house/club music and having a good time but both have big goals, so it’s interesting to see how you structure your stuff. I think I’ll be on one heavy night a week on average whilst on this bulk and in all honestly feel like I have a lot of life left to live/enjoy. Life balance is harder as a single guy, when you have a girl I find it very easy to sack off drinking altogether.
Thanks guys, somehow I made a post and it never went through…
Spidey, I’ll grab a vid coming up but yes, not only tuck hard, but spread your feet out hard as well.
Jake, definitely agree. I’d prefer once every 2 weeks myself, just makes going out more fun. I have also had better luck with women in an environment where I am sober, like on campus or in the dorms, than out at a loud bar blasting music. I like to meet the girls and then take them to the bar, but yeah being wifed up definitely gives you a good excuse to take it easy and not go out as much.

Maybe cardio tonight, very busy with some family personal stuff so I’ll be getting around to everyone’s journals soon, bear with me.
Thanks for checking in Coyote, I really appreciate it, always nice to remember where you started. A lot of times we got too caught up in the present, might have a bad workout, shitty day etc., but you gotta reflect on the big picture, all the time you’ve put it…
