Haha, Hi! 
So Holy Shit! I’ll have to take pictures but I’m getting some sick muscles in my diaphragm area! No doubt all that bracing while doing pullovers!
Can’t wait to hit the gym tomorrow!

So… forgot to weigh myself last Friday. Been a bit pre-occupied with finding a job before I go homeless.
BUT, I did take some progress pics today. Before I show them, make sure you put them in context: I went up 30lbs this year, but then I decided to cut, so I don’t have much size, but I think I have some definition.
I took pics of flexed and unflexed, front and sides. Check em out:
Now, onto the important part:
Didn’t check the site before I hit the gym, my mistake. I ended up doing the same day as I did last:

Still training?
Hi dchris, thanks for checking in!
I haven’t been training since my last post, no. I’m still looking for work and am running out of money so I have higher priorities atm.
Hey guys, just checking in.
I did end up getting a job, but it’s in another city and the gym I used to go to obviously isn’t here.
I’m still getting settled but I imagine I’ll get to the gym in the next few weeks again.

Poor reading skills. My apologies. What @duketheslaya said, dumbbell rows.

You can do calf raises in the leg press if you like. If you haven’t got anything to shrugs with why not switch to plate raises (all the way over your head)? Lights up your traps like nothing else. Maybe try goblet squats instead of leg extensions.

I can attest to this. It’s an intense finisher for your delts and traps.

Thanks guys!
I’ll give those a try.
I had thought of using the leg press for calf raises but I thought it wouldn’t be as good because your body isn’t straight, but I’ll try it.
