Both pics looked good! You looked leaner/more cut in the 2nd pic. It all comes down to what you prefer.
Since you are neither powerlifting nor Olympic lifting, you can squat however you want as long as you feel the muscles you want to work, working; that plus not experiencing any pain caused by the way you squat. My .02.
Not experiencing pain is the important part. My hernia happened while leaning too far forward on a squat ( damn rep 15 of “ye olde 20 rep squat program”).
Thanks for the critique guys, yes we can always improve!! I played around with my form on BS and I stayed upright much better, but only till I hit that 115 mark. Ill have to drop down and stay there while i work on my glute strength etc. Having to fight getting my arms together (tight right shoulder) does make it more challenging. Ill post another vid as i progress.
I never mind having to front squat in the mean time Form stays nice at 105, so next week Ill work on sets for these. My top rep was 115. Did a few singles there.
KP Thanks, I was pretty happy with that DL.

and GHR going as slow as i could and dropping to hands. Oh and leg press, feet close, feet wide.
Mmm, chocolate chip cookies wrapped in bacon sound lovely, with some chilli whipped cream on top. That is what you you actually ate right?
Lovely pics too, you have that bubble butt going on.

Well I had a really small bowl of that batch above, but i just made another really big batch and i had THE biggest bowl and two corn cake things…I blew a little less than half my cals for the day…but
it
was
worth it!
Umm, I suppose that is what you get when you haz the fat sandwiched in with a bit of muscle
Well maybe your thinking that because i dont do many bi pose pics? This was the 10 month ago one, i dont see a difference, but i should if i stick to the plan, which I will.

Hey , didnt see you up there PG. I am the same weight in both pics. I know what he would say.
How the hell are you? Last you updated us, you sounded like you were backing off heavier weight, so you must have da sexy lean look going on?

Suns out, guns out. Your work is paying big dividends.
Lol on the arm love guys, its been a few weeks and I am sticking with it. Not getting the accessory volume that makes me want to drop it, so the little extra Im doing is enough to keep me …, well doing it. Ill have to look better at my white board, I think this was week 3, although I may have added chins/dips/pushups to upper B - so could be why i thought i did 4 weeks. Whatever.
BENCH FLAT
top set only
92/5/5/6/5 I got slower with my reps as i went along. This felt good, although I can always work on staying tighter. I did give a little pulse thing on that last rep as I wanted to pause it for some reason, and thats sorta what just happened. I could easily have done a 5th set, not sure why i didn’t.
DIPS
5,5,5,5=20 <am trying to keep these to 3 sets, but i seem to get stronger as i go. Maybe try sets of 2 to warm up and then count the 3 sets.
CHINS
2,2,2,2,2=10
Ghetto row
60/8 55/3x8
DELT Homicide
2x 20 each laying 15# standing 20# cable (alt no rest between sets)
combo
push ups & bi curls
10,10,10
curls 15# (together) 15,15,15 hate alternating as i want it over with so …
