Haha my av is pretty old - wouldn’t call it a progress pic :slight_smile:

I’ve been putting off taking new ones since the past few months have just been spent getting back to where I was around mid June. Maybe in the next week or so I’ll throw some up. Finally on summer break and my work has slowed down a lot!

I’m around 215. Bounces a little over/under depending on water I guess.

so this indian guy came up to me after my workset of rackpulls, patted me on the back and told me that i inspired him and his friend. weeeeirrrrrdddd.

but it wouldn’t be called “Ball Refill” then

k i am not doing flat bench anymore. I added 5 lbs and lost 2 reps, and it has been stalling out anyways and having such shitty success on my first exercise puts me in a bad mood. i don’t even know why its not going up since my CGBP is going up fast as are the rest of my delt/chest/tri exercises. maybe i just suck at it. either way not worth doing.
