Looking great bro …. Rear shots you look wicked, triceps Look great as does your traps and rear delts , backs is brilliant. You bring the rest of your delts up and your biceps and be on a different level . Don’t get me wrong you look great fella but your right at that point of changing levels
On it my man, mirror speaks for itself, thank for the critique very much appreciated!!!
Looking strong brother!
GH?
Thanks brother, yes just doing 2.5 iu before bed, old school....
Great look, I really like that taper from the back, even in a relaxed position it shows well.
Is your height accurate? Your arms look long. Your triceps and shoulders may be taking over a bit on your chest work. Start every chest day with some kind of deep stretched fly or fly/press variant. Get that blood in the muscle and pre-fatigue the pecs before any heavy pressing.
Big + from the Beard
Shoulders and tris are taking over defenetly, gonna back of those for abit and focus on chest, yes that my eight I guess I long arms or its an illusion cause over couple of muscle groups that over power, thanksfor the critique brother...
Looking like a unit to me bro.
Thank you brother, take that for motivation for Tommorows international leg day....
What movements do you do for your back mate - do you do deads?
Stopped doing deads about 4 years ago, getting old some movements like dead and flat bench barbell I do on the Smith machine these days
Wide grip lat pull down behind the head
Bent over t bar rows
And my third exercise I usually do a new one every time
Ditch the wide grip
Replace with single arm neutral grip, firing all that intensity into one lat at a time has really helped me take density, size, and detail to that next level. The back is a huge muscle so it makes sense that isolating sides could have benefit. Both the CNS energy needed to maximally stimulate the tissue and the oxygen debt accrued are extremely high. You can still throw some wide grips in after the tbar rows if you like them as more of a pump/burnout movement.
Might do that will see..
Is your DOB correct - you are only 35?
Also been lifting since I was 15, pretty consistently, 20 years grinding more or less, and 8 years of stage time
Lol ya why? Ex military got that type of milage on me, they also took my hair!!
LMAO Just with you saying you are getting Old in your previous comment!! 35 ain't old buddy - Damn I'm 44 Lol You find you are okay till 40 then for some reason the injuries begin to come.
That's what I've heard, man been lifting since I was 15, at 21 started the cycle thing at 25 I did my first competition and won the overall at 31, won the same show boston Loyd won the year before, gotta say that mofo was crazy but when I so him backstage the year before I won the overall, that dude looked sick in 2014 looked like a fucking black night on steroids, that's the only year he looked great.
He was only really around briefly just as I got into steroids, I didn't really know who he was or much about him until he suddenly died. It was always going to happen though with the blood pressure he was regularly running. I watched one of his vids where he said his BP was normally at 200/110 plus and he was laughing about it. I honestly don't know how someone can walk around with it at that pressure, let along train on it when it will go up even higher.
High blood pressure and kidney disfunction don't match, almost a death sentence, like in this case, I also met Ariella palumbo his wife, she was hot
What are you doing for chest development bro? What have you tried?
Ime, when you have a lagging body group it really helps to prioritize it twice a week or at least every 4-5 days, and back off wherever your strong points are hitting them less often. Sticking with progressive overload. Periodization. Optimal nutrition rest and supplementation.
Yep that's what I'm doing
With some body parts I found less is more. Like I would hit biceps 2 times a week. Once in back and biceps and then again on arm day. And they wouldn’t grow at all. I dropped arm day and do very little for them on back day, just doing the heavy pulling movements as been enough and they started growing. But that’s just me I guess
Absolutely agree with less is more, in fact I'm backing off the dominant muscles for a bit.
For me not all muscle groups need the same thing. Like i said above biceps needed more rest or less volume to grow but my chest seems to respond Better with more, or at least more frequent training. If I only hit it once a week, it seems to almost start shrinking by the next chest day, so I have to do chest twice a week. And all the other muscle groups I haven’t totally figured out what’s best yet
Yep doing chest Monday and Thursday now
Ya im banging chest twice a week now and calf 3 times a week
