I am a firm believer in that a clear and concise plans allows for the greatest chance of success. You have that leanbody!
Thanks man - this time around there are no excuses so failure is not an option - i told too many people that i am going to do a contest next year so i gotta bust my ass! plus it will be way easier now than in 2 years! hahaha
LEAN WINTER BULK UPDATE
Hey Guys;
had a reasonable chest workout yesterday - nothing spectacular although i did get the 100's up for 7 reps on my flat DB press. (i did a studly 115 at Golds Venice last weekend, however i am sure that there is something about the monster bodies there that pushes me that much farther than at my home gym, where the db's max out at 100)
Also got up to 245 on the incline BB press and finished off with 2 high rep sets at 135 with elastic bands making the upper range of motion heavy. So not a bad chest workout. i decided to focus on my upper pecs from now on out - that's where i need the size.
TODAY Sunday
did arms and i'll detail it since it was a kick ass workout and my arms are still swole 3 hours later...hahahahhaha
It's an arm workout from Dave 19 at PM - which he posted a while ago and i kept in my file of workouts to try out. I figured he's got some major guns so must know his shit - LOL

other news
Diet -- i am trying to eat more - fell to 202 on friday; back to 204 today. Checked BF - looks like between 8-9% so prolly a drop of 2-3% in the last 6 weeks. I did write down my measurements a few months ago - got to find that and compare. i'll post when i uncover it.
Aches and pains
i'm stoked 'cause my knees are feeling WAY better so in a few weeks i should be able to kill the squats and leg press to get some size on my wheels. Still have the sprained achilles tendon, but it is getting better - doing my cardio on the elliptical to avoid injuring it again.
had a
huge pain in the ass last few days - shot my deca/ test/ Eq (almost 4ml) with a 1.5" 25 ga pin in my 2 ass cheeks and man i felt like someone kicked me with cowboy boots! still hurts to sit down! but i think it's the DECA and that is what i credit for the knee recovery so i am not even considering dropping it.
Also started some melanotinII peptide and working on my winter "tan" i'll be glad to get some color 'cause for some reason i am bruising like a fukkin banana! Even some the the slin pins give me a tiny bruise! Hella cute girl works at the tanning salon - i asked her twice if she would do my back if i bought the $80 bronzing cream...."No way - against the rules"..."how bout a BJ if i buy the cream?" hahahahaha
