such a beast.

What's the BW these days? 260ish?

Yeah 260 give or take sounds right. I've gotten a little softer around the midsection.

MoM --- wus good........just curious of your overall review on both Dermacrine and the Epistane....i was gonna grab a few bottles of epistane, would you buy the dermacrine as well?

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Dermacrine is very mild. I would try their new 1-T stuff which is supposed to be a better version of dermacrine. Epistane was pretty potent and provides solid gains with little if any sides.

I would like to train with you... I think we would turn some heads

 

[ManOfMuscle]

That would be fun. I haven't had a consistent training partner in a couple of years.

I kinda have one, but he's hit or miss most of the time... we have somewhat different schedules, so we might get to train 2x a week together

It would be fun having 6'3" 230 and 6'4" 260 show up at my schools gym and lift some serious weight... people would probably talk

 

[hmlacrosse]

you like crowds when you are smashing that neck machine?

 

[ManOfMuscle]

What neck machine?

Sweet baby Jesus! That's amazing at 260lbs!!! How the hell do you manage 38 pullups in one workout? I struggle for 3 sets of 6-8 at 212! Have you always done high volume pullups? I did 20 about 20 years ago.....when i weighed 170 - LOL Extreme props man.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I've never really understood why people <200 lbs can't do pullups. As you gain weight your muscles should grow proportionally so that you can at least do the same amount.

I agree - maybe it was the 15 year hiatus from pullups that threw me off - anyways, if you can do 'em so can I -LOL - so thanks for the motivation (or was that a kick in the ass? )
