What's in a name?
I would agree, but hard to tell because shoulders are cropped in pic 1.
Yeah I blame the photographer (the mrs)!

Looking solid brother. Your chest definitely looks fuller to me. I See that your 6ft 185ish..prob 195ish by now Wondering if you have plans to do maybe a bulking cycle in the future???
Cheers man. I am actually a little more than 183 , maybe 185 at my last weigh in, but not enough to say it is gains yet.
I am actually trying to secure bulk with very low fat. I don't want to trade abs for size elsewhere to them have to shred. So I am eating a + 500 surplus (3500-4000) per day but no more than 40gs of fat. Also no carbs after about 6, maybe seven. Hoping this will get me big but not loose my triangle. Like that is an easy target!!!
72kg on the curl? That's about 159 lbs in proper English. That is great, especially with longer arms.
Well I guess it helps that I have arms since I was about 12 (Rocky Balboa inspired!), and I don't fully extend when using an e zee bar on a preacher bench, but still it was a pb - take em where you can get them right?!
Just equalled my pb on decline chest. Over a year since I last did it - but instead of the 1 last time I did four today. Very happy.
Plus a new shipment of Var supplies just arrived from PSL. Happy days!
If you're shooting for ultimate growth and hypertrophy, by all means get that full extention when you come down. Squeezing the hell out of it the entire time with a good extra pinch when you get to the top. You will have to lower the weight obviously but you will see a bit of a difference.
Sounds like the strength is coming in leaps and bounds!! Glad you're enjoying this one. Keep beasting dude!
Agreed that it is better to sacrifice range of motion and preserve the joints/tendons. Once they get flared up, you go backwards.
I used to box. Loved beating on a 200 lb muay thai style bag. No more. 5 years later my elbows finally feel better.
Yeah that is as ever a good call bro. Only issue is I tend to feel it on my tendons when I fully extend on e zee, so I tend to go a little short and squeeze for peak. Then I do heavy dB's to full extension. Arms have always been a good place for weight, trying to get the rest to catch up is a plan for this cycle!!

Yes true I get a lil feeling of that as well. I try not to push it too hard for that reason. I go low on weight. For my size, you would be laughing or wondering WTF?! lol. But I make it work
DAY 16
Start weight 83k.(182lbs)
Weight today 90kg (199lbs)
Abs still visible! I do not know where this extra weight has gone specifically, I think it just must be muscle gain all over.
My strength is crazy, I have hit pbs in every exercise I have been performing for four years and the form is great.
I am just hoping I do not see this level of gains suddenly plateau when I come off the tbol in two weeks. Kind of makes me tempted to run it for another couple of weeks.
Btw, question for you guys, should I be restricting the amount I am lifting? I am conscious I Don't want to tear, break, damage or slip anything! My form is good, I am in the 6-10 rep range on failure but I just seem to able to keep adding weight! I hope this means I came into this cycle with a good foundation, but obviously don't want to balks it up!
Reckon you will love it. If I ran it again I think I would hit 60 or 70 a day. It would be amazing....MORE amazing at that quantity!
