Thanks bro, my back and lats need a lot more development. We do Deadlifts on Saturday (can't do em same day as upper back, just too taxing)

Alright everyone, we have just a few days left in the GBN Contest. 1st place gets $180!!! There will also be 2nd and 3rd place winners. I encourage everyone to give it a shot:

Tonights workout will either be biceps, triceps, or shoulders or some combination of the two or three. Have not decided. Will have some videos and whatnot posted tonight, as well as an outline of the workout!

Good luck with your quest becoming a MONSTER

What's a bulldog? I looked and googled it but could not find any vids or links. Always looking to find new exercises to try.

Stomach

Grabbed the Ball thing and did some Crunches did them until I got tight, and then stopped. Didn't want to work the stomach too much today
Then after I bent over to hand my buddy his ID and I felt a VICIOUS Pain in my lower abs. I abruptly fell over, laid on the bench, started screaming "I feel like I'm giving birth" and pulled my shirt up--clutching my lower abs. IT was HELL.

Boy my upper body aches. Time to bash some food. Tonight we do legs!

Squat day

Note: Alright people few admissions. 1) My squats are the Weakest category. However, don't be fooled. I don't do 90 degree squats. Mine go deep in the bucket, ass to the floor. The hardest fuckin' squats you can do. Tried to record it, grabbed a bad angle. But, you will get the idea. Get a better angle next time.
