Here are a couple of images on my new digicam. First is of me and my brother; second of me being goofy.

Damn, you look huge in that second picture. Your chest is just massive.

Where do your hands go when you bench press, in reference to the two rings?

A pretty good bit inside the rings

Thanks for the compliments

Here's a picture of me in underarmour, upper body. Unforunately, at my current bodyfat, I'm far too embarrased to do a physique shot. Should be okay in three weeks (if I ever peak)



Though my waist is still too big, I like the shape of my chest.

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

I did some curls today because I was bored and hit 125 for 15. The first 13 or so reps were fast and I had to slow the last 2. Got stuck on 16. Problem is the ligaments in my forearms are hurting and influencing my workouts. Doh :\

Yeah, you may be right. I actually thing it's the connective tissue in my wrist from using so much heavyweight on everything from pullups and deadlifts to wrist curls - gotta take it easy.

I have the same problem (but with much lower weight, LOL) I was told once the muscle has developed much faster than the tendons and ligaments. What do you think?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I've only heard of people having issues iwth ligaments and tendons keeping up with muscle on steroid cycles. I suppose it's possible, hopefully not though Of course the connective tissue can get damaged and has a harder recovery time.

Squats: 500 x 8 (superset leg extensions)
Leg extensions: 225 x 20
Calf-raises: 425 x 23
Situps: 55 x 41 (Fast)

Good workout. I went parallel on all my squats and went below on the final squat. I barely got it up, and failed on 9. Immediately after I did leg extensions; the weight is too light.

Just do it in a cage and when you fail go all the way down and let the bars take the barbell.

I use a smith, yes, and I love it because there is no question of whether you fail when you are squatting in a smith. You just let the hooks handle it.

My knees would snap. ha. I've never actually failed on squats where I have fell over. I might switch to the smith machine. Thanks for the help.

If you have a rack, there is no reason to use the smith.. plus the smith is dangerous.

I agree, a rack is fine, but a smith machine isn't dangerous in my estimation.

Today's workout:
Military press: 235 x 7
Upright rows: 197.5 x 10
Barbell curls: 127.5 x 16 (pause) x 3
Dips: BW + 65 x 9, x 4 (6-8 second negatives)

Really good workout...once again am losing the flab relatively well and not losing strength or muscle.

It should be noted that I do my upright rows as Mentzer advised, slightly above my nipple. My shoulders feel really good.
