Seriously, you look great! You look in much better condition. What do you weigh now and how tall are you again?

I agree. He's looking pretty damned huge.

now your just making stuff up. I am 6'2", around 250 even, I'm not that lean believe me but I'd like to work on it. Most pix that I would post I'd generally be holding some water, that coupled with unstellar BF levels, aren't so great.

I should note I have a 40" gut, I was around 38.5" some months ago so I'd like to get down to maybe 37" this time if I can. I have a hard time cutting for extended periods because I want to grow... Anyhow, I look better from the side probably than the front or back in terms of waist.

Are you serious? A 40" gut?

You don't appear to be anywhere close to that from your pics or are you joking?

B/c I had a 41 inch waist back in my fat days in grade 8, although I had no muscle at that point weighing 220lbs.

I'm dead serious, the height hides it, and partially the 51" chest.

It's all relative. A 40" waist doesn't do your physique harm.

Its not the prettiest that I promise, but yes many people are shocked - mostly of course because people are slightly shorter. I did have a 35" waist many moons ago.

No I'm not making stuff up. I saw the avi and thought you looked great and wanted to tell you so. Sometimes getting an "unprovoked" compliment like that can make a person's day, so I like to tell people when I think they deserve one. I am quite surprised by that pic that you have a 40" waist. I would have guessed 35-36 at the largest. Well, anyway, you look great and keep it up...inclines or not

Mudge do you have large hip bones & general a large bone structure?

B/c some ppl have a larger hip bone structure that obviously make their waste line bigger even with lower BF%.

But since nobody commented on my new chest routine I only do 5 sets of flat bench, 3 sets of weighted dips, & 3 sets of decline bench now.

At 6'2" a 34-35" waist would not be considered large, but I am of Celtic decent so the hips would not be narrow. As for my bone structure I am not "big boned" by any stretch of the word, I always feel very narrow shouldered but some of that could be a long upper half. My right wrist is 7.75" so again, definitely not large boned for my height. I wear a 36 waist pant, but yes its a 40" midsection, for now.

I do.

This thread is pretty old & hasn't been replied to for awhile.

I've stated many times how important I feel incline presses & incline work in general are.

sup russian

yeha i think ur talking gynecosdemastia

dont think i spelt it right tho

i had it in one of my nipples looks like fat but when u grab it its har and u can move it around ( i thought it was almost tumor like)
but my friend had i before me..

im from Canada i know our health care covers the surgery to remove it so u end up not payin anything and its a easy quick procedure but dont plan on workoin out for 2 months after it....

most guys actually get gyne but most of the time it naturally goes away
now u cant even tell tht i had surgery unless u know cause one of my nipples is a little darker now

but check it out and get it done man did wonders to my confidence haha i had girls joke about how their tits were bigger then mine.... my gyne wasnt tht abd but it was definally noticeable with a shirt on


get him boyz



Even a brick wants to be something.
back at it since april 2nd, 2005

Why don't you go into exersize science and teach people the inherent goodness of training the upper pectoralis muscle(s), then? Instead of becomming a n3+w0rk 3ng1n33r?

I split my Chest routine up, I was doing bloody shit loads of it!! So now on my major chest day I do Incline Press, Decline Press, Incline Flies, Cable X Overs and press ups and sometime throw in the pec deck, I now only do Flat bench press on my CV day with some wide grip chins, I'm getting a much better overall chest workout by this, I think you need to do all three but whether or not you do them all in the same day is another question, just for the record.
