That is a monster gain. Good work man!

 

[J.thom]

When I measured them this past week they were semi cold. I hit the gym like 3 hours before that but my pump obviously went away. I have definitely noticed a big increase in my arm size.

My pec is okay, but I'm not brave enough to hit heavy flat bench yet lol. I'm mainly sticking to incline pressing movements and a lot of incline flys. Hopefully it's good for tomorrow. I definitely want to hit some heavy Incline BB presses.
