Yeh , I'll catch you ! Only if you stop working out all together, hows the shoulder ?

 

[PreMier]

Even if my shoulder wasnt hurt, you probably bench more than me now, congrats. I feel/look like shit. Shoulder hurts, and still sick. Might be 1-6 months till I am back in the gym. I probably weigh 185-190.. I dont even know. Thats close to 15lbs from the pic in my gallery


Ok, im done complaining

Kickin butt my man. I see you're doing BB shrugs. I just started with them and I like them a lot. I never liked DB shrugs.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Hey Gary. Just scrolled thru your journal. Great job! What's your current weight and approx BF%? I also checked out your gallery, you look awesome man. You make me look like the Pillsbury dough boy.... of course I'm one year behind you (almost 49), so maybe I can catch up by next year

Jersey,
Thanks ! I'm not sure what the current stats are but will do a weigh and measure on the 24th or 25th. That wil be the end of my 12 week bulk .

Hell yes you could catch me ! Go for it! But I'm not slowing down for ya ! LOL

 

[PreMier]

Yea, DB shrugs suck. The ones at my gym only go to 150.

 

[gwcaton]

Hey Jersey,

3 ft of rope
these were an increase

Reverse wrist rollups

Notes: great workout ! Shoulders and forearms were pumped!!1 Wrist rollups are killer! I could hardly write down my journal or pick up my glass of water 1 LOL

 

[PreMier]

Bigger muscles require more blood flow. Dont you just want veins all over? Maybe you should never stop bulking lol

 

[gwcaton]

Maybe you should never stop bulking lol

Nah ! But I will do it again in about 12 weeks, but for 8 weeks instead of 12.
