Michael's bulk

I'm not gonna add it, just interesting to know I lifted 15 more pounds than I thought. Gives me sorta a confidence boost, ya know!!!
 
I guess so...I just never thought about it because it is part of the machine, where as the BB is not. Do you add the bar weight on Smith machine presses? I don't. I just figure it is part of the machine. Just a different was of looking at it, I guess. It all comes out the same, right?

i think the same way, i only add the BB weight..no machines but an extra 15 pounds is pretty good.
 
Lookin good buddy! Some solid lifts there...awsome atf squats. I am gona be changing up my leg routine and throwing my squats to the end of my w/o. Gonna do some power tec squats with a really narrow stance then some leg presses then try some bb squats. I want to see how that works out for me b/c my back was starting to get tweaked by em so I want to go lighter.

Awsome pics mna....you back has really changed aloit!! You have a really nice V going there...looks like you've added some serious mass in that pic. Same with the arms. C'mon take one of the legs bro...they can't be that bad. Mine are only like 29" and I still take pics of em lol.

Power tec squats is like a machine squat. Its similar to a standing calf raise machine where you are standing only you load the weight on to bars sticking out of the sides and you just squat with the wight on your shoulders. Go to gwcatons journal he has a pic of it.

I learned how to do cleans highpulls snatches push press and jerks today, so I was tired for the rest of my workout. It was also a different gym than I'm used to.

Triceps

close grip bench: 135x6 135x5 135x5

dips: BW+25x7 BW+25x8 BWx17

I am going to do lats on saturday, and shoulders again tomorrow.

Why did you learn those? Are you planning to play a sport?

No, I plan on adding cleans to my routine. I just learned the other stuff so I would know.
 
Oh, i was just wondering because cleans aren't very beneficial for adding on mass, they're more a traditional "functional" or power lift, people will argue over their effectiveness in any category (bodybuilding, functionality) however, i like them so .. :thumb:

Ya, I'm doing them for strength more than mass.
 
How goes it Brother Michael?
 
Just as long as you eat enough cals and you hypertrophy the muscles they will grow...no matter what ya do bud!

Good, I'm up here at my dad's. The gym has way better atmosphere. I'm about to go train with an almost pro natural bodybuilder. The cruise is coming soon too!

You're right, but the degree and speed of which my muscles grow does corralate to the type of training. That's why I'm not doing many olympic lifting. The TUT isn't optimal for building mass.
 
I decided to do lats today, because I wont have enough time tomorrow.

Shoulders

Military press: 95x6 95x7 95x6

DB press: 35x10 35x8

We went to port conaverial, Miami, Nasaw, and great sturrip cay. I had a lot of fun on the cruise, though it was by far the most stressful vacation I have ever been on. Some of the kids that were there were out of there damn minds.
