I am having one of those days where I feel so weak. Of course numbers mean nothing in themselves, especially when you're dieting. But I'm probably the only 200+ here that can't pull 300 lbs :okay:

That being said, my attempt was at the end of a workout, and I still pulled 280 no problem. Still, just one of those days ya know :okay:

I need to sleep for 12 hours tonight.

kinda embarrassing but im gonna post anyways, fell victim to the "working upper body only" before, started doing legs about 5 months ago


back pic whoring


5'8 @150lb, 20.5% BF says my bathroom scale lol, dont really wanna believe it

did pulldowns with the close neutral grip handle. really enjoyed. lats feel it a lot. had a real good range of motion to it. good stretch at the top and you could focus on pulling your elbows down and behind. bis couldnt keep up tho (end of back day).

pro tip: in any pull down exercise, focus on pulling your elbows down to your sides/back. not pulling your hands to your shoulders. once you get it, youll understand.

^Just think of your hands as hooks helped me

i think of it as theres ab 18" rope tied to your elbows and to the handle instead of forearms and hands

I guess it's time for legs now?

Anyone have success with building leg mass besides squats? I'm having a hard time building size in my legs. Strength is progressively increasing though.
High reps (10+) or low reps (3-6)?

^ I'd say lunges and leg extensions

:ahwow: how much do you squat?

no moar leg pics till we get a halo back pic

:badpokerface:

we both have shitty calves :okay:

I do like 3 sets for calves every month LOL I neglect them....but I better start eh :okay:

Those calves are decent...I on the other hand have chicken calves :okay:

My max is 315lb for 2-3.

don't really post much in here, but learned a lot from reading posts.
sorry if pics are too big.

Looking juicy mate. How long you been working out? stats?

Went back into the thread...definitely inspired to hit the gym hard now. My pics would be terrible because I'm starting from being overweight (6'0 246, built like a fullback, lots of BF) :okay:

I'll probably post progress pics in a month, but you guys have definitely set a bar for me!

it'll be roughly 2.5 years when february comes. i started at 135lbs and didn't really know what i was doing, so i watched youtube videos.

stats: squat 285, bench 255, dl 315

don't know 1rm though, never tryed.

you might of seen me a few times, i recall reading that you go to sc as well.

This is where I started back in 2007 when I was boxing, twig and friggin bones.
Then 2009:

To finally now:


Still a work in progress, my legs need to catch up to the upper body at this point, fucking half black genetics man :/
