Went solo on my chest today :okay:

100lb DB flat, 3 sets, 5 reps each
85lb DB incline, 3 sets, 7 reps each

Decline bench was broken :seriously:

Had to settle with the smith decline machine, 2 plates on each side, 3 sets, 5 reps each.

i actually really like smith machine decline

Today at 207lbs. I have cut out a lot of salt from my diet in the last 4 weeks which at least visually seems to have cut some water/BF. Any guesses as to what % I'm at?

I have reached my upper body goals, will now focus more on core and legs. If I get to 215 it will be by adding mass to my lower body.

COME AT ME SUMMER!

i would say floating around 10/9 ish
veins in shoulders is a indication of 10 percent

:eek2: holy shit JD, you look sexy as fuck.... hit the chest a bit more, and I think I'd do you...




I want to say no homo, but I donno, something's just holding me back. :nyan:

I did standing barbell OH press on Sunday. Last set, a single rep of 145 lbs. There was so much resistance that I didn't even sense the bar going up. I mean, I was exerting both mentally and physically like mad and I didn't feel it go up. Yet somehow, I got it up.

Haha, the last 2 lines can be taken out of context so wonderfully.

ROFL thanks bro :hay:

Jsilver and JD.. good work!

JD - How tall are you? I wish I was 200lbs+.. I hit 185 now cut to 175!

i dont mean to alarm you, but theres a fist crawling out of your asshole. nohomo

First day of summer tomorrow. 145 lbs @ 5'5"

December 2011 -> March -> June. Picture inspired by TypeRNammer's previous progress post.

Input, criticism, and tips are welcome.

holy shit, all these sexy guys gettin geared up for the beaches...

flipkid, keep goin at it, keep liftin heavy... It looks like you got the genetics to really explode out there

Wow that's a big difference! I'll hit the thanks button once I get to a desktop, and comment on it a bit more!

Thanks needles. Lifts are a bit low, but I'm trying to increase 5lbs every 1.5-2 weeks. I really wish I was a bit taller though. My biggest fear is looking like a stocky oompa loompa.

hey just curious, flipkid, how was your cut like? and what are your current lifts?

I was around 167lbs give or take when I first started getting serious. And still up to now I have been taking the EC stack. I had to cut out all the thick sauces I ate with my food and all the late night chip munching. But like anyone else here will tell you how important diet plays a role in cutting.

My lifts are pretty weak. According to 5x5 this is what I can do. Just started this month.

Squats - 195
Bench Press - 165
Deadlifts - 205
Barbell Rows - 135
Shoulder press - 105

Looking stocky is pretty baus in my opinion. It looks like you put in alot more hardwork despite being a bit shorter than the rest of the crowd and it makes you stick out lol..

short and stocky > short and pinner

I don't know if it was the oatmeal, but I was inflamed as fuck today. I made it through, but I was in so much pain after each set I felt like screaming.

It's either that, or I am reaching my physical limit of my 10RM for these exercises.

The sugar helped me get through without fatigue though.

i just had my first good workout in a long time.

Man does it get depressing when every week you're maxing on the same weights. Pisses me off, thankfully today i upped my mill press and finally can do 135 for reps again. Time to get to 185 :accepted:

Huge progress! What's your diet like?

a couple of years ago I used to think Taeyang was jack3d .. until after a year's worth of hard work, he ain't so great anymore
everything is so clear now; my goals & achievements so tangible :fuckyea:

i've been major slacking at the gym the past month....i think it's part cause i'm getting bored of the 5x5 program...i've seen some significant gains (strength and bulk) from doing it but now i want more definition (ie my biceps got basically no growth from the program)

what's another good split(?) program that i can start on??

Is the 205 dl ur max flip? Ur other excercises are so close! U squats and dl are way better than my shitty bench :( :okay: I am sure ppl know what I mean. And is t possible for bulkers to gain beach body physiques ? Currently 149 and was 134 2-3 months ago. Going to go 160 an then cut. Tips in your diet flip? :p

I remember skinny posted a 3 and 5 day split for body hypertrophy program from bb.com, dunno if he still remembers

most people seem to have gotten in on the Layne Norton Program. just google it. And im surprised you saw no bicep growth in 5x5. i remember my biceps looking bigger in those 12 weeks then in 6 months of regular hypertrophy training lol

@flip : in on diet and workout routine :P

my body is ready

how do i spoiler uploads =[
