Progress takes a long time. Years and years. Looking to do another show this fall and wanted to bring a fuller and wider package this time.

Looking big and properly hydrated, very noice. :D Any idea on how much body fat you have right now?


As for my lifting shenanigans, saw lots of people doing the viral 135lbs challenge for some reason so I tried it with 187. Super easy, could do 200lbs, probably 210, hardest part is a strict OHP. Did not want to push it with the stitches in my leg though.
Also did not do the biceps curl, no way I am doing explosive curls with freaking 190lbs+ :scared:

Thanks man. I can still see my abs and obliques so guessing I’m around 12-14% BF at the moment. Going to push for one more growth phase and start cutting in July for a couple shows this fall. Will see how it all shakes out.

That 187 challenge looks intense man. Glad you didn’t try to curl that. I was having some PTSD thinking it. 😩😂

Then I wish you fun while bulking, that phase is so much fun, you eat and you lift heavy and - I know this is blasphemy for bodybuilders- the 15% BF range looks best-. ;)

The hardest I go with biceps is 200lbs rows for working sets. I had a tiny tear in my biceps tendon and that took months to heal and it took me like FOREVER to get it back to 100%. So annoying and scary. No way I get tempted to do max or near max anything involving biceps, not even rows. I mean you tore it and you did not even do something foolishly stupid.

Speaking about biceps, last year I tried Dr. Mikes exercise for better biceps gains and while I could even do the weight hes using in the videos with perfect form it gave me biceps tendonitis from hell after 2 weeks. Doesn't work for me at all.
