I may look into some wraps myself. And obviously the PT upstairs. I went to a chiro and it was cool at first but it was same shit he did to everybody else literally. Like, why are you even touching the other problem areas that YOU POINTED OUT like tight af glutes/hams. What are we doing about this 14mm difference in hip height?

Yeah I had that same experience with my last chiro. I found this new guy who is an IFBB pro bodybuilder as well. He gets it and knows what we do to our bodies. He even asks me what my current blast is. LOL. He is really good and definitely only goes after what I need addressed at the time plus the usual adjustments. Dry needling with electro stimulation is amazing. The science behind it makes sense and it works for me.

Lookin at these tells me I need to get a lil more upright on Pulldowns to really get in that lower lat. Those fibers run up/down so my line of pull should match that a lil better.

Good on seated. If you see your body needs to lean back on pulldowns, “which is fine, all degrees are used”, but it shows me the person is pulling too much weight so there body is naturally wanting to fall back. This is just for you though. It is a certain, exact movement that is done trying to not lean. If you get what I am throwing down. But you have good form. You are almost perfect. I like the low back to be locked(booty out)

I know im baffled!! I mean it's obviously a lot of water mostly but actual contractile tissue wont be far behind. OR is the change in training style and a couple weeks of lower intensity that's allowed me to actually recover from the beating I've put on myself the last several months to a year? Combo of both maybe? Maybe neither and my body just loves this style that much? What's gonna happen over the next few weeks when I'm really shittin and gettin it? Leave it to me to take 100 questions from this instead of just enjoying it and doing what i do lol!! One thing I do know for sure is that the little diet tweeks have HAD TO play a big part. I'm getting to where im legit hungry every couple hours which is totally new to me.

You were about burnt to the limit. You now are growing even more! Past any lag or plateau; just enjoy it and take advantage of the extra weight and strength. I would be adding 20-30kcals in the form of protein/carbs per lb gained..at minimum(that is for natty) you could probably get away with a bit more. As long as you gain weight, bad or good(during a bulk) you need to provide the growth environment. Strong like Bull

1/7 ARMS 205.2lb
Now thats a more realistic weight. Not 208 but still a 1lb jump from 2 days ago. Must've just had a water logged fat boy day which is what I assumed anyway. This doesn't seem like much for an arm day but just fyi before every arm day I super set light cable curls and some sort of tri pushdown until good and warmed up and got plenty of blood in there. Dropped weight on purpose today on db curls because the bicep contraction wasnt there before and if some of the biggest guys in the world are using 45-50 lbs there's zero reason for me to have a 40 lb DB in my hand even if it is just for 6-8 reps. May even drop 5lbs more next week and see what i can squeeze out with the 30s. Anywho,

DB CURLS-
35×8/7/6

EZ BAR CURLS- (to my nose today. That's my sweet spot for best contraction it seems)
80×8/7/6

1 Arm Cable preacher- (took a knee and used other knee as plant/preacher and like this. Cable drags on bench when using incline and sometimes dragging actual preacher bench over isnt an option) 1 primer set
50×8
60×8
70×7

Cable press down(single arm)- 1 primer set
50×9
60×9
70×8

25×10/9/8

Rope PRESSDOWN-

There should be a thread dedicated to :

EAT FOR GAINZZ!! It truly is the only way to advance your size no matter how small or large.

If your a skinny/hardgainer: you have to Eat a lot ; even drink those gassy ass shakes w fucking peanut butter, mct’s, whatever.

If your heavy or high Bf- you have to eat on a deficit while doing a lot more cardio w short rests between sets.

If your amateur/pro status: you have to do anything and everything and do it over and over get more gains!’
