Very nice Sammie! Much improved if you look back at your original posing pics. Having a posing coach , even if just a few times can be invaluable. Even with the girls, they have to do some ridiculous stuff during their poses ; beyond mixing in their own style which is part of their score. Some guys cannot smile the whole time ! You honestly have to control 100 different muscle all while not forgetting to breathe and when to do mini breath’s . Monte is on the money but you shall get it down. The rear double bicep pose is always awkward and if it isn’t ; something in wrong . Lol. If you notice in competition you will or should see almost everyone with their left leg back, perfectly balancing them. Getting the lats to as wide as possible, arms up a lot higher than you would think: all while using your wrist to turn your biceps to show their full size/peak. Victor Martinez has a very good posing form and a lot of people seen on the stage but that man does a great rear double. HMU. You are looking phenomenal but you scare me how quickly metabolism must be . It is like you are cutting! As long as you aren’t losing weight that isn’t a bad thing . HMU

4/12 BACK AND SHOULDERS(yesterday)

I was down right beat with no sleep yesterday. Literally an hr or so nap but still got in some good work and slept like a little baby last night just to wake up with some man problems. Yea my freakin left nut felt like it had a nail drove thru it. Upon farther investigation, aka playing with my balls lol, its not my actual nut but pretty sure epididymitis. Had it once as a teenager. It's when ur tubes get matted together and infected. GD it hurts at times!! See doc Friday so some antibiotics should clear it up. So needless to say i missed chest today but ill be on it tomorrow 1000%. Already scheduled for work all weekend again too BUT only 8 hrs Sat and Sun so I suppose we're supposed to thank them for that, right? Anyways, went to different gym with a pal yesterday do had 110s for db rows

I hate any type of ball issue, seriously! I have had it to where I felt like I got kicked in the balls before. Just totally random but it almost makes me nauseated. Get sleep!! Your work dictates training and so does mine, just glad you have that bullish mindset to train no matter what.

Hack squats are neck and neck with squats for me. I love em both. Been having some popping in my knees tho with it right beside the patella tendon. Doesnt feel like bone but more like some sort of cartilage rubbing and popping. Same with light squats too but it goes away at around 225 - 245lbs

Damn Sam,

You just get tighter each time ! I am going to change up my diet because I burn kcals like a garbage disposal! You look great. If I miss a training day and it messes up my schedule, I just let it go. Usually I am able to but sometimes best to just stay on track. Love the pen and paper! Exactly how I do it and transfer when I am done. They have this new pen that you can run across your handwriting and it converts it onto your phone, Pretty unnecessary but, cool. Watching vids tonight

Im too technologically stupid for all that lol. I like my wannabe spread sheet and pen just fine.
Just last night i had 12oz prime rib amd half rack ribs with wedges and green beans in all kinds of pork fat. Seems the more I shove down the leaner i get. Makes no GD sense but at least gym performance is on right track for now.

I can so the mass gain shake for sure if you say I should. Ur the vet here. I been slacking on the eggs but dairy 4.4 oz cottage cheese daily.lately and 8 cups choc milk. Those are just the daily staples tho so the occasional cheese etc. Dor the last couple weeks ive been eating my dinner at first break and then at dinner time going to food truck. Keep it clean as possible tho. Ex is yesterday was 1.5 cup sticky rice and 4oz(guessing there. Enough for a good sandwich). Breakfast has been 2 or 3 waffles with 4 tbsp PB and syrup of course(only found 1 with no hfcs). And of course my 4 shakes 3 with 3 scoops whey and my post w/o with the monstadon and 1 scoop whey. Sounds like I'm just cheating most of day but im legit just trying to put down cals. Think I've proven I don't care to eat clean all the time. Seems like the more shit I eat the leaner i get. Oh and goin through a box of Twix ice cream bars a week too, yea that's just me cheating tho lol. Been so long since i had any real sweets that I kinda just got outta hand. Now, all that said, I'm on test deca and dbol with no AI and I'm this lean with no bloat. Somebody explain this shit to me cause I should be a sloppy bloated mess right now vs the last 3.5 months before when i was doing everything "right."
