I better. Lean's not the word, I'm downright puny

 

[maxmuscle1]

Damn right

Nothing like getting excess calories and puffing up for winter ! You’d be surprised how strong you will get once you feel comfortable putting on the extra weight!

Hahaha naw man you're looking solid. Only up from here!

 

[MindlessWork]

I better. Lean's not the word, I'm downright puny

Naw you look darn good man, and in a way sickness helped you drop a little more weight...now time to grow!

I once dropped 15lbs after a severe bout of flu..wasn't fun but helped me lose some weight.

Very nice latspread bro, you some great lat insertions!

Awesome! I will watch the progress and possibly join PPL nation and try it. I do some similar type programs but, am Olympic Powerlifting now. A few weeks and I start my program. You will like it , I think. It is very unique and customized to enlarge every muscle group systemically, not targeting any particular muscle group) but, just Complete Size Augmentation (MaxSys2.0) is the name, and total growth is the Game! (Totally Excited).
I will say that it is a complete True Bulk, so the Diet is basically Supercharged Eating! Surprises..
