Tell me about it. It took me 15 months to recover-so hopefully i have learned something from that.

Nothing major, starting to see them more now, measured them at came in at 23inch, is that good or bad for someone who is 5 foot 7?

Obviously fat is bulking them out so not a true reading, until I get a decent low body fat%

No surrender, no retreat

No idea if mines rotator cuff, physio didnt think so...It's kind of behin the shoulder...its weird...however i can now crack my color bone so god knows what wrong with me

Good back and reasonably low bodyfat skillmister, chest has some decent seperation in the mid so just keep packing on the mass and it'll fill out. Cutting never hurts but you certainly dont need to.

Bit of an update on myself - a lot leaner than I was, I think it shows. You can see a lot more vascularity in the shoulders and arms, separation too, and separation in the quads as well. The tricep shot didn't come out as well as I wanted as I wanted to show the striations in the shoulders but can't see them in the pic

And some nice serratus starting to come out too. Rather happy at the moment.

Davetrace and freefaller...

Dave youre filling out well man, looking in good shape. Good to see ya working legs too, its whats helped me look more balanced and less skinny. Body seems to grow in line with em.

Freefaller... looking huge in that bottom pic. Alpha + !

Freefaller · 9 Jun 2011 at 20:57

Thanks - I'm actually leaner! It's amazing how being leaner makes you look bigger. Quite happy with the vascularity in my shoulders and arms starting to come out now.

Skillmister · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:00

Dat tricep FF :eek:

Looking lean and mean.

I need to get myself a tan too. Helps show definition a lot

Freefaller · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:10

That's pale for me!

cheets64 · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:29

Looking good.

How can you get a tan with British weather, up north its been garbage, I see loads of white blokes and they are black nearly, either fake tan or those jabs/sun beds.

Freefaller · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:37

I was in Cyprus in Easter - and spend time outside. I'm also only 1/4 British - so am naturally olive skinned.

cheets64 · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:51

Nice, I dont really tan when I go away, I got loads of moles and will never ever go on a sunbed.

Freefaller · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:56

I'm against sunbeds - I think they're pretty pointless/dangerous. I have a lot of moles, but I keep an eye on them, and am relatively careful in the sun. I don't burn too easily fortunately.

Any of you guys use straps? Im really thinking of getting some as I use gloves. My forarm strength tends to go such as doing deadlifts. If any of you guys use straps whats the strength increase? Cheers

FF - Your body is unreal (no homo)

I want to know your diet, routine, and whatever you do to get that body.

I also want your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.

I use hooks, as they are less dicking around. I start off raw, but use the hooks towards the end of my pulling day to get a few more reps out.

Not sure what you mean by strength increase, but they take a lot of the strain from the forearms allowing you to go a bit longer (oo er).
