If you went on a bit of a cut and kept your strength up you'd have some insane power/weight ratios going on Big dude!

PK - looking powerful dude!

Pigeon Killer - looking solid there mate, the lack of posing skills and moderate bodyfat do not do you justice though.

Thanks

Will probably go on a small cut in the summer but my main aim is strength gain and I'll happily sacrifice the way I look for a few extra kilos on the bar so I don't really expect my body composition to change much, if at all.

Clearly still has a few mental issues then.

How can that be serious?

He's a competitive eater, holds many world records. Pretty impressive what he's done imo

12kg difference, doesn't look it imo. bf% is about the same maybe slightly less now, think i was tensing in the before pic. a year and a half almost on the dot between the two. Strong uneven nipples Strong lack of arm growth. timetobulk.jpg

That's how you gain 12kg of the right stuff though mate, keep going!

Sarcasm fail then I guess, I thought you were saying it's easy to get 3-4k a day...

Shoulder press starting to scare me

Your seat needs to be more up right

thats as far as it goes i hate hate hate it.

[edit] Although playing devils advocate i think ruling that all shoulder pressing MUST be done totally vertical is a little general, no real reason you shouldn't vary the exact angles in all your presses as long as for the particular regime/period/progression you keep it constant.

Freefaller · 10 Apr 2012 at 07:59

Lower the weight and do it without a back rest.

LiE · 10 Apr 2012 at 08:56

Military Presses

Freefaller · 10 Apr 2012 at 08:59

Good core work out too, and very humbling IMO.

LiE · 10 Apr 2012 at 09:05

Yep, I've been doing them for a while now, it's the only shoulder pressing movement I do.

Freefaller · 10 Apr 2012 at 09:08

Yeah - unless you're after uber isolation and cheat reps for the shoulders, they're far superior IMO.

Ultra_Extreme · 10 Apr 2012 at 09:43

i do standing bar work on my rotation love standing press but you just cant get as much weight on imo so needs to be on rotation like ALL exercises do.

Freefaller · 10 Apr 2012 at 10:06

True.
