Shameless cross posting, but I want miration goddammit:
My attempt at a rear lat spread:

Rear double bicep:

mrthingyx · 7 Jun 2013 at 08:21

Shoulders, arms (guns + forearms), shoulders, lats... nice. :cool:

Traps? Where are they?

MoNkeE · 7 Jun 2013 at 08:24

My traps are the only thing that don't seem to be growing at the moment, which really sucks. I'm doing plenty that should be hitting them, but no isolation.

Would love to do some olympic lifting to help them, but since your thread and the realisation that I do none of them right, I daren't attempt it without proper coaching!

mrthingyx · 7 Jun 2013 at 08:37

If I ever come to a meet, we can fix that.

Alternatively, I'm more than sure ice and dom can provide you with better help than I ever could , anyway.

Either way, looking beastly. :cool:

edit: whoops

Significant increase in swole there :cool:

I find facepulls absolutely fry my traps if I place emphasis on them with a massive ROM and reach forward. Good shoulder pump too.

I think if you did an extreme lat spread (ie, 100% more effort, thumbs higher, elbows more forward, leaning back a touch) you'd look even bigger.

Shameless cross loving: looking swole.

Cross-posting from my log - just went past my one year anniversary this week! Not too long to go with the fat loss (mostly just my teddies now) and then I can start working (and eating) for dat size, and not be a waif, as I'm jelly of all you beefcakes and want to start catching up.

MoNkeE · 7 Jun 2013 at 13:13

Want the upsetting truth or not bro?

mrthingyx · 7 Jun 2013 at 13:22

Looking lean, Som.

TBH, however, I'd just start on the beefcake express: you're at a BF% where taking more off will probably be a very slow and painful process, so you might as well start on the mass.

Any residual blub on your teddies will get stretched as your pecs swolify.

Hit me. Does it begin with a G and involve teddies?

MoNkeE · 7 Jun 2013 at 14:33

No.

Yes.

Maybe.

Yes.

But no.

Basically, it could be. Judging from your first overweight pics, I'd say definitely, but then it doesn't seem too bad in your later pics. This means it could as MrThingyX says, be completely remedied by piling on some mass; lowering bodyfat from where you are now is NOT going to look good

So, start piling on some lean mass nice and slowly!

Strong progress Som! Now get eating

grudas · 7 Jun 2013 at 14:44

you're already skinny as heck, there's no point loosing any more IMO.

i would start bulking up.. you pretty much look like my little brother - except he never was fat lol, and he has no visible moobs.

Skillmister · 7 Jun 2013 at 14:51

Don't keep cutting Som.

Tackle_Berry · 7 Jun 2013 at 15:01

Yeah time to bulk but eating well without puttin on the fat and training hard. Your already looking to small so don't loose any more.

LiE · 7 Jun 2013 at 15:22

Time to make them ggaaaaainnnzzzzzaaaA

Somnambulist · 7 Jun 2013 at 15:22

I'm seeing a GP at the start of July about the teddies, just to make sure - in a way I'd prefer it to be the evil G as it's something that could be fixed (at no small cost I'm sure), vs ****y fat storage genetics.

What I think I'm going to do is keep doing what I'm doing now... while I work out how I can train around my job in a way that'll get results, and by the time I see the docs I should be ready to get my ticket to Gainsville and start getting my strength/mass up - so I'm in agreement with you all here.

I will have to beg for assistance on routine/periodisation though, because my job/hours are the opposite of anabolic!

MoNkeE · 7 Jun 2013 at 15:36

Stay safe opie

PS I'm going to Poland for my gyno surgery, £2k versus £4k+!

Delvis · 7 Jun 2013 at 15:51

Fuarrr. Polish teddies
