Hey - got your link. Your arms and whole body look a lot bigger now. Your cheat curls? Well maybe you are a little to just make the biceps work you need to bend the elbows. If you just put your arm str8 now and bend it up look at your bicep area as you do that. It should be bigger. If you keep the elbows str8 then the bicep is not being actvated therefore less gains etc. You do a bit of both there so its not all bad and you look good man so keep it up. :)
@rickalex21 Yeah you are getting half the range there. Still really good though. You are using a lot of weight and sometimes when you push your max weight you have to cheat alittle at first. Keep it up and just try and bend them elbows lol. As you know yourself the contraction of the bi's and moment is needed to get full use out of the muscles. I think your gym work is paying off you look a lot bigger then before :)
@kingofcraig thanks, ya ill keep that in mind but you are right bend to get a full contraction... i prob wont use as much weight anymore because i want to hit 4 5 sets with the same weight using different grips to work short head long head . And ya im a bit heavier now looking forward to make 160 165 by AUG... that would put me at a good chance of deadlifting 405 and benching 300 315 or close to it.
@kingofcraig ya thanks, I think even if i did not make it to 200 230 lbs or visible abs i could die a happy man next year if i have 16" arms.. i would be ok with that , im 5 ft 3 so they would look big on me... i know it sounds kinda gay but ive been measuring guys around the gym n 16" arms look big to me.... recently a black guy 190 lbs 5 11 who i think looks good has 16 1/4 n they look good to me... go figure im only 5 3 so i would be more than content LOL Currently 14 , was 13.
@kingofcraig yup, most of my battles are in the kitchen not really in the gym LOL I just say as long as i can get these next lbs id be ok... so if can make it to 155 ill figure out a way to make it to 165 ....
@rickalex21 Yeah I know there is a lot of advice for bodybuilders on utube about diets etc. I am not to great on the diet side as i have a bad one lol.
@kingofcraig hahahaha I know what you mean , one thing is doing and another thing is doing. I knew how to bulk but did not do it because i was kinda like in a state of "i don't give a dam" towards the end of the year then i said to myself at least get to your old weight (which i am now 145) .. but I was starting to be content about being 130 lbs when i had to do something about my situation blah blah blah
better posture than R. Coleman.
