Nice weight gain man, wont be long before 100 was an 'easy target' !

When do you start to cut mate ?

thanks man.

to be honest i am carrying quite a lot of fat right now.

however i doubt i will cut for some time. i might do some cardio here and there, but im looking to hold a high weight for a while to solidify the gains ive made

[deegee]

the ton is so close, good going there I think both you and growth will be there at about the same time

leg pics taken this morning

1st 3, the camera really wash's them out, you cant really tell anything about thickness. so i used a lamp in the last pic for some shadows.

im not sure if the pics show it, but my legs are significantly bigger than they used to be.

[Marcus]

Nice man, you've definitely added some thickness & you have a nice sweep appearing. Keep up the good work. :nod:

[Ash]

Definitely thicker than before, no damn doubt about it. Outside sweep is looking good.

[jono]

thanks guys.

yeah the sweep is coming along well, i reckon the hacksquats is where i develop it the most. when im actually doing the hacks i can feel the sweep working hard.

Looking awsome mate, those heavy squats seem to work better than the high rep stuff huh. Cant wait to see more updates later down the track.

Good looking workout there, all progress is good. In the past some of the excersises I hated the most later came to be favorites I really put everything into them. Maybe as you improve more with the chins you will come to look forward to doing them.

Mate your lifts are increasing rapidly! Awesome work. Hey i know my post in marcus' thread about how to improve chins didnt really sit with most people but you might honestly want to give it a shot. Next time you do chins tie a 5 or 10kg plate to yourself and just see how many you get. I was exactly the same as you, could only do 4-6 reps, i tried adding weight and i could still do the same reps, now i use some good weight and still can manage 6 odd reps, i havent tried BW chins to see if i can pull out higher reps but thats not what we are trying to achieve here.

Its like your squats, you say your legs didnt respond to high reps, well thats kind of like what your trying to do with chins, just give the weight a shot for a few weeks mate, im sure youll be surprised.
