Do you take measurements bro?

[HarryB]

Do you take measurements bro?

I used to but haven't for ages. Why? I know my body pretty well so just kind of know where I am at. I mean bodybuilding is all about the illusion.

I honestly couldn't tell ya I do know my calves taped at 19, I was reading something on here about calves and someone said 17 so I thought I better measure mine lol I have measured my arms before at 20 and 3/4s but I was about 120k when they were that. I measured them one at 103 and they were just under 19.5 but they looked heaps bigger than at the heavier weight. My quads at that same 103bw were just under 30 at the biggest part and my waist was just over 30. Actually that pic in my pics way back at the start of the journal is me at that weight.

I got nothing freaky going on man, loads of guys with much freakier body parts. I am more a aesthetics and balance guy. So sad cos I just wanted to be a monster. I mean I ain't got no Android 21 inch arms that's for sure.

Another way to do it is make them go first and give it to them hard so they give it back to you. Take what they give you plus more and show them how to do it without all the bloody whinging.

I do that sometimes, either way they are beat down. It's funny how different people are, I smash mysel and get excited about it, some people wanna lie down and have a cry. Cracks me up.

For sure. Also it's funny how training partners tend to go missing on legs day, but always seem to make it for shoulders or arms :pfft:

[HarryB]

I'v seEn your vids Mike, I reckon I'd be joining another gym lol you're a powerhouse!!

[TonganTerror]

haha love training with a stronger partner, yesterday he tells me "last set" then reps 10 I lay under and rep 12 1minute later hes like oi beni come here and he reps out another set and I click Its because I out repped the old man and he wasnt having a bar of that haha

That dude sounds like me ha ha ha ha but that's how I started out, getting run into the ground every day by a sadistic training partner who felt that pain was my best lesson!!! Still love the punishment now.

Thanks guys, I keep on pushing.

29 may calves, delts and biceps.

6 sets for calves, finished on a drop set on the hack squat. Calves are starting to grow which is nice.

Didn't go too hard today on shoulders. Focussed more on feeling than anything else. Shoulders a bit tender after bench yesterday.

Hammer strength shoulder behind neck press.

1 pps, 2.5 pps, 4 pps/ 15 reps each

3 sets of lateral raises with dbs, 12 reps each up to 27.5k dbs

2 sets of 15 on cable laterals

That was delts done. Doesn't look like much but my shoulders were crazy pumped and everything burning. Didn't do rear delts cos having a bit of an issue with my right one every now and then.

Hammer strength preacher curls one arm at a time 5 sets of 8

Standing db curls 4 sets of 8 up to 30k dbs

High cable curls 3 sets of 12

Felt good today, shoulders were tight from yesterday but still got a good feeling. Arms are growing thank goodness!
