I'll try to post some soon. Lats are looking retarded IMO from the front. Waist is sitting around 30", Delts are starting to separate, and are pretty damn round, rear delt has long since separated from my traps, and traps are very well defined from the rest of my back. When I was 176lbs you could see the full outline of abs around the obliques and the top 4 abs were showing well, but I can't flex them very good. I can see all four muscles composing the quads, and interior thigh muscles. My calves are starting to separate in the center. Those are the things I'm noticing now, also spider web veins on my left forearm pretty constantly, on my right arm I can see the vein going into my elbow from the inside of my arm pretty well. I'm a little wet from test right now though, so I don't look quite as low as I am.

And for an update.
I went to the Doctor today, apparently I have a pretty severe skin infection, compounded by hyper excreting oil glands, so I have acne that becomes infected. Doctor wasn't quite sure why I had an infection due to my level of health, he assumes I have some kind of skin issue that makes me more susceptible to the bacterias at gyms.
After 40 minutes of excruciating pain as he lanced everything and squeezed them, they shot me with 4ml of 4-5 different antibiotics, then gave me 600mg per day of Clindamycin, and 240mg per day of Bactrim DS, and I have to come back in 10 days possibly before depending on how severe the cultures are.
Once every thing gets cleared up I'll post pictures, there has been great success and progress, but I can't stand my back, shoulders, and chest skin right now, and I don't really want to post pictures of it.
I'll update again once I go for the follow up.
Eating a metric shit ton, still losing bodyfat. I have delt striations without a pump I know I said that but they have deepened, not a huge amount but enough that I noticed. Weight is hovering around 182-185lbs, skin fold caliper says 8-9% bf, I don't feel like I look it, but who knows.

Re: Eden's Log
Looking forward to seeing the progress when you are ready to show it. Keep up the hard work, bud. Sounds like most things are going well, aside from the skin.

If scarring persists, give low dose (10 mg a day) accutane a shot. I did two cycles of accutane, one at 60 mg and one at 10. Results were the same except on 60 I looked like a peeling leper and had cracked and bloody mucous membranes... On 10 mg I had no sides except mild lip chap.

Thanks weekend I'll try that if needed. Problem is they are mostly pitted scars. The infection would get in a pore and burrow down. So I have sunken scars right now.

good work Eden, keep on top of that infection. I had a simple sinus infection that ended up getting into the inner part of my face, was swollen up all across the eyes and had to have antibiotics 7 days IV to get rid of it. Apparently there are only 2 antibiotics left that bacteria have not developed a resistance to and the pharm companies aren't researching to make new ones.

Oh but they will. When the timing is right they will 'discover' a new one and it will cost a fortune to purchase.

Thanks olddawg. Yea I waited a while because I didn't know what it was and wasn't sure if a doctor should look at it then I was in constant pain and was like OK need a doctor. You are so right lbc. Insurance will just cover it. The nurse told me they did some special thing to make my clindamycin cheap because even with insurance it's "really expensive"
-
The doctor also said because we have over used antibiotics that the bacteria have become so strong our immune systems can't completely kill them. Which is why mine won't go away. So by using antibiotics we have become dependent on them.
