Young and Dumb, KGPL's first cycle

[ECTD]

I focused too much on decline barbell for the first few years, didn't get any gains out of it.

You mean like throwing a 45lb plate to create just a slight angle under legs of a bench? I've done that for dumbell pressing, but only at the end of a workout. I'll try it when I'm fresh.

yes not an actual decline press. but only a very slight decline so you get some more activation out of your pectoral area and a little less shoulder strain.
main reason i wen't to a slight decline was because my shoulder likes to "pop" when i do flat bench and after rotator cuff surgery it makes me weary when it pops when i do things. then i noticed i get a much better chest workout when i do the slight decline and my shoulders don't get as worn down by the end of the routine.

done.


My back looks uneven, but it's just my angle and how I'm twisted a bit. If you look, you can see where the melanotan really took effect when I was outside all day in a t shirt...... Holy dark neck.

Finally starting to get the "yeah, he lifts" forearms





I <3 epiandro. So glad I added it in, I feel great on a day to day basis, where before something was just off with me. Confidence is through the roof, energy levels are great, pumps are exciting, and I'm developing a much harder appearance. So many people have come up to me lately and commented on my shoulder width, despite not being able to train them until now.

Sick physique bro, losing all that bodyfat I see!

We're still waiting for those lifting videos!!

And I gotta come and spend a week training with you dude. Seems like would be a good week to learn from the man of strength

[KGPL]

^ 1k deficit+clen works wonders

I know, I need to get those videos up ASAP. I haven't been able to move the 585 lately and I've been wanting to save it for that.

It's always cool to train with other people, they bring a lot to the table in regards to their viewpoints, unique little things they do. There's a friend of mine who isn't nearly as strong as me, but I still take his advice all the time because of his families background on kinesiology.

[KGPL]

Someone decide for me. Try to hit 455 ass to grass again with no spot, or just focus on front squats and do some light back squats?
