hands, after 10 rounds against steel and 50 rounds at the toughest part of a punching bag. they look normal again in about 4 hours.
I was doing power training (maxing out) all winter, and just got back into mass gaining about 2-3 weeks ago. My 8 pack is hiding under a thick layer of fuel for the rest of my muscles lol.
Im particularly fond of how hammer curls have isolated the medial head of my biceps. That and how swapping out olympic bar for freeweights has produced excellent results for chest, delts, and arms in general. I went from repping 225 to 315 on a flatbench in about 6 months from merely switching my routine up (max somewhere around 330-350).
Tricep shot. I still cant find a routine for my tris that im fully satisfied with. One of my areas i always feel i can improve tremendously on.
I went from about 250 to well over 300lbs on my lat pulldowns this year (hammer strength machines rock). I can handle somewhere around 5-550lbs on shrugs, and i just particularly love doing rows for some reason. Back + bicep day is one of my favorite routines.
Ive been neglecting my legs this year. Havent even used olympic bar to squat, just been using a hammer strength squatting machine. I feel lame. I could probably toss about 10lbs on my legs if I wasnt so lazy. Been trying to gain mass on my calves tho, thats the most problematic area for most people into bodybuilding. They get stronger and stronger, but dont seem to want to ever grow.
oh yes and to contribue to the healthiness of this thread, i have an extremely healthy diet (sans cannabis and alcohol). I consume somewhere around 3k-3500 calories a day, get a good supply of monounsaturated fat while tending to monitor the saturated fats, eat about 5 pieces of fruit (different every time) and 4 veggies (also always different) every day. I eat somewhere around 5 meals, always with proteins, whole grains, fruit and veggies, but also make sure i get yogurt (digestive bacteria) and other varying forms of proteins in every meal (like i wont eat chicken 2x in one day, more like tofu, milk, yogurt, pork, beef, chicken, lamb, beans, fish, falafel, etc). My diet is probably around 70% organic, thats an estimate. I basically eat everything healthy, and diversify enough that i dont eat the same thing in a 2 day period. I eat raw when I can, I dont cook veggies much. My suppliments include GNC multivitamin, calcium, glucosamine, chrondroitin, omega 3/6, small amount of creatine, large amount of caffiene, small amount of nitric oxide, whey protein, and active meditation.
