This has been asked already by numerous people. I do not post any pictures or stats online. Well, at least not on this forum I do not. I have pictures on my bodyspace (no, no links4u). Pelto and Will know what I look like, well, only Pelto knows my stats. I never judged you, did I? I simply laughed at the fact that you stated LEG PRESS when everyone else was talking about squats. If you posted you had lower back issues I would have refrained from laughing at you, but you did not until post-response.

Fair enough. But may I ask why you don't post stats or pictures?

Just something I have never done since I started. It's not that I'm ugly, 120 lbs, fat, or any of that. I just don't see a reason to have one on here, after all, I am only posting on this sub-forum for some laughs and such. I don't intend to make "friends" with anyone on here. The people that are friends have me on Facebook for that stuff. I rather not have someone take my post seriously (or not) based off of how I look. It's like how there can be some huge people at the gym giving total **** advice, but people listen because they are big. I don't want any of that to occur, so I don't let people know who they are talking to.

I got you. Usually guys on here talk **** when I post pictures, but it's still fun to show progress.

Then
170 lbs

Leg press 600?

Now
185 lbs
bench 330 with good form
leg press 800?

Don't max on legs much so those are estimates.

Yeah, I love going to my lifting class and watching people just bounce the weight off their chest. I remember the first time I touched 185 a few weeks ago I got pissed when I let this new weight come down too quickly. Personally really focusing on pausing at the bottom has only helped my bench.

I don't feel BB nearly as much as DB. I feel like I can really get the contraction in my chest with DBs.

Start January 2009

[p8ntballoc11]

started 3 years ago give or take a month

i was like 5'6 weighed 118 or so.
bench was 85
squat was 145 with good form. i had a legit trainer show me everything
DL was 225. idk why it was so good

i wrestled senior year and dropped down to 111. I weighed 113 when i entered college at 5'7

i'm up to 128 now (weighed myself 4 days ago)
bench 145 x 6 (today)
squat is 145x 10 LOL (it was higher but i just started going past parallel so it should go up)
dead is 265 but i don't max it. i just do 185x10.

i'm gonna drop down to 122-125 by june this summer though. There is no way i can get enough food at home to stay 128.

heavy drinking meaning... a lot in one sitting or like multiple times a week?

i drink at least one day on the weekends and sometimes two and i would't say i drink heavy but i get drunk. i'm in college though so if i didn't i would just spend the weekends inside not having any fun. i don't regret it at all

Of course it does. Your bone structure plays a huge role in it. If you are naturally brittle/thin boned then your body is going to have a tough time putting on size.

But obviously you shouldn't just let that stop you. Lift hard and you'll be alright. Don't worry about **** you have no control over.

Had a 6 pack or more with friends about every night till it got too cold outside. I was suprised i didnt gain any weight. Now i tend to drink about 2 days a week and only get drunk 1-2 times a month.

My wrists feel like they are about to snap doing ez bar curls even, even BB bench hurts my wrists. I'm just not a ***** and I push through it until the muscle targeted gives out. I'm having no trouble putting on mass with that structure as well. Sure, I still have little wrists and ****, but I don't really care about wrist size at this point.

[Pump Revolution]

Im fairly certain you already know but i will throw it out anyways. Are you sure you wrists are directly inline with you forearms when you bench, ive had quite a bit of wrist pain and when my wrist are just slightly out of alignment i get pain

Yeah lmao, I actually feel LESS pain when they are out of line, but yes, I do make sure they are in line. Thanks for lookin' out though brah. I guess it's just how that much weight on my little wrists pays its toll
