you may be getting stronger but you're probably just keeping ur muscles trained and after a while you'll just be making your muscles more toned if you dont up the weight. as long as ur doing more weight each week your building muscle, dont hurt yourself tho....know ur limit

 

yeah I have been trying to keep the reps down, weight up.

 

here are some pics, feedback would be appreciated..
Thanks





These aren't super recent

 

not bad look like you could work on ur traps and lats more tho, would add a few extra lbs or so once in shape

 

When I do back, Ill start off by doing out wide pull ups prob 10 reps as a warm up(can probably do 25 straight) then ill get a weighted belt and ad 25 lbs, do that 8-10 times. do another set of 25lbs on my belt do that 8 times, go up to 35lbs on the belt, do that about 6 times. Sometimes ill add 45 lbs, sometimes ill just stay at 35 for my 4th set. This is just my first workout for back day.. So i am pretty strong for my size I guess, just don't necessarily show it.

 

Sean i have been coming to castle rock Colorado about once every 6 weeks and when i am there i work out at the crossfit gym next to my hotel (i was there last week). anyway next time i am in town would you want to hit the gym with me and maybe show me a thing or two. for me it is always nice to have someone to push you a little bit harder.

 

I'll see if it fits in his busy schedule and let you know...He usually does some private dances at alternative lifestyle clubs on the weekends...if ya catch my drift.

I currently have him scheduled for a huge men's version of Victoria's Secret....Victor's Package. He'll be modeling animal print and assless chaps. Stay tuned.

 

maxed out on bench at 185, then did a "burnout" workout for chest day

note i am 5'5" and have only been lifting again for a few months

my workout partner maxed out at 135 and the other one didnt even wanna try

makin my way up there a little step outta time

 

Don't know if you guys can answer this for me, but I'm getting back in the gym after being out for two months because of a broken collar bone. I can work almost any muscle group (with much less weight, sucks what not exercising does to ya), EXCEPT for my chest (pushing motion, not butterfly motion) without a little bit of discomfort. Does anyone have any alternatives to, say, bench press, pushups, where I can still work my chest but not risk hurting myself (again)?

 

not to too take anything away front from the op but i just have a few fast questions: fyi im 17(senior year), 5"11, 140 and last time checked i was somewhere around 5% bf.... ive been takeing protein shakes 3 times a day and a decent amount of protein from like elk steaks, burgers..... im prepping form baseball season and lucky enough to have an assistant coach that has a degree in working out technique, diet and stuff like that. so im good there but he doesn’t like guys to be working out for the beach lol so i cant really ask him these questions im trying to get a bigger chest and go from a 6 pac to an 8. any suggestions? ( basically have a natural 4/6 pac kinda like a skinny pac haha) and benching is off limits because it screws with rotator cups so it would have to be dumbbell presses or???thanks

 

wow srry guys it wont let me put spaces in that ^^ post
