Did some giant sets for shoulders and arms yesterday. Got a little bit of a pump 😀

It's been a while since I posted a progress update! Here's what's been going on:

I spent the summer (June-September) focused almost entirely on building strength. Now that I'm considerably stronger, the hypertrophy-style training that I'm currently using will be more effective.

Seems to be working pretty well so far! What are you doing in your training?

Trying to build muscle? Are you training based on the mechanisms that produce muscle growth, or are you just making it up as you go? Discover what actually builds muscle, and start making some real progress.

You don't have to do everything all at once.

Focus on one thing at a time (maybe it's as simple as eating veggies with at least two meals every day), master that one thing, then focus on the next.

Always keep your neck aligned with the rest of your spine. Never "look up" (as in the 2nd pic) when squatting or deadlifting.

The vast majority of folks make this mistake. Fix it, and enjoy enhanced strength and safety. There's nothing that interesting to look at on the ceiling, trust me.

Actions speak louder than words, and those who talk the most usually have the least to say.

Taking action leads to success, and success speaks louder than any words can. So shhhhh... take action! ;)

Especially when your "max" lift consists of a 3 inch range of motion!

What's your bodybuilding name? Mine is "gym curler."

Apparently I curl everything in the gym. I don't just curl IN the squat rack, I curl THE squat rack ;)
