Damn I didn't know his arms were that big! I obviously pulled the 28in thing out of my ass (that did not sound good. roflmfao) anyway, your arms are almost as big as one of my things (they are lopsided, due to one being a tad longer than the other- weird. i know.) so yah, what is your family saying, if you don't mind me asking? the more input the more you have to weigh the decision. maybe you can go lead and if you don't like it, got back big... that would be a ton of work. i would be personally be pissed at myself for getting as far as you, going lean, hating it, then having to start all over again. kinda like me being pissed with losing a ton of weight (in bootcamp a long time ago) then gaining it all back and then some.. now look at me. freakin' pissed. haha.
about the recipe thing... i will start a new thread, how about that!? (i'm still compiling)
