looks solid bro...keep it up!
Good job OP, just needa work on your calves and quads.
Extremely solid progress man. I'd be damned happy if I get anywhere near that amount of progress 2 years from now (the start of my journey) =p Keep it up!

thx man
nice gains overall for sure tbh hit the legs harder bro if anything! Your legs need some work to catch up to your upper but nice gains overall! Start doing heavier squats, and also add in some stuff like calve raises maybe if you're not doing so already! I also think leg presses and hack squats work pretty well to bulk up the quads! And romanian deadlifts kill the hammys try em out too!

[size=12] Wendlers 5 3 1, Deadlift Day. Wave 2 Cycle 2[/size]
To start off i am going to say, that i felt like absolute crap today, stayed up late yesterday, crappy sleep, was a rest day for me, did not want to workout at all. Meals weren't the greatest today. I was saying all day today would be a rest day. And at 7:30p.m at night, i decided phuck it, get in there and just lift. I was extremely pleased with myself today
Deadlifts: (video below)
Last set: needed 380lbs for 3+ reps. I got 16 reps. Last week i did 385lbs for 1+ reps and i got 10. So ya increased by 6 reps. Just felt amazing today. I could of had another 4 reps to hit 20, but i did not want to push it 16 was plenty
Extremely pleased.

Your transformation is amazing. I have shamelessly copied your workout routine and found it to much more effective than the 3/4 day splits. Keep up the great work and good luck with your goals.

Very nice progress. Do you think you will cut ay time soon?
[QUOTE=AlexRO;1027717033]Very nice progress. Do you think you will cut ay time soon?[/QUOTE
Currently been cutting for a week and a half bro. Plan to cut to either 175lbs or for 4 months
Great transformation my friend really mirin' the hard work and consistency. I'm currently doing p/p/l and just wondering weather you are still a believer of doing low rep heavy on compound movements like bench squat etc. I've just noticed you've been doing 10rep.
P.s I've been training for 5 months.

In my opinon anything compound aim for 5 reps and 4-5 sets with the same weight. Ex;
Me squats: 340lbs for 5 sets of 5 reps. After this i will proceed to max out with around 435lbs,etc.
Hey man I recently started working out a few months ago, trying to gain some size now. I've been doing a bro split and I've seen some results, but I'd like to take it to another level. I only have Monday - Thursday to work out, could you possibly recommend me a routine? I'm def mirin' your gains man, good luck with the cut, you'll look badass this summer.
Impressive gains. Good job

[QUOTE=Whitekoala;985237263]its not too big bro. Most peoples maintence intake changes everry day. it can vary. I make sure i gain weight, anyway how.
Also fat gain was a minimal. Seriously
I still have visible abs at 191lbs at 5'9 which is huge. I plan to get to 205-210lbs.
Also i was barely gaining 0.5lbs a week[/QUOTE]
If you were gaining .5lbs per week then you were at a 250 cal surplus not 700-1000... right?
[QUOTE=andale927;1049737171]If you were gaining .5lbs per week then you were at a 250 cal surplus not 700-1000... right?[/QUOTE]
My estimated surplus was so many calories, i think 3500 calories. I was eating 4500 calories a day and ya gaining 0.5lbs a week. So my real maintence wasn't 3500 calories
Thats the thing, u never know what ur really maintence is.
