    Upper Respiratory Infections are fun.

    No appetite. Haven't really eaten a substantial meal in days.

    Everything hurts, especially my old lower lumbar injury. Feel weak, tired, and slightly inebriated. Absolutely no motivation.

    You'll be fine. I take a week off in between cycles, whether bulking or cutting.

    Keep resting, eat right, lift right.

    You'll grow. It's not uncommon to drop a bit before making big gains.

    It looks like you've got a ton of forward lean. Try tensing/flexing your abs/lower back before a rep and see if it's easier to keep your torso more upright. You also need to come down a few more...

    Kickbacks are more like double biceps pose cable curls. They're a contraction exercise, not so much for mass building.

    My favorite mass builders are:

    -Decline Skullcrushers
    -Overhead Dumbell...

    Your bicep works in two ways, lifting the forearm toward the bicep and supinating (turning the palms up) the wrist/forearm.

    If you learn proper technique the risks of back injury are relatively minor. Go light and go deep and you'll be fine. Squatting form is more foot placement and depth. Dead Lift form is learning how...

    Squatting Deep

    I noticed my thighs were lacking so I've started my squats over. In my progress photos my Vastus Lateralis and my Rectus Femoris were the majority of my legs so I set out to start anew.

    I believe it's like doing wide grip pull-ups wherein they target the upper portion of your Lats. At the tie-in under the arm-pit. That's where I'll feel them tonight anyway.

    When I'm going heavy or my forearms are particularly tired. Otherwise I try to do DOH grip with higher reps to work on their strength.

    The same reason I can flex my right lat but not my left. Mind-muscle connection.

    Even if the muscle is flexing it's not doing the lift for you if you're using proper form so I wouldn't worry about...
