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.

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.

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.

/waits for Extremist Pullup to join the thread.

If they don't bother your shoulders than go for it imo. If they do hurt, then don't.

Overhead Dumbell Extension (2 handed, go heavy and use deep controlled reps). These are great for the portion that comes down by the inside elbow.
