Jake1224: Progress Thread (pics)

I do 1 superset of various bicep exercises after I finish my squat routine. It takes more time to set up the weight than it actually does to do it.

srs constructive advice here

Supersetting a bicep exercise with a bicep exercise is pretty pointless. The general point of a superset is to save time by working opposing muscles. what you're doing is just one big set, there isn't a huge physiological difference between two curls.

I really enjoy pyramid sets and dropsets for some of the more compound lifts, give those a shot.

Yes. Basically its 1 giant set till failure on each exercise, which are done consecutively. It works because I'm able to do more reps or weight nearly every single week.

If you can do another curling movement immediately afterwards then you didn't go to 'failure' on the first exercise.


There's no difference between doing one bicep exercise for as many reps as possible and doing one for a few, switching, doing another, switching, doing another.

Came in expecting the normal, "GJDM" and "Nice Progress" comments. Turned into a bitch fest over someone else's body.

all you can hope for is to look more aesthetic with more mass. Suppose you can get aesthetic by sculpting too, no homo.

[Pskee]

Interesting place to have a tattoo brah. Pretty original.

[decmonk]

Keep busting your ass and you'll get there brah, also what college? We got some big 'ole biggens down here in my gym.

[jake1224]

Maybe because my old AVI was had pro as fuk lighting and angles and these pictures don't

[TheSoupster]

IMO singlets are ghey (even on big guys) and I also thought you were bigger. Regardless, I can see a difference and to say you don't lift is fuarking stupid. Just keep at it, bud.

does this guy even lift ^

[Zincton]

Jake I would eat you, especially with the **** I'm on. You mad

good progress my man keep it up, who cares what other people think you should have gained, you progress at your own pace. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to you. Compared to how you looked 2 years ago you look phenominal now, keep it up!

[Handcannon7]

@hc7

yea that's what I thought now your mad, good luck with ur Internet bullying goals in 2011

@Jake

I wasn't talking to u when I said that... :/

lol wut nood? im clearly not even mad at you, the only thing im bad about is when *******s like jake talk sht and cant even back it up, you know what nood? You wanna talk sht to more advanced lifters? Fine, because you can actually back sht up but jake cant, so if you wanna call that internet bulllying, lol thats fine youre fukin 14 w/e but its the truth the kids looks ****ing awful for lifting for almost a year, so please both of you save yourself the breath and stop fuking talking ****, ill see you guys when i go to a meet at 148 and pull 450 raw and place (srs can bring back a medal in the jr division pulling.)

[InstaSwole]

Looks to be some solid progress. Your bodyfat doesn't look too high to keep bulking, but I guess it's your choice.

[Hughsey1995]

must admit I was expecting more jake, no idea why, I guess I just thought your previous avi looked bigger and you seem pretty knowledgable. But it is clear that in the two years you have made progress. Between the 8 month pictures I can see little difference. IMO you should keep bulking till christmas or so then cut or just do a minicut then resume bulking.

my $0.02

[cocoaustin]

There is alot of arrogant people in this thread!
Just keep it up and get bigger

You don't understand my point.

You were give Jake a hard time because he doesn't look good/weak/whatever

So I just said all that stuff so u realize what it's like to be bullied by other people just because they "progressed" better then you.

It's almost as if u prayed to god to make this thread just so u can come in and give him a hard time, this also isn't the first time u bashed people's progress in a progress thread, so have a taste of your own medicine...

Also pulling 450 at 148 is cool and all, but if u compete in open men's (the only division that matters) you'll get shat on considering ur other lifts

A 450 deadlift won't make up for a sub 1000 total

[Little_Moth]

Progress is progress bro. Be proud of what you've achieved so far.

I go to failure on each exercise. Obviously I have to drop the weight in order to keep being able to do more reps but I just like the change in movements. Some allow for more cheating and others Target different aspects of the lift, like negatives for example. Yes, I could do just one big drop set, but this works for me.

Good stuff compared to old pic

...why so much hate ITT?

Lol I normally don't take sh*t personally on here but you're such an incredible ******* I can't even restrain myself. Pro tip: Not everybody in this world is born with perfect genetics and starts with perfect stats and trains perfectly from day one. Not everybody in the world, even serious lifters, get to be 6'0 200 @10%. You're a delusional manlet if you honestly think that I'd be there in two years from my starting picture.

Gtfo.

[cmwcharger]

handcannon is so fuking gay fuk

[InstaSwole]

True this.
Judging by the before pics I think this is a case of fairly poor genetics and a bad starting point, although Jake is obviously persistent despite this and he is making progress which just makes him that much more honorable. HC, you have to put things into perspective before making a judgement.
