Pecsbrah's Bulking in Kiwiland and Straya

[pecsbrah96]

High school finished, so plenty of time for me to lift/eat/sleep repeat. I'm a NZ brah, probably going to melbourne uni next year.

Currently about 1 month into bulk, up about 1.5kg. Calories at a poverty 2600 atm.

I might get alot of hate, but I do not squat for now. My flexibility and mobility sucks ass. I have spun my wheels for too long in the past and I am making it a priority to leg press at least 3 plates per side with good ROM before commiting myself with mobility/flexibility to progress on squats. Yeah, my legs are that weak lol.

No reason to squat if you don't have the flexibility/mobility for it.

Make sure to do mobility work everytime you are in the gym though. Good luck

omg no-one on the forums says this lol. ^^cannot agree with you more.

Foam roll after each session. Thanks mate.

[TSwiftToujours]

Yeah, I mean you'll just hurt yourself if you aren't mobile enough, seems you already know though!

I know you said you can't squat, but no deadlifts either?

[Bronzzi]

if you dont mind me asking where are you from? You use kg so your not from murica, but you told me ur not aussie :/

Finland man!
lol, have you ever even heard of Finland?

[pecsbrah96]

I know you said you can't squat, but no deadlifts either?

Both require a degree of lower body flexibility I dont have. Im going to be honest though, even when I start squatting regularly I doubt that I will be doing heavy deads. IMO they are a mainly powerlifting exercise and for hypertrophy purposes, opting for rows/pulldowns/chinups etc is much more efficient.

Finland man!
lol, have you ever even heard of Finland?

Yeap, make sure to hit up them scandianavian sloots for me haha
