Yes - 100%.

Thanks for all your feedback.

I hid my face for the same reason everyone of you do so, in your avatars - whatever you fear, I share.

Thanks for the feedback.

I thought the heads really added some extra 'voom'. ;)

I had a photo shoot done (vanity project!) and these are the results. I'm 46 this December, so happy with where I'm at for now.

I followed a low salt/carb/water diet for 48 hours beforehand, that...

Yes, a Deadlift Row - a Deadlift, with a Barbell Row at the end. Fancy, but not needed. One could easily argue that you are only placing half as much effort into either exercise, doing it this way.

A-ha! There's those quads we were wondering about.

Now I know why you're getting those numbers!!

Show us a photo of them while you're working them on the Press, and we'll all give you an honest appraisal.

Rest, and enjoy.
You've earned it.

I've always found this - the difference between building slabs of muscle (slowly) to the pump workout you describe (fast), which lasts a few days but soon goes if your training drops off for any...

Yes, this is anal.. ;)

Can your wife spot you on the benching occasionally?

Thank you, but I was specifically referring to Zazen's use of the IF/paleo for himself, and to how he appropriates that philosophy for his own use.

Thus the 'is there a thread' question in regards...

18 and you look like that!?

Wow - massive - that's a 9.5/10 for me. Any bigger and I think I'd have to downgrade you! ;)
