I don't often post here, but I have an update

[JordanEddy]

Thoughts? I've been working hard on my chest recently. This picture made me notice how grossly out of proportion my arms are to the rest of my body. This is also a fantastically large picture. It looks better as my avatar.

[iNegUthenLol]

Nice bro, What are you eating?

[bit]

yeah man impressive arms, especially those tris. and yeah chest could use some help. you are actually just like me. arms were always easiest for me to grow, but my chest took A LOT of work to grow. looks like you've got some lats as well. great work.

[JordanEddy]

Nice bro, What are you eating?

Thanks. Here's the daily breakdown:

Meal 1: 1 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop casein

Meal 2: 40 grams slow carb, 6 oz. lean meat

Meal 3: 1 scoop whey, 0.5 scoops casein, Go Lean Kashi bar

Meal 4: 40 grams slow carb, 6 oz. lean meat

Pre Workout: White Flood, 20g whey, 15g dextrose

Post Workout: Creatine, 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop casein, 40g dextrose

Meal 7: 8oz. steak or 6oz. salmon, 12oz sweet potato

Meal 8: 2 scoops casein in skim milk

This does not change. It's what I eat every single day. I add one extra meal on either Friday or Saturday night as a cheat.

Thanks! I don't work my arms very often. They just grow, which is cool I guess. My chest is starting to come around, but you're right, it just takes hard work.

[PodRacerSi]

Good job man! You are huge.

[baco_bacon]

Sh*t dude!!! Hectic torso. I feel ya, my arms are a little out of proportion compared to my chest but it's all good. Looking good. Awesome tat(s) as well!

[kpwrestler4]

Holy ****tt man, huge arms! You are an inspiration. Check out my thread in this section, I could use some constructive criticism.

[changetostay]

strong tattoos...

looking good brah no homo

[octhn]

you are a BEAST!!!! dude... so you don't eat chicken breast at all just lean meat??

[Damodred]

Epic triceps man! nice work!

[octhn]

I also forgot to ask what brand of dextrose do you use.. and casein. if do don't mind sharing thanks.. i will try to go on your diet since I need to lose some fat..

[JordanEddy]

Thanks for all of the compliments everyone! I appreciate it very much. It's taken a long time to get to this point, so it's nice to get some strong feedback/appreciation. I know you all feel the same way about yourselves.

To address the questions.

1). When I reference lean meat I mean chicken, turkey, tilapia, etc. I know I wasn't very specific, but it doesn't really matter. High in protein, low in fat basically.

2). I use Optimum Nutrition products for all of my protein needs. They are the best and I haven't used a different protein in over 6 years.

3). I use NOW Dextrose powder. I like it because it's cheap and you can buy it 10 pounds at a time.

Thanks again, guys!

i thought having caesin + whey was bad if had at the same time?

What's your arm workout routine (especially tris?)

[JordanEddy]

What's your arm workout routine (especially tris?)

So, I don't recommend my arm routine very often. The main reason being that I only work arms (on average) once every two weeks. Here's the routine:

Biceps

Barbell Curls (stay strict and focus on bringing the weight up by shortening and squeezing the biceps, don't just lift your forearms up):
- 4 sets of 6-12 reps, final set is to failure with a couple of cheat reps to get the negatives

Supinated Dumbbell Curls:
- 3 sets of 6-12 reps, heavy as you can with good form and squeeze for one to two seconds at the top

Seated Incline Dumbbell Curls
- 3 sets of 6-12, see above for details

Triceps

Seated Overhead Triceps Extensions:
- 4 sets of 8-12 reps, go heavy and get a good stretch at the bottom. Focus on lengthening the long head of the triceps and then squeeze tightly at the top

OR, Close Grip Bench Press:
- 4 sets of 8-12 reps, don't wimp out here. This should be heavy as this is a great mass builder. Not recommended if you have bad shoulders.

French Press:
- 3 sets of 10-15 reps, keep this movement light and DO IT PROPERLY. Your arms should not be straight out in front of you like a bench press. Point your elbows at a 45 degree or lower angle behind your head and make sure to lock out for a second or two.

Triceps Cable Press down (alternate each work between rope and straight bar):
- 3 sets of 15 reps, squeeze hard and go heavy. The machines at my gym don't go heavy enough so I just make sure to lock and hold until it really starts to burn. This is great for bringing out some sick lines.

Forearms

Straight bar reverse curls
- 3 sets of 8-15 reps

Wrist Curls (pick any one each workout)
- 3 sets of 8-15 reps

Hammer Curls
- 3 sets of 6-12, same rules as supinated dumbbell curls.

Hope this helps. Again, it's not the best routine, but my arms have never been my weak point, so I just hit them with the basics.

Also, not sure where you heard this? There is no problem that I've ever heard of mixing the two.

Awesome job! can you tell me what you meant by 40 grams slow carb?

[JordanEddy]

Awesome job! can you tell me what you meant by 40 grams slow carb?

Sure. There are a couple of options really. Here are a few staples in my diet:

1). Sweet potatoes
2). Whole grain organic noodles (I like rotini)
3). Oatmeal
4). Whole grain bread (check the ingredients)

I actually have to be pretty selective about what kinds of grains I take in because I have a gluten sensitivity which causes serious stomach cramping. Mind this when selecting your grains if you have similar problems. It will keep you out of the gym for sure.

Just some examples. Thanks for the question!

whats ur tattoos?

[BRO_v]

whats ur tattoos?

x2

want to know

[DannyAl]

brah. you're kicking ass. great hob.

[JordanEddy]

The tattoos are dichotomous characters. One is an angelic/celestial type creature with big silver wings ensnared by a demonic snake. The other is a fiendish type create with bat-like wings ensnared by a celestial snake. Metaphorically, they represent the struggle to do the right thing and to make the right decision, even at the expense of doing something "wrong" as perceived by others.

Also, I illustrated them, which is equally important to me.

Those are some big *** guns
