Guys, I feel that my arms are getting fuller. There's like more density in em but when measured, they're the same as before.

Is it just in my mind or is there an explanation for this?

when you workout, your muscle will be bigger. Maybe you should measure during this time

It's the pump which increases the measurement so I do not want to measure them then as it would not be accurate.

that will make the measurement inaccurate...coz during that time mucle is pumped up with lactic acid...

Pumped with blood

damn thats superb
my gym mate is currently doing 40kg's per side
haha
he's big but not cut yet like darkie

my max is 25kg's per side = weak


hey, no one's posting further progress pics?

If it got pumped with lactic acid the same way the muscle experiences a pump with blood, you'd be screaming.

I LOL'ed at that. I seriously did.

70kg is not too bad.
how many reps?
my bench press sucks big time compared to deadlift, rows, press or squats.
i cant even bench press 90kg properly. haiz... i wish to hit 100kg end of this year
but dang... TENDONITIS screw my progress...

My normal incline is 275 pounds for 8 reps, but now it's 15 reps per set obviously i would need to reduce. =)

Body recomp.

tak sampai 70kg's dude
25kg's per sides = 50kg's
the bar i think around 12kg's je cuz its not the oly bar


actually, i hate barbell bb's cuz for most of my exercise except for back and legs, i love dumbbells


and i used to have tendonitis bro, tapi if u throw away ur ego and rest in between workouts and use lighter weights, it'll heal
and use counter pain like sloan's analgesic during workouts
it'll do wonders

yup... thats what i am doing currently. haha... even bench pressing around 50kg only. =.= wakkakaka...
coz wanna let it heal slowly.

i always believe in bb, poundages come third
my priorties are

1) diet
2) diet
3) form
4) form
5) poundages

Bang u lupa nak tidur haha

haha... i believe in genetics! =.=

YUP I agree on that a lot

genetics 10% je bro
haha
but it doubles the effectiveness of everything including diet, training, supplements and also drugs
haha

You're so wrong. Bob Chick (IFBB Pro) himself said that genetics play 97% role in elite bodybuilding competitions. You can't make a pitbull out of a chihuahua no matter how much you buff up that chihuahua correct? Everything else is secondary. Elite bodybuilders are born, not made. Terry even said so, Kmaru will agree with me I'm pretty sure.

I know a guy here, natural, eats just twice a day and has donuts for breakfast and he benches 100kgs for warm ups for 20 reps and benches 4 big plates a side for work sets of 6-8. That is almost what i deadlift. Genetics mate.

damn!!
haha...

I'm just so jealous when I see him bench. Lol. I train with him sometimes and no way i can keep up with that guy. His bench press workout consists of 20 sets. This was exactly what the psycho did:-

225lbs x 15
225lbs x 15
225lbs x 20
315lbs x 10
405lbs x 6
405lbs x 6
405lbs x 6
315lbs x 18

And the rest of the sets are cool downs of 225lbs. I mean.... wtf?! JonYeap has seen this guy in person.
