dayumn...thats great progress brah!!

thank you ( ; , will cut after hari raya while trying to gain mass, gonna do it for 3 months..

Too little sets I think. For shoulder presses alone I do 10 sets already. Do lateral raises too instead of front dumbbell raise. For shoulders alone I do 26 sets, not including shrugs and warmup sets.

26 sets of shoulder work? whoa !

did you feel your traps sore instead?

Thing is I can clearlysee the muscle striation in my shoulders, but I can't seem to get that decent cannonball shaped delts that separates the shoulders from the biceps and tri's.

BYK GILA 26... KENAPA YA ?

YEAH! MY TRAPS ARE SORE INSTEAD OF MY SHOULDERS. Why is that so? The way i do is wrong?

if too heavy, some people tends to push too much along with their traps. here's a few tips :

1) relax your traps and keep that in mind that you're pushing with delts, not traps (mind-muscle connection)
2) push slightly OUT and UP, instead of directly up. (you can practice with machine first)
3) look at the mirror to make sure you relax the traps all the time instead of "cramping" them

Hmm, 10 sets shoulder presses, 6 sets bent over lateral raises, 5 sets upright rows, 5 sets lateral raises. Too much ke? Read that Arnold and Steve Michalik went really high on their sets and got great results. So yeah... But I think my poundages are lower compared to those who go lower sets. Currently doing 20kg drop sets for presses and rows, 7.5kg for bent overs, side laterals 9kgs. Is it ok?

I used to really neglect my delts. So trying to even them out.

Alright. Thanks for the tips bro! I know whats wrong already. I dont relax my traps. Ill try it the next workout.

pehh...huge quads

Towel has to go, contrast ratio is too high for the black. top left corner, get rid of that item, and the bed frame and the little frame above it Reduce opacity on the FIT logo. probably put it in the center.

LOL...hahaha...if only i have free space @ studio to do it

Seriously a promo shoot? It needs a better background la...

The concept is there, background is too busy and the character doesn't stand out much because the photo editor might have pulled the contrast level on the Curve Function in photoshop too low (or other similar actions) , the vignetting is a little bit too much. All he needs right now is a good photographer, a good tag, and a nice clean background or some props like bench, some plates etc.

bata thanks forthe comment.. legs have been my favourite body parts to train.. (; im a squat freak
