Powerlifting or strongman? How much of a bulk are you going for?

 

[SteveX]

Doing another powerlifting meet. Gonna go up to 181, so ~10 pounds

Thanks! I appreciate it

I was told I needed more eye candy in my log (@TehWeak1)

Some ab shots for the people and some comparisons between this year and last year and this year vs when I started getting my act together again.

I tried to get some booty shots in here, but they were too big

A slight glimmer of knee valgus on the right on the last rep, but overall not a bad day for squats

I need bigger arms! LOL
Great progress, man!

 

[SteveX]

The secret to my arms is my height. Pumped and flexing they are only a bit over 17", but when you factor in my 5'6" 170lb frame they appear to by 21".

It's all about the MySpace angles. Fat girls learned this over a decade ago. The strength community needs to step their game up.

I got some studying to do.
Problem is there isn't an angle in the world that will make mine look full and pumped.
