I'm glad you put up a picture of your back...JACKED! It is absolutely thick as can be. Nice work. What type of exercises and reps do you normally use?

The key for me was really concentrating on squeezing with my back and holding the contraction and thinking of my arms more as hooks.

1)Wide Grip Chin-ups: 1 set to failure
2)Narrow under-hand grip pull-ups: 1 set to failure

*Note - I would just stick with these two instead of going on to similar hammer strength machine exercises but i am not strong enough on these due to my weight to do more than a set.

3)Behind the neck Hammer Strength Pull downs: 1 set to failure followed by a dro set to failure
4)Close Grip Hammer Strength Pull downs to the front: 1 set to failure followed by a dro set to failure
5)Hammer Strength Wide Grip Rows: 1 set to failure followed by a drop set to failure
6)Hammer Strength Narrow Grip Rows: 1 set to failure followed by a drop set to failure
7)Dumbell Pullovers: 1 set to failure followed by a drop set to failure
8) Rack Pulls (barbell is about 12-18" off the ground in the rack): 1 set to failure followed by a drop set to failure

If u arent getting your back pumped like arms then u r not squeezing hard enough.

It looks like your right arm. I look again, and your left arm appears to hang straight down while your left is pulled back a little bit, which is probably just creating an illusion, but your left arm appears thicker for some reason.

Your biceps are huge compared to your forearms. What gives? How tall are you because you and I have similar builds (except you have more mass than I)? I am 6'4"

it's amazing how different the same person can look with different angles and changes of lighting.

i used straps for about everything until the beginning of this year and never did any forearm specific training. they are slowly catching up. My biceps have always responded well to the way I train them. I am now trying to get my triceps to catch up. Once that happens they will be past the 20" mark.

I am 6'2". I have long legs and a shorter torso.

I can get a back pump most times, I am ALWAYS sore as hell the next day from my back. Your routine looks interesting, few free weights and a lot of machines.

I have long legs (36" pant length) and a long torso (extra long jacket).

20" guns soon? Nice.

Good job.

i used to do heave bent over rows but i feel back so much more on the hammer stuff which is as close to free weight imo as u can get. if i could do more sets of the chin-ups i would drop the first 2 hammer exercises.

Lefties are good for fighting man, they never expect to get knocked out with that left.
