You could always try holding two dumbbells in each hand.

Nice workout. Was it hard to get your arms back down by your sides after all that lat and tricep work?
...chad...

One day I'll have tough time having my arms by my sides.

I got on the scale yesterday and weighed 243. That was a disappointment! I'm up to 5500 cal/day and only gained 1 pound this week.

I did do a poor job of drinking water this past week. I normally drink 1 gallon or more per day, but picked up one too many diet cokes this past week. I'm gonna regroup, conintue eat big, and drink plenty of water. Let's see what happens this week.

Very impressive!!!

Your bodyweight has skyrocketed! I haven't put on any additional pounds since the semester has started. . . I am eating well, but I am always on the run.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I'm focused, wanting to put on some much needed size. Finish up that thesis and join my efforts soon.

Below are some pics after 5 weeks of training and 20 pounds increased bodyweight. I'll be using these as a reference point for the future. They will help me see increased mass and help me improve my posing.
