well as of right now they are only 19.25 inches. im trying to get to 20 inches...im guessing they are over 20 with a pump...but I would like to have pumped 21 inch arms this year...

So far this week, diet has been on point, training has been killer. I've had some of my best workout in a long time, back at my old gym. Strengh is going up ! I feel like im growing, slowly but getting leaner. Its going to be a slow process. I got 21 weeks to jr.nats. Prob, kick up the diet around 12-15 weeks out (depending on conditioning) ...

 

[Chris250]

Trained by myself today. Training partner has the flu so I was on my own. Had the wife spot me on a few things. But for the most part, it was all me...did chest today, nothing else...

Hammer incline press - 90 x 15, 180 x 15, 270 x 10, 320 x 10, 410 x 5/ dropset 360 x 4
Bodymaster incline press - 150 x 15, 200 x 15, 250 x 15, 300 x 10/ dropset 250 x 5 + partial reps (around 7-8 reps)
Dumbell flat flys - 50 x 10, 65 x 10, 65 x 10
Close grip flat press (for innner chest) machine upright press - 100 x 15, 120 x 12, 140 x 10

It was a quick fast pumping workout. I didnt feel as strong today, as I normally have been but my partner wasnt there to push me, and to motavate me. But, the pump I got today was huge. I normally wouldnt do this many sets for any bodypart, we did a hit/yates style of workout, with pump sets at the end of the workouts. But this was a nice change of pace...

Took the day off, due to taking the wife to the doctor office today. She has been have some horriable headache's and she is on day 9 of having one. They go from being just a nagging thing, to having to have her lay in a dark room. No pain meds have helped her, nothing seems to really help for the long term.

So im on line now, getting ready to go take her to the doctor's. If all goes well, then im going to go do arms later this afternoon, since I took the day off from work. So please pray for her, as she is getting a MRI on her brain to see what is going on. Im somewhat worried, but im trying to stay positive about the whole situation.

well they did her MRI, but we wont know the results until tommarow. They are suppose to call about blood work later tonght...

as for me, im going to go train arms tonight in my local YMCA gym..I dont feel like taking the drive up to Burlington to train at Sportworx...But, it should be a good workout anyway...Progress, has been really good the last couple weeks. Im leaning up a touch, but im growing at a very good rate. My weight is in the lower 250's range (252-255) but not near as bloated at I was around 260lbs..Im trying to work my way up to the upper 250's range before I start dieting down in a couple months...(jr.nationals)
It's 20 1/2 weeks away now, so its already getting closer to prep time. Im excited for this year. I think I have things figured out on my diet...Im going to have to go back to keto style more this year, to achieve the conditioing Im use to having. I think I have more thickness, and size...Going to change up training alittle bit to get more roundness...more pumping stuff, more reps...
