Na, just the angle. Leg in first pic is smaller for sure compared to third pic, just the angle in the third pic makes it look kinda small.

Youre a freakin beast bro. Any chance you could film some lifts? Im sure everyone would LOVE to see em!

Quit your hating..... Now remember its on a smith machine not free weight so its probably easier than you think. If I could film shit and show everyone and not have to worry about privacy then hell yeah. I might do it anyway and just PM you homo's

Well next week is the last week and I will try and do it for ya as I just doubled the dose of the winny and in just two days (yesterday and today) I'm already feeling ridic. But definitely next cycle it will be done. Remember I bodybuild not powerlift.

me too..but we can lift heavy too right??

Good work big guy...lovin the log already!

**Reed** · 12-08-2008, 08:42 PM

Day Looking Sick as FUKK!!: Well per Horse's direction I doubled up my winny dose starting yesterday and I already feel a difference. Look ridic. Those pics before are shitty as hell and don't show ANYTHING of what I really look like. I will hopefully get something together soon on a digital camera

Any way today

Incline DB: warm up 45 and 65
100 x15

)

270 x12
360 x10

Cable crossovers: x15

x12

Incline Machine hammer grip: 165 x15
200 x15
270 x9 (this was funny as I told my friend to just put it on 240 he just secretly put the whole stack on there together for me without my knowledge.

)

Rope pressdowns: x15
x15

Skullcrushers: 95 x15 supersetted w/ close grip pushups till failure
125 x12 same

Straight bar pushdown: x15
whole stack + 35lb plate x12

Well as my first cycle is coming to a close I really enjoyed the progress and the way it made me feel in the gym. It was great. I know I tend to stay heavy and focus on weights but thats the way I have always trained. I always wanted to be as strong as a RB in the league or college before I started training. Bodybuilding isn't about weight but at the same time it really is. I mean who the hell wants to be on over a gram of juice and not be able to play around w/ 225 on the bench.... only little p*ssies IMO. You got high school kids doing it like that without juice.... I know its hard for some to grasp but its true. Step your game up if your not, like come off the juice and actually train like grown men do and not be a weak bitch.... Anyway thats that.

why smith machine? no spotter?
lookin strong bro
how many cals/ed are you consuming?

**Reed** · 12-10-2008, 07:33 PM

Yep no spotter. I will be back on the dumbbells once I get done with the cycle. My shoulders are my strongest point so I'm not exactly looking to make the rest of my physique look out of whack especially since I have my first competition in August of next year. Trying to get some sick looking wheels... thats what I really want. And with the line of work and routine I say about 5,500

**peachfuzz** · 12-10-2008, 09:25 PM

hey how about a sample diet from the man himself.

**Reed** · 12-10-2008, 09:28 PM

Who me or Dave Palumbo, Chad Nicholls, and Hany Rambod. hahaha Mine is in the front fuzzy. I cut my oz on the meat down to about 7-8 oz cause thats enough and I was getting backed up. Plus I took out one meal and added a cheat meal for the day. Oh no I said it I have a shit meal once everyday. My physique just melted like Ronnies

Its in the log. I was having issues with my knees at first but I got it all together and even with my winny I'm not having anymore problems. It was an overtraining issue is what it was... All better now

**Reed** · 12-12-2008, 12:45 AM

Sad day: Well I woke up and had to be at the hospital for my uncle who has pneumonia at its pretty serious. So I missed working out during the early hours but I went tonight at midnight. Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. I have been having problems with my right calf for some reason. I have painful cramps almost all day long for about a week now. Maybe I'm not use to all this walking I'm doing at both my jobs.... it is affecting the leg workout too. Any way started with hams for that very reason....

I was wondering as we just talked about my deads like 4-5 days ago.

**Reed** · 12-15-2008, 10:17 PM

Your right. I need to continue to work. I wish I could show you guys what I look like at the gym. Much better and thicker. Like a whole different person. Hopefully my parents will let me borrow their digital camera soon.

Any way I need more thickness in my upper chest and overall, biceps need more peak and thickness, triceps need to get larger and more defined, quads need more sweep and cuts, more ham drop, shoulders more cap, calves need a shit ton of size, back more width and thickness, etc etc. How I feel about my current physique......
