My shoulders are definitely my most responsive muscle. I don't feel like I work them any harder then other muscles but they seem to respond so much better.
My diet is not one that is written in stone.. I don't eat much crap but i don't shy away from stuff like turkey bacon and hamburgers. My job makes it tough on me as far as eating goes. I am a UPS driver so stopping to eat every 3 hours is not possible.. I bring 3 shakes with me every day and drink them during the day as well as have a solid lunch and solid dinner after work. I have always had trouble gaining weight and was 100 lbs when I turned 18 and only 130 like 2 and a half years ago when discovered what a good diet, hard work and a bit of gear cld do for you..

**rubix6** · 08-13-2007, 01:54 PM

looks good!!! keep it up

**topvega** · 08-13-2007, 06:16 PM

Thanks.... Hopefully i will be able to pack on some more muscle with this winters bulker... Just not sure if I will be able to keep my calories up around 6000 a day. It's tough to take in that much. I wish I had a job that was less active so i didn't have to ramp up the cals that high. Anyway thanks for the positive words...

**boslogan** · 08-15-2007, 08:03 AM

The UPS drivers I've seen run their asses off all day long! Kudos to you for having a real job and still getting to the gym! Anyone who skips a workout because they're tired can take a lesson from topvega - if he can get there after his work day, you can too!

**eacman65** · 08-15-2007, 08:06 AM

where do you get those tank tops at anyways

**Fletch3138** · 08-15-2007, 09:44 AM

check out the training routines for the cast,easily find it on the web,oh and air brushing,some abs have no depth and texture.
