    nice shoulders big man.
    Thanks Max! I wish I would work harder to have your cuts.

    All diet brother.
    I have no size, so I think you are in a better spot.
    Yeah I hear you about diet, but you got size... and if not, at least your shoulders and tapered waist give that effect and that's what its all about.

    Hmm....I guess.....
    But when I wear clothes, it doesn't look like I have ever set foot in a gym....
    My gf even said so last night.....we had the discussion the other day about me looking small....she didn't think so.
    So then last night we were out, and I was wearing a shirt and stuff....
    Then when we got home, and took off my shirt, she was like "yeah, you are right, you do look smaller when you are in clothes....like you don't go to the gym....."

    So VERY Frustrating to be lanky, at 6'1"
    And you want a big back and broad shoulders......

    Guess I need to shop at Baby Gap. :disappointed:
    I think before you stated somewhere on the boards that it is very difficult for you to eat enough calories to sustain a long term bulk cycle. I'm 5'11" and I wouldn't think that 2" would make much of difference, but I guess it does.

    Does in my case.
    I take after my mother, and have a small frame....
    tiny wrists.....

    And yes, trying to maintain a daily intake of food >3500 is VERY hard for me.
    I can do it for like 2 or 3 days....but then I am so stuffed, that for the next 4 days I eat around 2500 calories or less.....no appetite.

    Do you live somewhere warm? White t-shirt? Handy bucket of water? :p

    LOL
    It's warm now....Va. Beach.

    Been hitting it hard for a few months. Finally hit a PR of two reps at 280# on flat bench. Squats I'm at 5x15 255#. Deadlifts are 5x15 265#. I've put on about 10# of muscle over the past 6 months. Right now I'm 5'10" at 187#. Trying to use the bicycle for about an hour a day to throw some more mass on the legs. Hell of a lot more work to go.

    Congrats on your success so far. As for me, I don't chase aesthetics but they are a nice side effect for me. I'm more into the strength side but I wish you well as you continue your pursuit of gains.

    Need to know what your maintenance calories are, and then eat at least +500 calories more than that......daily.
    Lift heavy, train hard.

    My favorite part of this video is your smile at the end. I love it! Amazing lift and 300 is my goal at the moment. I'm at 260 right now for a 1RM.
