Oh God - ran out of protein powder, and did 2 days on "protein rations" (still got protein, just mainly from food). So sore. Will get more protein ASAP
To save money I did buy some concentrate (80%P; 7%C, 5% F) online, and some isolate strictly for PWO. Finances running a bit shitty ATM. The benefit of this of course is it makes total alcohol abstention very easily achieved, which should be great for phase 2.
Am looking forward to extra shoulder development in phase 2 - my chest is really large in relative sense, and whilst I want to keep improving it, bettter shoulders would be nice to balance it out.
The concentrate was ridiculous cheap - 20kg,$295, and given the collapse of our dollar, thats <$200.

Chest day:
- DB bench same as preivous (but I did bench on SM this time, I think our machines aren't too good and I got better workout)
- SM shoulder press (PB, finally: 10x6; 7.5x10
- tri (same as before)
- 7 minutes of incline bench.
Omega: ever made a client look like this. I'm sure I sound like a "homo" saying this, but this gymnasts body I'd almost describe as beautiful and would be precisely how I'd like to look, although I'd never expect to. And he - like most gymnasts/sprinters - maintains this bf all year round on a high carb diet lol

His serratarus has the thickness of abs in its own right - an 8 pack + 4 attached at the top.
Hammy feels fine this morning. Will hit legs tomorrow

Ok these are 2 progress pics.
Some comments:
(1) everything has improved since start of omega. As I said, the anti-D's I was on made me in a worse state than in those previous photos (i had lost muscle; gained fat). Much worse. This has since been reversed.
(2) I've really only been super strict on diet in last couple of weeks. I suffer from the problem that I think cutting is too easy so can get sloppy on diet. I also had too many birthdays and weddings. I've completely abandoned this "sloppineness", and see any alcohol/major cheats as "physique vandalism". The fridge permanently has a cabbage in it if I feel hungry lol and need to eat
(3) Omega my shoudlers have dramtically improved on your program. My back was seriously pathetic before this program despite being able to do pull ups with 25kgx5(weighted) as I didn't know how to engage it.
Goals:
(1) More LBM, particularly arms/shoulders/back. My chest, ab, and calf development are strong relative to rest of the body (didn't bother showing this in photo). if possible lower bf, but I can do this after the program if necessary.
(2) I realise I should work on my back most, but I've become infatuated by shoulder improvement. I imagine developing a large muscle like a back is a slower process anyway
(3) I wasn't quite doing the leg exercises properly I think in terms of form, so they still have a way to go. I think I have higher bf% there than upper body, so I'd need to cut to make them look better also.
Phase 2:
(1) I don't care how much I'd have to train - I'd be willing to train 2 hours per day if that would give me the best transformation! I have a pretty severe headache condition, but don't notice it too much when exercise, so training is like a drug to me
Long term goals:
(1) to be as muscular as that gymnast with comparable bf% lol
