I think it has to do with technique but you guys aren't going to listen to me....like you didn't listen to me last time and look where that got you. The longer you do something incorrectly, the more of a habit it becomes which means it takes even longer to make it right. See a pattern?

Yeah but I do believe that especially with younger lifters the tendon and ligament strength takes a much longer time to catch up to muscle strength. Also, some people can get away with the worst shit form all their lives and be fine while others get injured right away, so I'm sure genetics play into it somewhat

True. Plus....EM gets injured in one local region: his lower back. He doesn't get shoulder injuries or any other upper body injuries per se because his bench form is fine.

But his hips are the cause because of his form on Deadlifts and squats.

urm no Iv had an injury in my lower back, an injury in my lower/middle back and now an injury in my upper/middle back.

I had a shoulder injury in 2009 aswell and some very bad elbows when I first started training in late 2008 to early 2009.

i get bloated very easily and i drank 3 litres of water in that workout. Also I gain 4-8lbs throughout the day from food. I bet by the morning I will be around 206-208.

Heres a pic of my abs in the morning, tensed. The lighting is very good to show the outlines but you get the idea, although this pic is maybe a month old, more like when I was weighing around 200 in the morning. Right now Im around 208 in the morning I think

By the end of the day I have a belly like a pregnant woman though lol. And I know I have added some bodyfat since I was 170 because Iv lost some definition in my back and quads but it cant really be helped. Iv gained around 35lbs since then I cant expect it to be all LBM lol.

Anyway heres the pic:

lol some reason my traps, arms and delts look tiny there, right now they are lookin alot bigger and the delt and arm size has given me a pretty decent side tri shot which in the past has always sucked... I think my chest has grown too. Maybe its the angle of my arms, they have always looked skinny from head on...

Yeah no offense but you look kinda small there, definitely the lighting though. I have found the more light the more jacked I look. Same here though my stomach is flat in the morning by the end of the say it's huge!

 

[ExtraMile]

I might get a few pics tomorrow morning for you lol to show it is just the lighting that made me look small, maybe Ill get the side tricep I was talking about

that pic was just for teh abz anyway

 

[ExtraMile]
