Dude judging from your pictures you look like you are in tank mode Super thick dude!!!!

yeah, we are in "tank mode" right now! haha I'll start dropping the body fat around april..i'm hoping to do a bodybuilding show around july-august

the bad thing about being thick is finding clothes that fit...its not like i can run out to the big and tall store considering i'm only 5'6"...haha i don't know how those big ass pros do it!

I'm a short bastard to. I only got you by half an inch. I'm no where near as strong as you though. I checked out your videos. I had time off due to injury but I'm really small boned and I could never get to numbers that you push. Deadlifts close but that's it. Great log.

I'm going to start incorporating more super sets and giant sets to cut back the time in the weight room. There simply isn't enough hours in a day for my busy ass schedule right now. These felt really good tonight though. My shoulders and traps were swollen all to hell and on fire.
