What are you gaining in weight monthly?

Nodiggity, I'm done gaining weight for now, I'm keeping it right here and increasing my strength greatly at this point. Biggest reason, is Rican and I are most likely doing a powerlifting event for fun in July, and I will be competing in the 220 class, after that though, I'll push it up.

JPT, the only movement that we do that might hit the rear delts are the rows. We also added push press and although they target mostly the front delts, the rear delts do have a small role. (which you know) But that's something to keep in mind to add in maybe. His form has improved dramatically by bringing in his grip some and I'm gonna push him to get WAY passed 260!

the rear delts are easy muscles to grow b/c they are rarely used unless specifically targeted. either reverse peck deck or bent over raises 1-2x per week will def do nothing but help...Strong rear delts will also help to improve your strength in exercises such as the bench press. With a strong well developed upper back you will be more solid on the bench and be able to generate more power. They will also help your squat because the bar is placed across your upper back. By having big strong rear delts and traps you will be able to stabilize the bar better and not hunch over in the squat.

260....please....i'm thinking 300 brutha!!!!!

Lol, 300x5 will prove to be a challenge with my closer grip, but I'll see what I can do.
