Approved Log My Bulking Cycle

How'd you deal with all the Christmas splurges? I honestly struggled a lot. It was hard to say no, and I ended up caving in.

@shrekmode I don't drink at all so that doesn't bother me and we always have fairly healthy Christmas feeds too so I've been going pretty good. Christmas day is the only day I haven't trained, I honestly crave training and would be a nutcase if I didn't

I like the routine here, good focus on isolation movement. You should also consider adding in some more compound exercises like close grip bench presses or even chin-ups just so you can engage multiple muscle groups and increase your overall arm strength.

@darkHORSE Sorry about the late reply I Will take that onboard chin ups sound like the go, thanks for your feedback

Your workouts are great. From what I read you have a few injuries.

My 2 cents... for your bench, 70kg is good, I don't know if you're doing this but I would slow the reps down. Shrugs with 20kg, if it's easy to do, try to add a bit more weight (when you’re ready). Same with your overhead press.

Legs, 60kg for 20 reps is great for endurance but try adding a bit more weight as well and dropping reps for strength. Also, weighted dips will be something you should also aim for.. but overall nice work!

Looking leaner

I was aiming to be bigger but didn't happen like that

I'd be happy with these results my bro. Just up your calories on the next run. Food's the key to packing on size.

You can't go wrong with a lean and strong look brother. Like @darkHORSE said, next cycle

Good to some updated pics @Blasteroid leans always a good thing

My body comp was very close to yours and I always had issues with putting on size. Once I had sorted out my foods, the rest came pretty easy. Proper gains take years.
