I’ll asses each week how I’m going I’ll be on mass prop tren a and test still for this comp ahahah so should hopefully just fill up those muscles and stay shredded ideally lol

Sounds good man. That gradual bump is ideal, especially with the gear you're on. Those compounds keep you lean but you still have be careful not to flood the system. Just keep an eye on how your weight and pump feel week to week.

P.S. Pizza day is well deserved :)

Your tris will only really catch up if you push heavier on the compounds. That 40 kg close grip on the Smith is fine for pump but you need heavier close- grip bench, dips and skullcrushers for real growth. Keep the pushdowns and extensions for finishing but the meat of the tricep comes from loading it hard.
