Compliments are always an ego booster. I love when people tell me my arms are big. I'm not a big guy, only 6'1" 192lbs, but I do love the build in my arms!

whats funny is i get the usual compliments from people , but i dont think anyone can compliment like mom.
She embelishes so much, last time she saw me her eyes got all big, she gasped for air and said in spanish " son, your scaring me, your not going to get too big are you?!!" with a worried look on her face... lol .. and im not even that big. 5'6 159#
Hit it hard breh !!!This. I maxed at 235 pre injury
i only work out for 45min 3x a week.. im pretty busy as well. im curious what my max is , havent maxed in few months.
had a good workout last night after feeling better from the cold, and didnt loose any weight from the loss of calories over the duration of being sick.
Felt strong and got a couple more reps in , didnt expect that.

i practiced form on deadlift for straight 2 month before i put any real weight on it when i frist started. its all about practice. it really develeoped my lats. i use to have 0 lats, now i got bat wings :hat:
I've been feeling like I need to do some cardio, since I'm a bit out of shape and stuff. Problem is, I hate cardio.
Anyway, I've tried this out before and it nearly killed me (in a good way), so I decided to give it another go. Cosgrove's Evil 8. Anyone ever do it?

Here's one of the most effective Cosgrovian complexes:
Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift
Bentover Row
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Good Morning
On round one, perform 6 reps of each exercise, moving from one exercise to the next, never letting go of the bar, never resting. Remember, you'll finish all six reps of each exercise before moving to the next one.
Rest 90 seconds after the first circuit, then perform 5 reps of each in the next circuit; rest 90 seconds, 4 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, 3 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, 2 reps of each; rest 90 seconds, and then do 1 rep of each.
Cosgrove says that the entire workout should take about 12 minutes, not counting the time you spend sobbing like a little girl in a purdy pink dress.
Gave it a go on Monday night and will be doing this on Monday, Wednesday and Friday since I lift on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
