Ok, me pushing it out, lol. This way if I do nothing, all I have to do is suck it in, lol.

They are actually across the room by at least 15 feet.I like how you have weights in the background but not close enough to see the dust on them. Bwahahahaha

Ok, Oldjuju, I trained again tonight.
Was arm day, easy my favourite day.
So I hit a pr on tri push downs,
195 for 7. Soon I’ll need to wrap weight around my waist so I don’t lift off the floor, lol.

Thanks for the advice.I was all pumped and excited about climbing high in numbers on tricep push downs but just remember you absolutely do not need to be doing high weight for biceps and triceps, that isn't the best way to grow them and it also can really mess with longevity.
Thanks for the advice.
I mix it up, but thats not heavy to me.
My arms are just under 18" the other night with a pump. My wife says my shoulders and arms are almost as big as my head, lol. That was great news.
Right now I have zero elbow issues or tendon issues.
For tris I only do 2 exercises. 4 sets of around 10You are lucky! I made the mistake of doing single arm tricep extensions with dumbells thinking that was the main way to gain tricep muscle with only dumbells and a barbell. It made it now so that I will feel every tricep exercise I do directly except dips (unless I do other tricep exercises with dips) I moved to lower weight and focused more on technique (also need to buy a longer push down rope to separate farther on the stretch end) which makes me really sad because I can grow my triceps really easily and big but not as much anymore.
I totally forgot about overhead tricep exercises with a cable machine. Thats what I am going to be doing tomorrow! I would be curious to see what one of my bicep workouts do to your biceps even just once lol. Do you do dips at all? I find they are pretty important for getting the classic look for around chest and shoulders anyways.For tris I only do 2 exercises. 4 sets of around 10
so tri pushdowns
then I put a rope on the cable machine the do overhead tri exercises.
so 8 sets, that all. But I push really hard.
bis all I do is barbell curls and concentration curls. Same sets as triceps.
that’s it.
I experimented with all different ways and found this to be the most effective.I totally forgot about overhead tricep exercises with a cable machine. Thats what I am going to be doing tomorrow!

That size is not in the too big category. Also, there is no such thing as too big of arms....Keep on growing and gaining strength.I gotta ask, does anyone think having too big of arms looks silly? I was thinking of discontinuing training mine for a wile and focus on the rest of my body so they looked more in proportion.
Maybe I resume training back, I haven’t trained that in like 4 years because I get so much training for it at work, and I was starting to look hunched because of my lats and lack of rear delts.
Oh I’m not going to look any better end of Jan.Been a bit since last update:
@Sorbate we are still doing a check in end of January...pics (including legs) and measurements so please try to limit the Christmas Toblerone bars.
- Have been lifting consistently but keeping intensity lower as i have been focusing on my jiu jitsu game. At 50 can't burn the candle on both ends or injuries come fast and furious. So focus right now has been on my leg lock game (its getting solid again) and getting in tons of sparring (as opposed to teaching)
- I am in maintenance mode for weights but due to the increased jiu jitsu activiy my body weight dropped 2lbs so sitting at 188. Ironically my strength has remained constant so hopefully that means the weight loss was fat not muscle. On the mats students have been commenting on how strong i am so i will take that also as a good sign.
- Still lifting Upper Lower split. Seems to work the best for athletics. I like push/pull/legs but if training with intensity its too puch overload on the tendons/connective tissue and something always say fuck you when training jiu jitsu. (mostly bicep tendon and elbows)
- Just 100mg test per week plus 25mg DHEA and 100mg DIM daily.
- Diet is 80% clean. Two takeout meals per week and lots of potatos in the airfrier so likely a little too much oils (health oils but too much). Not tracking cals right now (only do that when on a bulk or cut). Do eat very consistently each day and weigh everything. LOL wife got pissed last Friday night as i weighed out 30g of chips for each of us...she seemed to think that was going too far but funny i am in such a habit of weighing food it just seems natural.

You look good amigo. No homo.I just want to try to stay in proportion.

Only show your strengths they say, lolLooking good @Sorbate
I’ve been doing a ton of jiujitsu so i am a little leaner too. Will take a pic soon.
I see you’re still hiding those legs
