Torn bicep update...
Hi Brawners;
I've still been training hard and plan to update this more on the weekend but thought I should post an update with my torn bicep.
It's healed up nicely and I am using it with some decent weight but am being careful. I may still get it operated on but part of me wants to leave it since I don't want to be out of commission for too long. I know it's best to get it done right though...
If interested, , you can compare the new pics with these from Nov. 7 Here:

And here's now (I'm not flexing or anything fancy and the photos are a little blurry - sorry):
As requested, the other arm for comparison purposes:
It doesn't appear too deformed now - it's the one on the right. LOL
Thank you,
OD

just looks like you masturbate only with your right arm. perfectly normal for a right handed dude. I am ambidextrous so to achieve symmetry is easier for me
Hi Fellow Canadian Brawners;
I haven't logged much in the last week or so but have been pushing just as hard as usual (as above workouts), not missing workouts, sticking to my diet and trying to get enough sleep.
I completed Leg Day yesterday and rested today. Legs took approx. 1.5 hrs. with a little less rest time in-between this time around.
Yesterday (Friday): Leg Day
I completed 4-6 sets per exercise and 6-15 reps (or more until failure) with some drop sets, cluster sets and super sets on the following exercises:
Just had a little nap and focused on nutrition.
Tomorrow: Chest Day
Also, for those interested... my Dracorex SuperDeca Review Log can be found here:

Thank you - cheers,

Hello Fellow Brawners;
I've been so busy that I haven't logged much on this log in a little while.
I have been pushing hard (as per my previously outlined workouts), haven't been missing workouts, sticking to my diet and still trying to get enough sleep. I now have a FitBit that I got for Christmas so that might help me guage my sleep a little better and tell me when its time to go to sleep - duh!
I completed Arm Day today and my torn bicep really wasn't an issue. I didn't curl 160+ lbs. but went with 120 Lb.s with lots of reps and a good mind / muscle connection and felt good.
Tomorrow: Leg Day
Thank you,
OD

Hello Fellow Brawners;
I've been training regularly but haven't had much time lately to update this log much.
Today (Sat.): Shoulder & Abs focus
I completed 4-6 sets per exercise and 4-15 reps (or more until failure) with some drop sets and super sets on the following exercises:
Tomorrow (Sun): Arms Focus
Here's a couple basic, quick pics I took in a hurry before I left the gym and when the change room was empty. I will add more and include other areas at some point when I have the time to flex and pose a little and take them properly. I could also use a tan.
I'm currently sitting at around 225-230 lbs. for those interested.
Thank you & keep pumpin'

nice veins!!! I love veins. Your arms look great for just recently tearing your bicep! Take some melanotan and start tanning, you will look so much better! I started taking some a week ago and i started tanning every other day in the stand up tanner, first day 5min, next time 7 min, then 2 sessions of 9 min and i am already darker. I love that stuff its the best. The first few shots make me feel sick, but its worth it. I usually take it every day until i get a good base then i take it every 3 days or even 1 or twice a week just to maintain and just tan every now and then so i don't get too dark.Hello Fellow Brawners;

You arm looks like it's healed nicely, there's a big noticeable difference from the start of your log till now, what are you doing to build up the top of your pecs right next to anterior delt.
You got those looking noticeably thicker from the start of your log.

Thanks @Damon
I appreciate that since to me I usually feel like I'm staying mostly the same since I never go too crazy with my calories. Since you mentioned it, here's a better (worse) start photo. - Ugghhh!
For your question... my guess is that I switched from heavy dumbbell presses to Hammer Strength Iso Lateral Incline Bench. Of course, it could also be all the other chest exercises helping but due to consistency over time.
I should probably update my Log while I'm at it... I've been chipping away, training hard and doing decent with my diet.

Its gotta be the hammer strength machine, the iso incline is one of the best. Precor has something similar but it's not as good.
Ohh no way there is noticeably increased size and definition in your log photos
Nice stringer, it's good to see one of those. I should dig mine out but my garage has been way to cold lately.

It's so nice to be back at the gym and use some of the equipment I don't have access to in my basement and have missed even if I have to wear a mask between equipment.
Today was Leg Day. I finally finished my first split completely. Now it's time to restart and up the intensity.
I am taking advantage of this and making sure that my form is good and I am keeping a good mind muscle connection as a priority to ensure I don't damage myself as badly as I have been over the last two years.
Thanks, good luck & keep on pump'n!
