What training principle do you follow Mike?

I cant say I follow any principle at all. I have always trained by how I feel, and what I feel like doing. If anything I tend to do heavy sets on basic exercises : )

Awesome session there mikew!

 

[Samoan-Z]

good to stop... since im taking the Gakic, my muscles actually sometimes don't burn or can be overloaded to the max I experiemented with this last week upon completing 32 sets of bicep work and learned to realize when it's time to stop training the muscle lol. so kuda for recognizing and stopping your self.

Great arm workout btw.

Here i see the difference between you and me.My CG bench is close to same as regular(145kg*3/155kg*5) ,but you have 40kg difference.Good job still and congrats getting that PB.Curls looking very strong also.
Lookin very muscular in the pics mike.Looks like the hard work in the gym has paid off

 

[El Freako]

Those pics are awesome, especially from the back. And those arms of yours are epic!

 

[Mikew]

Thanks guys : )

Lion: Yea, my regular bench is a lot stronger, but I hold very close when I do cg bench, so I lose a few kg´s from that : )

Freakozoid: Thanks man : ) Yea the arms are epic....epically out of proportions : )

Veggie: Gracias senor!

My number one aim is still to improve my back a lot, and Im focusing on that. My weight now is 96kg. I have not gained a whole lot of fat since I stopped dieting, and Im gonna try keep the weight under 100kg (for cosmetic reasons:greddy

Thats the way mike.Ive seen guys doing so called "CG presses" and their grip widht appears to be anything but close.

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Looking big in those pics Mike. Your arms are huge and your shoulders look like boulders.

Back thickness today, my favorite.

Deads.

Started with some easy squat warmup sets, to get the blood flowing good in my legs. I usually do this for deads, as I think its a better exercise for warmup then to actually do easier sets of deads : ) Then I went straight in there.
