New Front and Back Pics

[Lucky13MN]

Taken after tonights workout... dang chest have never cooperated, but it will come in time. That's actually the only part I'm not happy with so far.

Behind looks better than the front. Back looks good, lots of potential.

As a bodyweight only enthusiast, so are my recommendations. I'm sure a week of high volume push-up sessions, mixing up the types of push-ups (some with hands on chairs and going very low), would carve some nice lines into your chest. If you are up to it, how about 20 sets of 10 reps each to start with 60 seconds recovery between each set. Or if you are capable of more, how about 25 reps every 15 minutes until your total count is 500.

Then take a photo, but be prepared for some next day healthy muscle soreness.

Whatever you do, you seem to be a man on a mission so I'm sure your photos in 3 months from now will show some real nice progress.

Thanks pierini!

My back has always been strong and takes shape really well, along with my neck.

I'll try that Monday with my chest workout... do you recommend I do that in place of bench, etc or in addition to?

I actually have push-up bars on my chin-up/vkr rack I guess you'd call it!

PS
I'm definately on a mission... I know I post a lot of pics in a short amount of time, but it keeps me going and keeps me honest.

Hope you all don't mind...

The type of push-up workout I was thinking of is one that you would do as a stand-alone workout. It's not something that you do after you have already worked your chest with a traditional barbell/dumbell/machine workout.

If you can bang out 200-500 push-ups after already taxing your pecs with weights, then you are a bad mofo.

Good luck and let us know how it works. After a high volume push-up workout go look at yourself in the mirror and smile because the next day you're gonna hurt.

LOL

Sounds good, I'll let you know how it turns out... looking forward to it!

Should I alternate or do this for a while on my chest day?

What it would really mean is that you didn't really work hard enough with the weights! :

Lookin' good Lucky13MN. Pic posting for motivation is good -- do it as much as you need.

Thanks cursor... it's really helping, along with members' tips and the info here.

Well I'm a little biased because my workouts are bodyweight only. So my answer is that this would be your chest workout. But if you have bulking goals, then listen to what others more qualified have to say.

Good luck!

Arms and shoulders look great! Keep working on that chest, it will come along soon.
