Holy hell, 585 for 7.... And you consider that not great? That to me is astronomical! I hear ya. If someone else did it, Id be impressed. But, I've done more and first handled that poundage years ago (natural, no juice) so it seems like a regression. Getting 600 or more is my goal for reps. |

Freak! Your conditioning is getting better and better each time I see a set of pics! Your arms are massive!
You're still getting stronger each week, which is a good sign that you're retaining all of your lean mass. Keep pushing big guy!
