I bet they pull massive weights in Valhalla.. See you all at the local gym there!! Been holdin steady in mid 150's these days.. Goal has always been to hit 160, work on leaning out, and staying around that weight.

I've managed to relax on my diet to make the gains needed. And i'm finally comfortable with my calorie intake. I'm lifting heavier, less reps (except i still go higher reps on isolation stuff).

Oh, Post script- I brought up ammonia, or smelling salts a few pages back, well, I bought a little container of it.. First off, hot damn that stuff will make your nose burn and eyes water! I attempted smelling them twice.. Once was for a heavy squat, and the other was for a heavy deadlift.. And without a doubt, it works.. Anyways. just thought i'd report my findings.

And in the spirit of Larry Wheels.....
POOOOWAAAAAA!

You have a fortunately placed vein under the bicep, a dark patch creating the illusion of shadow, greater depth and such even greater bicep size! Well done!

Haha i always find it strange how everybodies veins differ.... Even my 2 arms are different. My left arm is my favorite cause it has a 1 big vein that travels down the top of my bicep, it's a beautiful thing.. Right arm just has that one, and it doesn't really ever fill up or pop, it just sits there.

Kind words Jimmyjam! Appreciate it bud!

Two bodybuilding principles for any muscle also apply to biceps: 1) training through the extremities of the movement (fully lengthened position to the fully shortened position) and 2) maintaining tension on the desired muscle. Easy way to help maintain tension is using the preacher curl bench. Standing with a 90 lb ez curl bar swinging your hips to get the weight up will do nothing to grow biceps.
