Why is there a wet spot at the bottom of your penis?  Did you forget to shake?

Also, looking good man.

Why are you looking that close at my penis?  And I probably did forget to shake.

To see if it's bigger than mine of course.

The second I saw this pic I could tell the difference. Nice work!

Shut up and lift

Killer traps, arms, and pecs.

No back shot? Legs?

Anyway, no wonder your friends thought you were on steroids. Much difference bro!

EDIT: just wondering bri, have you ever thought of cutting? or you just want to get bigger and stronger?
The reason I ask is that you always seem to be oriented towards size and strength, and thus there might be no point cutting. Cutting will most likely make you lose strength.

Age = 20 
started in February 16th 2007: 58kg (127.6lbs)
current : around 79-80kg (173.8lb-176lb)

Thanks fellas. 

Lately I haven't really been about size.  I'm actually not very strict on my diet anymore because I've been so busy lately to really concentrate on that.

But I've just been busting my a** training, trying to keep getting stronger and stronger at the same weight.

Because of my lack of motivation to keep shoving tons of food down my throat, I'm actually losing a little weight since I keep getting stronger.

But basically being strong and 'conditioned' is my major goal.

huge difference you gained a ton of muscle, keep it up!

first day with no buds, 11/17, need a new job. 1 down 13 to go.

Legs? Back?

I don't have any way of taking back and leg pics unless I get someone to take them for me, but I feel weird asking people to do that.

Most cameras have timers. lol, but yea.. I would feel weird as well.

But great job Bri, I can definitely see changes since your last update.

"The only failure that is final is to stop trying to improve"

I wish I were as lenient as you. Seriously, I felt a bit competitive with your lifts at the start of the year but then I went from strength training into cutting and you went from strength training into powerlifting.

Quite frankly, I'm thinking 'I SHOULD BE DOING WHAT HE'S DOING!' but aesthetics mean too much to me. Sadly...

After I cut up a bit more nicely though, I'm gonna get into some strength training again, then at the end of my summer, gonna bulk like a mad man. :)

Enough about me, let's talk about me. :p
I'm more jealous about your leniency with diet above anything else.

Really great job there buddy, I'm moreso impressed by your Deadlift though. Amazing.

You truly are an inspiration to us all. Keep it up.

Thanks guys.  I never went into powerlifting though.

I train for strength.  It's similar to the way a football player trains.  Actually, it is the way a football player trains.
I'm looking at things in the long-term.  Once I have the 495 lb. deadlift, 405 lb. squat, and 315 lb. bench press at the same weight I'm at now.  I will be a freaking monster.  (5RM's for each lift)
I could gain a bunch of weight, and I'd get much stronger much faster, but I want to hit those numbers at my current weight.  I'd be a beast if I had those numbers.

looking massive there bri.   i guess all those iso's and machines are really paying off for you.

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

Bri, I remember seeing a pic of you about a year ago and you don't even look like the same person... what ever you're doing.. keep it up cause it's working! 

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

The camera doesn't do me justice ever.  I'm always upset at how the pictures come out.

hey bri

what are all your current maxes?

sorry if this was already asked and i didnt see it when skimming through the posts.

I'm not sure about what my 1RM's are, but my 5RM's are:

Squat - 265
Deadlift - 360
Bench - 220
OH - 140
Power Clean - 155

I know I can do more, but that's all I've done so far.  I deadlifted        360 x 5 yesterday, and it was pretty easy.
