Jan 2010 progress pics

[massingUP]

Hey all -- a few pics from last month, at 220#. A bit leaner than I have been in the past, but weight's staying about the same, so a bit more muscle...

Sorry that they're a bit grainy - working in low light with a crappy little point-and-shoot.

Really looking amazing Massing! Nice to see all that hard work paying off so well. When do you start your training classes for us "slow" learners?

just a few suggestions. when was the last time you did a cut? continual bulking will at some point stop your progress. i would suggest a 8 week cut and 2 weeks off completly from lifting and eat normal during those 2 weeks to give your body a rest. you will find that when you go back to bulking you will grow better. remember its bodybuilding what your weighing shouldnt be a major issue but how your building lean should be. you can look bigger while being leaner.

Hey Joey - thanks for the comments/suggestions. I did in fact do a bit of a "cut" this past fall for 2 months in Oct / Nov -- increased cardio, changes to diet, different lifting program. In fact, I change up my lifting program every 6 weeks, just to keep the body guessing.

As for taking a complete rest, I do try that from time to time, but haven't done so for a while -- I appreciate the reminder. And ditto to the comment about weight -- I try to use the mirror more than the scale, but sometimes i get caught up with the numbers.

At any rate, would appreciate any other comments/feedback. Thanks again,

- J.

...massingUP, you're gonna need to get new undies soon. Between your quads and your package it looks like you're about to burst right out of'em! Great work, dude, keep it up!
