I mostly do indirect exercises for arms (bench, overhead press, chin ups, pull ups). Only direct exercise is dumbell curls occasionally. Anything y'all would recommend for an end of workout addition?
I'm just impressed you managed to get a decent shot, this was my attempt with shite lighting:
Not really though I'm the same - chin ups and curls are enough I've always found.
In great shape just now, 5 weeks to Thailand and I'm on course to being the best i have been in years. Doing a lot of cardio, got abs showing through alongside defined chest and wide shoulders. Legs twice a week has got my thighs looking better too. Benefits to a recent break up.
Looking strawberry floating good my dudes.
Im actually taking this week off the gym. Just felt like rest. Hit 125kg on my squat last session tho which was awesome. BP is up to 55kg which is fairly pathetic but still feels like im about to drop that gooseberry fool at any second and brain myself
Really struggling with OHP tho. Failed after the second set on 42.5kg
quick swelfie

Your arms look well defined Brerr, surely you are forgetting to include the weight of the barbell with those lifts? I overhead press 60KG for 3x5 or 5x5 without training it too regularly. Benching 100KG 5x5 before chest injury. It's a strange ratio too. Your shoulders are disproportionately strong compared to your chest?
Rocsteady, EasyGym elevator has great lighting ha, plus Nexus 6P just takes really nice photos. Was a bit awkward to angle the phone though.
I prefer pull ups compared to chin ups and I'd say they're my joint favourite exercise with bench press which I never thought I would say, I used to absolutely hate pull ups because they were so difficult and everyone can see you struggle when doing them. Now I feel like a monkey effortlessly pulling itself through tree tops.
