    I am in a bulking phase right now. I am 5' 8 and 195. I am bulking up to 220 then cutting down to a bout 200 with 6-9%BF. At least thats the plan.

    traps seem to be lagging a slight bit (but may just be me cuz i like huge traps), and to make the front or back double bi better, flare ur lats a bit more. where're the legs?

    You're a monster. You definitely have a football player's body. Everything look svery well balanced from what I can see. Are your legs as big as the rest of you?

    Played ball 2 years ago for a school in nebraska. My legs need some work but they do even up to the rest of my body. I will post some pics soon of them. I know i really need to bulk my chest and lats up. I think my arms are okay, 18 inches.

    Really routine is only 4 days a week, and it varies on how i feel. If i feel strong on bench, then I pyramid. If it is a bad day on bench then i work the isolation movements, pec dec, flys, ect. Same goes for other body parts. I figure why force you self to do something your body is telling you it doesn't want to do.
    m =chest
    w=arms
    f=back shoulders
    st=legs

    As far as diet goes, its just smart dieting. Eat 6-7 times a day, eggs, lots of fish, non processed meats, vegs & fruits, protien shakes & peanut butter. I stay away from all fast foods, candy, soda, processed meats.

    Great build, but if I were you I would have my tape measure checked out because I have seen alot of 18 inch arms and that ain't it. Giving you the benefit of the doubt they are maybe 15 inches

    If you think his arms are only 15 inches I highly doubt you've seen a lot of measured arms.
