Arms/Delts/Lats look GREAT, lower back does not look too good, and there is no definition in your legs. (Your legs actually look "small" compared to the rest of you).

That backround looks familiar. Was that taken at a certain other forum member's house?

datruodb · 10-12-2005, 06:38 PM

Yeah that is what I have to work on (legs) in this off season....That is the slowest part of my growth...not that I don't bust my ass on legs but the just grow slower and all my weight (fat) goes to my legs I keep abs year round even through bulking, but fat goes to legs....Lower back will always struggle. I have high lat insertions so that legs are my biggest target this off season...I will just try to get better peaks on my bi's and maintain every thing else, but focus on legs and lower back....Something to always work on...sucks!! Oh well goes with the sport...Thanks for the info

**johnsbod** · 10-12-2005, 06:47 PM

Upper body looks good, good back thickness, legs needs to be brought up a bit and so does back width. You're in great shape though. :bigthumbu

**NNTB** · 10-12-2005, 07:00 PM

Yup... what they said...

Keep up the good work bro...

Hit the squat rack

If you check out the pics Robert posted in his Mass building log here:

http://ironmass.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3163

You'll actually see that his legs look better than they do in that Back Double Bi pic...

The Back Double Bi is probably the worst pose for him, with regard to the areas he has to bring up the most... i.e overall leg thickness and lower back thickness.

Check the Side tri pose, and the Front Relaxed or Lat spread pics that he posted in his mass building thread.. and you'll see that he actually does have better leg definition than it appears in back double pic.

However, overall mass in the legs and back, to bring up the upper / lower body symmetry is definitely the main focus for now.

And yes Skel... that is a very familiar backdrop... Hmmmm...

Here's a much better pic of Robert...( legs anyway ).

Still has to hit legs hard for sure.. but I think this pic does his legs more justice.

( Hope you don't mind bro! )

Look good.

Only lagger I clearly see is chest IMO, mainly the right pec.

datruodb · 10-13-2005, 08:02 PM

I just ordered 5lbs of Synthol for my legs...Will that work?? HAHA I'm just playin I am going to the gym at 715 2 night so i can do my 10 sets of squats again.. my dub4's need to be 30's!! Now that would be sick!!!

**EME** · 10-13-2005, 08:11 PM

I'm right there with you bro.

I did leg workout "A" last night... Leg workout "B".. aka 10 sets of squats will be Sunday.

Hey, I'd be happy with 26's or 27's by next June. :nosthumbs

Tear it up on the Squats man!

Legs and lats could use work, but good job...

dnyc99 · 10-13-2005, 10:09 PM

Great work Robert!

As soon as I saw your pic I knew it had something to do with that particular pose that didn't show off your leg muscles very well. EME confirmed it with those extra pics.

Fantastic job. Keep it up. :winkthumb
