Hi Thar,

You've come a long way in upper body mass since June, especially in the shoulders and pecs.

I noticed your legs are not visible this month. Where you hidin' the wheels? hehehe Keep up the good work!

**Viperspit** · 08-10-2006, 03:27 AM

Nice job, definitely ripped. Keep up the great work, you're doing well!

hybridx · 08-11-2006, 03:15 AM

Great cut man. You'll look even better when you start bulking and add 15 lbs. Your conditioning really shows off your dedication (unless you're just really lucky).

AYung · 08-11-2006, 03:25 AM

Once again man, sick conditioning and were what? 3 months out?
