So how much muscle mass did you lose? Have you noticed and increase in your speed?

I lost 8 lbs, 2 shy of my goal. But, I did lose 1/4" on my thighs, which is exactly how much I wanted to lose.

Yes, I did notice that I'm quicker like I was before I started bulking, but I'm still stronger than when I started the bulk. So, awesome.

Of course, I'm sure the Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate helped, but I've been taking CM all along. Only started BA this weekend. I noticed improvements before this weekend, so can't all be the BA. Still, BA is awesome.

Well, just got home from the gym... great workout tonight. I felt like I could go for another hour. Chest, tris, shoulders.

I wish I enjoyed doing my biceps as much as I enjoy working my triceps.

Read up about it. Its very interesting in how it works.

Bi's are mostly show anyway, keep on working those triceps for real power.

Oh thats the best. And then once the question pops, "which way to beach?"

thats when you just flex and point...its great!..Im just being silly:D

Good news for you. You don't need to dedicate working biceps. They're a stabilizer muscle, so as long as the rest of your body is growing, your biceps will, too. Pullups, rows and lateral raises all work your biceps just as much as curls and have the added benefit of working much larger muscle groups at the same time.

I just wish I enjoyed that body part more.

Great workout tonight. Back and biceps. Getting more into biceps. Actually enjoyed it tonight. I am going to feel this tomorrow.... but it will be a great feeling.

Did three sets of as many pull ups that I could do. Of course, that was three for each set.... weak, I know. I then did three sets of assisted pullups with 55 pounds of assistance.

Then, cable pull downs, lower cable rows, Lat Iso machines, preacher curls, standing curls, reverse curls, hanging leg lifts, rotator cuffs exercises.

Great workout. I was actually sorry to leave. I need a 24 hour gym.

You guys are definitely stronger and more built than me, I'd say... that being said, I recently had a lot of success with pull ups. I had basically plateaued at sets of 5 (sounds kind of like you with your sets of 3). I started throwing on the weight belt and -adding- weight for my pullups for a few weeks. That got me over the hump, and I can rock out sets of 15-20 now.

Just an idea. You might not have been doing pullups for long, but if you ever start feeling like you're not progressing, think about adding some weight for a while.

I'll give it a surprise.

Weight belt is good. I also dig the assisted pullup machine for developing pullup endurance.

Do as many unassisted as you can, then pull the bar up and immediately do as many as you can with 20 pounds of assistance... then to 40 once you're done with that. Repeat 4 times. In a month, you'll be able to knock out pullups like crazy.

I'm going to try that. Feeling like I'm at a plateau on the weighted pullups. Been using those "can" handles to do them lately. Not sure if you know what I'm talking about, but they basically work the shit out of your forearms because they require you to maintain a much wider, more tenuous grip while doing the exercises.

Yeah, I like the neutral grip pullups the best.

Which ones are neutral grip?
