Good stuff OP, Your legs for sure did get a bit bigger. What do you do for them? impressive back. Also is it me or does OP need to hit traps more?
Looking good man, the back is def coming along nicely. As for the person who was wondering how you're moving on the court, I can only imagine you're agility has improved. I know a lot of guys who don't want to bulk up cause they think their shot/ quickness will degrade.
Getting bigger has definitely improved my game. The biggest change is probably in my lateral movement. I used to get beat off the dribble a lot but now I can stay in front of guys. I can guard guys a lot bigger than me in the paint and not get thrown around. And my favorite thing now is setting hard screens. If the guy's teammates don't call it out then he's getting laid out every time.
hahahha, dude i love it. i feel that way even tho i am super skinny. honestly since i am so boney, when they run into any part of my body they will be hurting. i can't even say how much you inspire me to be a better person. when i finally settle down i swear i am going to go page to page and read EVERYTHING in this thread. but hey, after i'm def going to take u up on that offer to play some ball! keep up the good work.

man I need to get a gym membership. I've been trying to tone get cut..muscle growth here and there but not really the results I want. What does your diet consist of? lots of protein, little or no carbs?
Lots of protein(mostly from chicken, eggs, milk) and carbs(rice, beans, pasta, bread). I'm not trying to get lean though so obviously our macronutrient needs are different. deadlifts db shoulder press db rows bb curls face pulls
A UFC Gym just opened up right down the street from me. I got a free trial membership and this place is sick. It has a full size octagon and some really large areas for sparring and bag work, full gym w/ lifting platforms and bumper plates, a turf area w/ tractor tires, prowlers, and battle ropes. And surprisingly it's not full of Tapout bros. deadlifts - 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 245x5 trap bar deadlifts - 225x2x5 bent-over rows - 95x12, 135x10, 135x2x8 face-pulls kettlebell swings planks cable crunches
I have a couple of questions about working out. I want to get cut/buff. what does your diet consist of after a work out? How many days do you wait to let your muscles recover? Do you work on certain groups of muscles a day or do you have a certain workout routine?
Go to google. Figure out what body type you are, google a clean bulking diet to follow. After you're bulked up do a keto diet (google it) and get shredded. Work out 5 days a week atleast, no excuses. Might as well go over to bodybuilding.com and soak up some helpful tips if you're serious about it.
