Another amazing story SeaMusc. Completely drawn in to the characters and wondering how/why they have such a special bond. I had to laugh when Ian asked for some protein powder - been in that situation before! I love a good size difference, but it looks like that won't last long. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you SeaMusc, it's amazing how your imagination and writing talent combine to give us the ultimate fantasy. It gives us a glimpse into your psyche - if you woke up as a 7' 500 pound monster, we just might know what kind of intense feelings and love you'd have for your lucky mate. Stories such as yours remind me that some of the biggest dudes crave companionship. Ideally a companionship with someone who has an equally barbaric and raw love for muscle.

Which brand(s) are your favorite shirts?

brotip: choose graphic T's that have a cotton/polyester blend instead of 100% cotton. They are a lot thinner and will stretch a lot more, so you can go down a size to keep the waist area clean n' tight while the chest area is stretched around your (massive) pecs. Give it a shot. I'm talking about stores like PacSun with brands like Volcom, RVCA, Hurley, etc. I avoid thick 100% cotton T-shirts at all costs.

On a day-to-day basis, it's definitely the pump that drives me. It's so addicting to feel bigger than ever and full of confidence. There's also an underlying drive that I have to be competitive with myself - never really with other people. I know I can push for more and improve lagging bodyparts if I just tweak some things. On a purely visual level, I want to look better and better in Y-cut Gold's gym tanktops (not stringers) at the gym. I can't really wear anything else now - they are so comfortable and show off the traps/delts/lats really well. I do remember the early days when I wouldn't dare wear even a sleeveless t-shirt in the gym; recognizing this shift in my psyche is also motivating!!

aussiegrowinbig - it's always a struggle to balance life priorities, but I look at it this way - if you are serious about lifting and have your career, you've got a winning combination. You'll find ways to lift and eat properly around your work. I know you will because you are clearly concerned about how you can achieve your goals. Just focus on solutions (e.g. packing a spare set of gym clothes in your trunk so you're always ready)!

thanks for the encouragement fellas, I've been hungry for every back day lately. Attacking the lats with new angles and really imagining where the muscles are pulling. post-back workout pumped pic. Still working on the lat spread. I need to learn how to fully relax and spread the outer lats to get that extra pop. Shoulder blades need to stretch out. Regardless, this pic surprised me and I gotta admit I am happy with the results so far. Pics can be brutally demoralizing or, in this case, very encouraging. Onwards to thicker, meatier, wider cobra lats!

BigBro, thanks for posting this. I was ashamed of my addiction/interest in bodybuilding as well. No reason to be, really. There are a lot of freakier and kinkier things out there!! Great size on you at 6'2, no wonder the big guys respect you!

How's arm training goin guys? I hit chest today, took this pic, and realized my triceps got a good pump. Also the illusion of perspective to make the arms look bigger! The red juice is creatine if you were wondering!

Growinbigger, that's an awesome pic. Huge arms and sexy chest. Thanks for listing your favorite exercises. Could you elaborate on the number of sets, reps, rep speed, and rest periods?

How do you set up the cable overhead extensions? Do mean you stand and lean over with the rope attachment, hands near the top of your head?

What arm move have you discovered or tweaked recently that works well for you? I always loved the reverse grip single arm pulldown to hit the triceps with my arm at my side. Some people do them across the body but I always felt it more in my triceps keeping my shoulders square. Here's a pic of my latest 19" achievement fully pumped.

it's a good ol' lat-off!

Just say it on your profile!

What do you wear at the gym?
