Monkfish - Rate my fins.....

Good pics. I think you should work on your chest as it's what struck me as the odd one out, in terms of muscle groups.

**Monkfish** · 30-12-2009 08:14 PM

Cheers guys,

You're right about the chest. I'm really not happy with it in comparison to everything else so think I'll maintain elsewhere and focus on a specialisation programme. I've been reading about this on t-nation recently too, but hadn't seen those links. Thanks for posting them SLW

Also, my lats have come on a little but you're right WOFD - my posing of them is crap! Off out now, but will post a rear lat spread pic soon to see what’s really going on.

Laughed about my arm development, that happened by accident when I was trying to get my chest and back up! Haha

As for show weight, it seems there isnt any restriction if I enter in the novice class of next year's BNBF, however I think I'll end up around the mid 80kg's like stronglikewood suggests. The date for the South is 20th June, so mid March will be 15 week out prep-time!

Thanks again for taking the time to post.

make a visit to temple gym and book a super advance session with the king of back, dorian yates. hahaha

his back isn't lacking dope-y lol

i personally think you just need to increase volume, have a look at my chest routines of late, i have seen drastic improvements from the volume increase!

That's what I love about compounds, you can forget the endless dumbell curls etc and your arms/shoulders will naturally grow as you develop your legs, back and chest.

Nice work overall mate and you can see you've developed a lot more from your first post...just the chest that needs a bit more mass/thickness.

As suggested, here is a rear lat spread (posing is crap, but I'm working on it!). What do you think? Do my lats need a specialisation phase too, or just focussing on bringing them out more when posing?

Keep up the good work, so much good inspiration on this board, you along with Strong are a few of my favs, epic db bench in journal

**Monkfish** · 08-02-2010 11:27 PM

Cheers bud, but have the DB benches paid off?!

Here are my progress pics after 4 weeks and 10 chest specialisation workouts. Let me know what you think!
