Your horizontal pulls (barbell rows) and vertical pulls (chins/pullups) seem to be lagging in comparison to your bench. You seem to put ample emphasis on your chest, but I think it would do you a world of good for you to build your back much stronger. As you probably know, this would help out with your 3 big lifts. Also, I think it would help you if you were squatting every week (as opposed to every other week).

Just my opinions… Hope this helps man

Thank you for your input. My barbell rows def. need work but my t-bar I can usually finish with 5 plates. My chin ups are horrible. And for my lower body I barely started working it out around 3 months ago so it is pathetic. I’m working on everything right now because I think everything is lagging.

Well this is the end of my 5th week.
My current stats

Chest: 45.5
Arms: 17(I can not get my arms to grow for shit)
Waist: 34
Thigh: 26
Neck: 17.75

I’m super excited about my lower body gains but I know my upper body is lagging. After I finish 12 weeks of WS4B I’m going to a 5 day bulking split and my biceps, back, and legs are going to get hammered.

Me Upper body

Today was a good day but I feel like I can push harder. Today I got 295 3 times on bench and felt like I could have got 5 but I didnt go for it. I wanted to try 315 3 times but my class was going to start in 45 minutes so I had to hurry.
