dmedic72 130 Posted May 2, 2016 BigJnav3 and Bigviffer do you guys drink anything during your workout? I was thinking about getting some bcaa to take during mine. Just curious to see what others are taking.I drink Isopure during. It's hydration, Protein and BCAAs. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigViffer 3,544 Posted May 3, 2016 I've been really working on my back the past couple of months. Unlike the rest of the muscle groups though, it's really difficult to see progress there because well... it behind you. So I thought I would take a few pictures so that I could see how I was progressing. I don't it's looking too bad! There is not much I can do about the extra skin as of yet, but I think it would look even better if that were gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaxmom 644 Posted May 3, 2016 Yep, there is progress!!! Now I need to get off this male before and after board before da hubby sees... And I may need to turn down the AC because goodness gracious, it's hot in here! I joke I joke! I live in Florida, it really is hot! Keep up the great work gentlemen. Great to see your positive posts.

BigViffer 3,544 Posted May 4, 2016 @@BigJnav3 - I've been going through this thread again just looking back on where I was just a few short months ago. And I noticed that I hadn't really commented on your accomplishments. (not that you were holding your breath waiting for it!) Looking back at your before picture, it looks like you are really starting to pack on the muscle! Some very impressive gains man. I bet you're proud; and damn right you should be. That being said, don't get carried away and get a sport injury like us old men on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTone78 58 Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks for the drink replies, fellas. BigViffer, believe me I'm taking it slow and enjoying the transformation. I've been reading up on getting a workout plan and bcaa's are mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
