Tried out front squats today, and worked up to 3x3 @ 80kg. Anybody want to take a look at my form?

Since everyone is doing back pics I might as well join in. Warning

No lats, no upper back, no trapezius

Heh, better than mine...I guess I mostly posted mine for point of reference and hopefully motivation to repost later this year with a better update.
Excellent news. Congratulations.

Same here. I'm quite confident about my program, just have to nail nutrition.
It's still a good goal to look like how he's carefully positioned to look in those shots. I mean, he's still a big guy in the movie, just not as cut up as they make him look. He's a big guy in Warrior though.
Beaten. His Warrior workouts were pretty intense, I think they're on Youtube.
Tren+Dbol+Genetics+Infinite Time and Food. Anyone can look like Tom Brady with this simple program!
For me it would be BBQ in one form at every meal. Brisket, pulled pork, chicken, turkey, whatever.
Eat clen and tren hard.
Anyone take a pre-workout supplement? I've been thinking about jack3d, and I came across this:

Honestly, you don't need it.
Black coffee will do you just fine. If you're fasting, mix it with some amino acids.
I've used Jack3d, and it's great, but in hindsight coffee has had the same efficacy. Plus, it's cheaper.
Thanks for the well wishes everybody. I have an interview with the VP on Monday. As long as I don't do anything stupid, I should be good to go!

Back pic time!
Upper back is looking ok, mid to lower back needs a lot of work to catch up :/
And to look good from the back in t-shirts/jumpers, it is all about upper back width and thickness!

Looks quite good to me!
Been able to work around my shoulder pain with a neutral grip on DB shoulder presses, can't press as much as I used to but I can rep out, so I'm back in bidness.
In the meantime I'm doing all sorts of shoulder rehab work with bands and stretching out where my pec/shoulder meet which I'm assuming had grown to be too "tight".

Yeah, I'm sure the lighting and Hollywood Magic helps out a lot but I still think it is a nice goal to aspire to as long as you are within reason.
Can't wait for back day tomorrow.
I had to bail after 25 seconds. Can't listen to his lingo.
I used to take them all the time but not any more. It's like many things, the more you take it, the less effective it is and then you end up needing to take it to feel how you would normally feel.
I only have some Craze occasionally if I have to workout at a weird time and I'm dead tired. Yesterday I didn't get to the gym until 11pm and didn't get done until 1am so I took some, (caffeine would have worked too) but really don't get hooked on that stuff.

Man that's a lot of pictures of backs. I'm not sure if I have even recent ones to show.
Falling, the last few responses about Tom Hardy reminds of the Homer Simpson Frogurt scene.
Szu: Something something, Bane hunched over
Falling: That's good.
Szu: Bane standing up
Falling: That's bad.
Szu: Bane in Warrior
Falling: That's good.
kylej: He's also on a shitload of tren and has the power of Hollywood magic behind him, so don't compare yourself too much to those pics.
Falling: (blinks) Can I go and do my back workout now?

Please ignore my messy hair and room. Most recent one I could find, from a few weeks ago.

Why is it so hard to gain strength? Been training for 5 weeks. Went from 63kg to 67kg (5 reps). Tried training again. Could barely manage 63kg for an odd reason. My arms felt fried. My weight hasn't changed at all in the time period. I find it an epic struggle to gain weight. What is a good simple meal(s) that I could potentially add to my diet to increase the cals?
Strength can vary for a lot of reasons. Are you properly rested? Properly hydrated? Were you hungry? In a bad mood? Stressed?
Calorie-rich foods you could add might be nuts, milk/dairy, peanut butter, juices (if you specifically want more carbs), etc. Make sure you are getting enough protein as well.

Thanks
Long way before I attain my goal arms like this though...Awesome triceps!
I wonder how similar is this to what I did in the music conservatory.
in the school I went to, everybody had to take 8 years of piano and only a limited amount of students around year 5 or 6 could say they (somewhat) looked, sounded, behaved and had the knowledge of a true musician/pianist...
all students in years 0 to 2-3 would be newbies trying hard to look like but never being one, like I said you can't accelerate time and development.
Strength training/Weight lifting feels like that in many ways, many more than I thought...
I try to make an analogy to that part of my life in regards to efficieny at the gym, results by looking at the mirror, results on strenght, form on all exericises, discipline.... going by that analogy, I am VERY MUCH a first year newbie but the hope of evolution and what will come if I stick to it makes me want to see the results in the years to come and not give up, patience is a virtue worth learning.
regardless of years, I love working out.

The king has arrived.
People don't realize how much time and effort gets put into strength gains.
The best part about progress is putting things into perspective.
My easy squat warm ups are more than I could do as my 1rm last year.
I'm pulling over 2x the weight on deads than I could last year.
I can close grip BP more than I could 1rep regular bench last year.
My medium shirts almost look like they shrunk in the wash because I actually have muscles developed in my shoulders and back now.
Agreed.
and it's like the more you care, learn and get into it, the more there is to work on and fix and get better at. There is so much more to it than picking things up and putting them down.
I am liking a lot the learning phase I am in now, talking about it with friends that try to do it at the same level, trying to come up with conlusions about conflicting info about everything. the topics of food, exercises, form, pros and cons of every exercise, trying to research more and stuff like that.
it does helps to have some one to talk about it.
not that your back doesn't look damn fine, but your arms and shoulders got more of my attention
Agreed.

Thanks. I wish I could go back and do more lifts that I neglected and do things more "correctly".

hahahahahaha I was thinking the same thing.
Please ignore my messy hair and room. Most recent one I could find, from a few weeks ago.
Here is my back from years ago. I wish I did more rows, deadlifts and squats:
I'm always in awe to see this kind of definition. How each muscle has its own look and just looks so unreal. Good ish.
I am awaiting anwser to this, as that will be my time reference.
A friend of mine with a similar body told me 10 years with the first 2 or 3 "not being very serious" about it.

Are any of you or have any of you done direct isolated arm work to get bigger arms? What is/was it? One of my main goals is to increase my arm size and it's only about 12 inches right now.
