is strict form for you simply with no pause and no accelaration or also with slow negative??
chin ups look very good for strict form man i do the chinups with pretty crappy form but it has given me pretty good results so why change it

Thanks man,.
Well I try to do the corrext motion foremost. When bench pressing I go down to my chest, pause so the bar is still and then return it. When I chin-up I go down 100% and don't sway forward and try to use my lats and bis only. I guess as long as you see results it's all good, but I've stopped getting good results. :/

This training was kind of impulsive training because me and my friends went swimming and jumped into the gym and did some lifting.

dude you look a bit skinny in the sidechest?? have you lost weight or is it just bad perspective i remember you looking bigger? sorry man you looking skinny wasnt a good opener lol man im sorry your looking very good and cut man!
i can understand your a bit frustrated when your upper body lifts dont get better...i cant really understand why it is....i would recommend you to follow my GREAT back routine......1xdeadlifts and 2xweighted chinups per week...nothing else....your potential in the chinups must be big....you really need to get them up man it have to be possible!!
your calves look like my quads

actually I am starting to go up in my lifts even my upper body ones. =) This week I hit many new records
I think I look skinny in my side chest because my legs dwarf my upper body. My arms are 35.5 cm flexed (+1.5 cm in just a few weeks). My chest is over 1 m so I'm not considered small at all IMO. My quads are 58.5 cm and my calves 41 cm. So there's an unbalance. My arms should be as big as my calves if I had more symmetry.
currently I'm at 76 kg.
dude the only reason my chin-ups were that weak was because I had to keep perfect form not to get pain in my lower back. =) Your program sounds good, but I don't think my back is a problem for me. It's my chest and if the mirror tells me right, it's heading in the right direction.
haha.. thanks man... i've been hitting the calves like a maniac. I've never had my calves so big as they are now. Previous record was 40.5 cm I think at 80 kg.

haha, okay! i didnt see the new records only saw the lifts and i was thinking maybe a new biceps curl record but else nothing new in the stars having some problems paying attention sometimes ya know oooright, my calves are same size as my arms and i never trained them and my squat is low. and im hitting my arms very hard!! i have heard the calves=arms theory, too. but i doubt its accurate.....most people seem to have bigger calves than arms EXCEPT beachlifters.

Dude don't bash yourself, you do some heavy **** in your journal.
Thanks semag... you've been getting up some serious weights.. that 195x20 is not a bad 20 reper. You'll squash my 220x17 record soon. :/ Not talking about the incline dblifts. just insane.
Edit: Come to think about it, didn't see your 20x195 was ATTG. respect.

Hey gav. Thanks dude.
3 sets is definatly enough I only do 3 sets and I've discovered a great technique to use (thanks to semag)
Do 1 set 6-10 reps with full range of motion
Wait 15 breaths and then do as many as you can.
Wait 2 minutes and press out as many as you can.
Really blasts them to hell. I've grown over 1-2 cm in the last month, I'm pretty happy about that. =)
