No, it’s about to start now.

75x9 last night on DB bench. Just started creatine last night so I’m expecting some accelerated gains soon. 80’s will go up within a few weeks.

I agree, but what I’m saying is that I’m doing everything that I can do to overcome my HORRIBLE genetics. It’s more impressive to me to see a guy making gains in the gym by hard work and diet, then some genetic freak that can just do whatever and make gains.

Some guys are way ahead of others to begin with. Gains are impressive, no matter where you started from.

Why? I know you are much stronger then I am, I don’t need to see it in person. If it was to offer advice, sure I’d be game.

How am I supposed to take it, after you invite me to lift after you ‘chuckle’ at my progress and the weights that I use? Of course I’m going to question it.
