na mate, its 5kg potato bags, i make my own, and then buy the powder flavouring.

Basically, cut the potatoes into wedges with a sharp knife,
put into a big bowl, drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle the flavouring on (sold in tesco) mix it all in.
Shove in a big baking tray, leave for about 45mins, carbs sorted for next day.

Start of the year i was leaning right up, but then had commitments with work and was just not primary focus (i go a bit strange on low carbs, like a constant hypo. feeling). So i floated around the same bf for a while, now im on a high dose cycle, looking to put on some more mass for the next 8 weeks, followed by a 2 - 3 week water drop/slight fat drop phase, then holiday.

Tbh, i chop and change like the wind, i know that, but its only cos i pretty much hate what i see in the mirror most of the time like quite a lot of us and think either im too skinny one week and then im too fat another. Stupid f.ucking hobby :lol:

And re. the ice cream, yeah extra calories, taste nice and doesn't bloat me (its low cream and fat ice cream btw).

Im hoping not to gain anymore fat, or very little so i can lean up whenever the time is right.

I know, there are times when i just want to say fu.ck it and not go anymore.....then i still get up and start lifting those bloody weights!! :lol:
 
i know you dont do dl and still have a decent back... iv just swapped rack pulls and using wide'ish grip pull ups as the first back exersice. my traps and erectors are just so much stronger than the rest of my back ... not sure how they have got that thick but lower erectors are deep.

any tips on the pull ups to improve lats? the wy im running it atm is 50 reps in as few sets as possible.. then when i reach 30+ reps in 3 sets or less i add more weight.

try to take them slow and stop at the bottom too

Yeah, use your arms as hooks and completely focus on the lats actually doing the movement. I see lots doing pullups and mainly using bi's in the exercise. arms as hooks, focus on the back pushing you up fast and then control it down.
