The (mis)adventures and thoughts of an aspiring master archer, lifter, and fantasy author who happens to be irresistibly drawn towards wolves, raptors, and parrots. They may say there's no such thing as Paradise or Perfection, yet I'm still searching for them. Why do I keep searching? A voice speaks to me and says: "Search for Paradise and aspire for Perfection"...

Hypertrophy in Progress
I guess I did make a bit of progress in hypertrophy even if I now have a Killer Parakeet-worthy gut now. For those of you unfamiliar with Killer Parakeet, suffice to say that he's a nearly 150 kg, just shy of 2 meter tall mutant parakeet with a love for bugs (especially cockroaches), beer, beans, and bacon and a protective instinct to all of his "buddy-o-pals". My chest and upper back aren't looking too good yet but I've also gotten somewhat side-tracked into doing physical therapy for my ankle as well as getting a bit of a push in stability and endurance training, which isn't necessarily the best for good hypertrophy. This, by the way, was without any good pump either. Otherwise I do see some really nice vascularity after a good bi's and tri's day at the gym. I'm not a body-builder but I do incorporate some hypertrophy training during my maximal strength and stability training phases, not so much in the power phase. That being said, I'd much, much, much rather look like the Hulk than a Disney princess or a fashion model... then again, if I had to choose between looking like Gollum and being inhumanly strong or looking like the Hulk and being a weakling, I'd rather take the strength even if I'd look frightful!
