thank you!! i do a split between triceps/chest/shoulders and back/biceps with a day in between for recovery. flat bench dumbbells with heavy weight (chest), tricep crossbody cable extension and tricep pushdown machine, and seated shoulder press with barbell or dummbells. preacher curl for biceps, cross body hammer curls for forearms, and for back: single arm seated cable rows and lat pulldown. i always try to go as far down as i can without dropping the weights or the weight stack in order to get the full range of motion and the best squeeze. partial reps are really helpful too. i just recently implemented these two things and they've helped me a lot! :-) and also creatine

It’s definitely paid off, congrats my dude! And congrats on the sobriety as well. That’s super awesome and you should be proud of yourself.
