Picture/Progress Thread

Might do a picture sooner than I was going to, shoulders are looking bigger and lats have came out quite a bit. Not at the moment though, got shaving rash on my fucking chest.

[Burden Durden]

Just done abs. Despite only doing back once every 2 weeks my lats are still peaking.

I have a question actually.

Do you shave your chest etc. n/h? Body hair's grotesque but when I shaved my chest the rash looked just as bad, if not worse.

[Burden Durden]

Yeah but luckily for me i dont get that much hair on my chest, just on the crevice area which i first cut down with beard trimmers then shave it using foam and a clean single blade razor in the shower. Can't lie first time couple times i done it i got shaving rash, that shit is peak and stays around for ages.

Did it before I went on holiday earlier this year.

Schoolboy error lol. My boy done that as well before holiday and by the time we got there the spots were getting yellow heads on them, needless to say he got a mad amount of stick.

I only shave my bollocks and i shaved my ass once but will not be doing that again!

I was saved from that. Think I'll stick to veet from now on.

you can shave your chest, if you do it right.

use a separate razor and do it in the shower so your pores open up, and shave across, going outwards from your middle to your lats/obliques. then you can go against the grain once you've done that.

when i used to just go against the grain straight away, i also got shaving rash but not that bad. since i did this i don't get it. try it see if it works.

The only issue I have with shaving in the shower is getting the hairs off the razor.

my bad thought you were getting shaving rashes lol. ignore that post.

[Tommy]

I am. I just meant in the shower, when the razor is getting blocked off hairs, running it under the shower head doesn't really work too well at getting them out.

I think he is but you said to shave in the shower, he said the only problem with shaving in the shower is gettin hair out of the razor. Get some hair clippers on it it's without a guard to cut it short as possible then just go over the remaining with a razor, shouldn't get big clumps of hair stuck in it then lol.

Good progress @Burden Durden , similar build to what I wanna be at. Did you start off bulking and then cut or did you just build lean muscle from the start?

[NSF]

Yeah I did it years ago, does work if you eat what it tells you.

[Mr. Jefferies]

ohhh... my sink is right next to the shower so i just run the tap and keep shaking the razor in it. no probs.

[Tommy]

Ah right...I don't really have that. What I might do is just fill a pot with water and put it on the ledge at the side of the shower and shake it into that.

When i first started gyming it properly i done a 5 month bulk and then cut before summer, now its more about maintaining where im at and targeting certain areas where i wanna gain size. I don't wanna do anything too drastic though as it might effect what jobs i land and my agency wouldn't be happy. They've already had a go at me before for getting too big lol.
