Legs. Again.
Why do i look like one of those bloody "chest and bis" nob-ends with arms 2" bigger than my calves when i havent done any direct arm work for more than 2 years, and i train legs 2, 3 or even 4 times a week??!!!?! and 80% of my training is compounds - deadlifts, squats, overhead press etc
Gah!!!!!

I think it's because you try to maintain such low body fat all the time. You may have to go on a bulk to get things started!Why do i look like one of those bloody "chest and bis" nob-ends with arms 2" bigger than my calves when i havent done any direct arm work for more than 2 years, and i train legs 2, 3 or even 4 times a week??!!!?! and 80% of my training is compounds - deadlifts, squats, overhead press etc

Been there, done that, got bigger, got fat, then lost fat and looked the same as when i started!Am actually going to have my test levels checked as my last proper bulk i put on 11lbs in 3-and-a-bit months, of which 10.5lbs was fat..... so basically a 95/5 bulking fat/muscle ratio.

What is your current protein intake and what was it when you bulked? Same for your calories?
Protien is 1g/pound lean mass so 150g, was bulking on about 3500 cals which is about 1000 over calculated tdee, I adjusted it up a couple of times as I wasnt gaining weight on 3000I seem to be able to grow the top half of me just by passing within half a mile if the gym, but my legs dont play nice
Beginning of a cold (including nosebleeds), slight tweek of hamstring (moving a couch) and dehydrated. So decided that was enough reason not to do the planned deadlifts today. But not too bad a session nonetheless.
Bench: 6 x 140kg, 4 x 150kg, 9 x 130kg, 19 x 100kg
Bent over rows: 15 x 140kg, 8 x 160kg
Dumbbells shoulder press: 7 x 42.5kg, 10 x 37.5kg
Pull-ups: 10 x bodyweight
Kettlebell swings: 75 seconds x 48kg (seriously unpleasant in the heat)
Not a bad session but must have lost a kilo in sweat!
