You're looking thick as a brick mate and the effort you've been putting into your training really shows.
In response to your other comment about conditioning (and this is just personal opinion) I don't really like it when an amateur or intermediate physique gets too striated and vascular. Guys need to be close to pro and carrying a ton of LBM to pull off showing that level of dryness without looking stringy and weak.

Here's an example of a physique I don't like (but that doesn't mean I don't respect the guy for the achievement). He must've really suffered to get into that sort of condition and I doubt that he felt very good at that b/f%.

Nice work mate, do you do every exercise in the exact order as wrote out mate or is that just your training log and you aim for that order but sometimes have to jump on other things while you wait?

It used to be exercise for less it was empty then too lol but such a great gym I love it good people manager former bb was huge and was sponsored good guy one pushing me to compete also.
