thanks so much for posting your workout on your bodyspace - I see you use DB's for chest over barbells. I'm trying to do the same thing as I hear it helps build up mass more. How long are your workouts typically? keep up the good work bro - its inspiring!
TGIF, Tanner, damn you look SWOLE, ripped to the bone and what an awesome "V" buddy. keep bringin it. outstanding physique, man. enjoy the blessings of peace, Rich
Hey Tanner, nice job adding size. It is time you wrote some articles for the site here and let everyone in on your workouts. Anyone else think that would be a good idea?
You've got some very high quality muscle, which you see very rarely! Amazing progress in three years! And your arms are Lee Priest-esque! What do you think helped you the most getting such a physique?
