I'm trying to find a picture... at this point I didn't even have a faint outline of my abs.

Unfortunately, I was at like 196lbs just a week ago, but food poisoning hit me. I don't look much more cut in the last pic because I probably lost a few pounds of muscle. I mean... I was planning to lose those 6 pounds over a period of 6 weeks, and instead, I lost it in just 9 days. Had I lost it over a period of 6 weeks, I would look more muscular in that final pic.
But not to worry: I'm planning on going back up to 196lbs and then cutting down again to 190lbs to do it right :)
I'll put up pics of that too when it happens.

have you figured out anything to do about the pec imbalance? more shoulder p/rehab + unilateral work?

Well here's a few things...
- My left tricep is far more flexible than my right.
- My left shoulder is far more flexible than my right (I can reach up my back with my thumb about 4 inches higher with my left hand)
Then:
- My right tricep is much stronger than my left. It's also tighter. I guess it's a bit overractive and doesn't let the right pec do the work in the BB and DB bench.
- My left pec is bigger than my right. I think this pec is the normal size. My left tricep isn't tight (neither are my pecs though) so I'm assuming this is the side that's in balance.
Corrections?:
- I want to videotape my bench form and see if it's symmetrical. My body is probably leaning to one side by itself.
- Before benching, I static stretch my right tricep to make it a bit weaker and force my right pec to do more work.
- Maybe, I'll do unilateral DB benches: On the right side, I'll go all the way down and only 3/4 of the way up. That way my weaker pec does more work, and my stronger tricep does less. On the left side, I'll go all the way up, but 3/4 of the way down. That way my stronger pec does less work and my weaker tricep does more.
The DB benches are done after BB benching as assistance work.

I'll check my journal and answer back.

Feb 25th - 203lbs
Mar 16th - 197lbs
Hmm... I lost weight pretty quickly there actually... part of it was water weight though. I remember I got inconsistent with my creatine, and this was when I was a bit depleted of creatine.
