I have a few questions for you.
1. I want to post measurements with my stats and pics but I'm not sure what's the best way to take measurements. When you take measurements do you typically take them before or after workout. Also do you take them relaxed or flexed? I don't normally take measurements, but I think it will show progress accurately through the cycle.
2. I'm not sure what's the best way to post progress pics, any suggestions?
3. One last thing... My shoulders and joints are a little rough. I think that's primarily holding me back with my presses. I know I could do more if it wasn't for my shoulders and joints. I'm going to warm up with an extra set starting monday and tues. Should I be taking something for my joints. I heard Deca helps with that, but I don't want to add anymore AS. Is there anything else that might help?
Oh ya...I checked my BP today and it's 138/89. (Slightly elevated but not too bad.) I was feeling huge pumps today, i thought I was going to burst at the seams. Even a few hours after working out. I like it, but I'm noticably losing flexibility, which I don't like. I was concerned that my BP was through the roof, but it's not. I'm going to keep an eye on it anyway.
Good day over all. Tomorrow is a rest day, damn!!! I can't wait for Monday!!!

as i mentioned before, you take measurments when flexed and not pumped, everyone looks bigger when they are pumped,id be incline to take measurements on rest days when your muscles aren't atrophied too much!!!
as for joints just ensure your using cod,liver oil and get some glucosamine to help with joints,tendons etc......
