    Suggestions needed for an abbreviated 3 week cycle

    Exactly! I was going to suggest that but felt lazy to write it up! It is better seeing that you are doing reduced volume! Option II is better IMO.

    One arm bigger than the other

    I believe this can be corrected over time by using d/bells, other opinions I have heard was using your under grown hand or arm to do everything you normally do with your normal hand, brush teeth/open taps, pick up things etc. On theother hand IMO, there is no one truly symmetrical, everyone...

    Bigger bi's...

    Chris Excellent physique so far! I agree that only thing that really needs work is the lat width. I am also with you changing to close grip chins, palms facing you, reason is you can load more with hat variation, your shoulders don't have to come into it as much and the lat muscle gets hit all...

    Cris The mags ain't always right, most of the time they talk a lot of bull :D The secret is nutrition and persistance, and yeah some trickery. I'd stick to incline dumbell curls (15 - 30 degree range) rather low, and then divide your rep in half and perform the first half up for the rep...
