Pros and cons are individual. So just try it and see for yourself if you like it and progress on it based on your physique and your goals

If you can’t lock yourself into the seat by holding yourself down, or utilizing a seat belt, or having someone assist you, then just switch to free weight dips

Hey Ameer, If you feel as if you still have more fat to lose then just continue doing so! Maybe consider lowering your fats but be sure to keep essential fats in like your omega 3’s

Exactly what Haider said. And I am the same way myself with my entire left side.

Do you get any massage work done?

I see a large variance in how people tolerate yohimbine. I don’t think it is a must, I’ve done preps with and without it and get equally as peeled. Clen will be far more effective if you need an aid.

I don’t have any answers for this, I apologize. But I am genuinely interested to hear what everyone else has to say on it!
I believe Kuba is well versed on the subject.

As everyone else said here, all the info you need to answer this question you can find on Jordan’s YouTube!
And of course take into account what you actually enjoy also, as in don’t just follow something you feel like you “ have” to. Enjoyment matters too!

I cannot see the pics. So those will be helpful!
But until then, I’d say your food is rather low so if you were to do that short of a recomp phase it would be a rather hard push. So you have to weigh your options on what’s worth more, just continuing to progress in a muscle gaining phase without trying to take body fat any higher, or sacrifice some time in a hard deficit.

How far away would your actual prep be?

It’s highly individual. If you don’t have a timeline in terms of competition etc then just keep gaining for as long as it is progressive. If you go at it in a good rate you shouldn’t need a mini cut.

And yes I recommend maintaining for a bit prior to pushing into a deficit

I can’t see your photos. But in regards to your question, has your back been progressing physique wise? Soreness isn’t an indicator for progress. For example my back is my best body part and it never gets sore when I train it, however my legs are my most lagging body part and they get insanely sore every time trained.
All that to say, all that matters is how you’re progressing in the gym and on your physique

I like rest pause sets for close grip smith press, dips, and preacher curls
The main thing for arms is nailing execution and muscle connection
