I've almost joined the 19" gun club!

Crap pics I'm afraid





Not quite there - but considering I don't do that much arm work (once a week) - I'm pretty happy!

Show off

Impressive though... don't think mine are much more than 15"

Yes, well erm I'm feeling happy about myself at the moment


Benched 160kg and only just failed on 170kg too. So I'm getting there!

Im disliking you more and more each day. Big strong bastard

That's a shame as I just looooove you!

Bastard - 160 bench - That's just not on

You are one big natural mofo!

AGVT I breaking me hard though!! If I ever got the guts to do naughty things I fear I'd respond really well and keep doing it! I'm addicted to the gym as it is! Since I've had Scott's help it's helped me refocus and re evaluate my diet and training so i owe a lot of my re invogration to him. I want to break 600 then I shall be a happy chap. Not sure what my next target will be though! Besides I'm not natural im taking creatine!! Lol!

Thanks Si means a lot coming from you.

Impressive stuff.

You could either look to get bigger and stronger or really lean out and go for asthetics over function. Those seems to be the obvious routes.

not that bothered about being super lean I.e. I'm happy at the level I'm at in that respect. Strength and size is more important but stayig as lean as I am is equally important.

As you know, I think you've got the sort of body men should aspire too although you need to trim the old chest hair

What Simon said.

You look very impressive and your lifts match your appearance, even with those sissyass half-squats.

You need to trim the rug a bit though.

Aesthetics over function? I'd say lean out and go for function. Single leg stuff, explosive/dynamic stuff, conditioning etc. When you go back to strength and mass you'll reap the benefits.

Btw, you'za beast

'not that bothered about being super lean I.e. I'm happy at the level I'm at in that respect. Strength and size is more important but stayig as lean as I am is equally important.'

-sorry, missed that. Ignore me.

Power work and conditioning could still benefit you though...

Up to 590 on the big 3, 19" guns and all natural... i vote we ban the sod!

I'm going to jab him, then at least he won't be natty anymore

Seconded.

Craig, when you say "jab" him, what exactly do you mean?

Wow so much feedback! Thank you so much guys.

Karlos give me some more examples of that still interesting. I cycle my big volume work with conditionig work so I don't dismiss other forms of training at all.

Rilla I'll do a deep 200kg squat let me build up the depth that was the first time I did it!! But thanks.

another reason why I'm not that bothered about aesthetics is the hair sure I could keep trimming it or get it lasered and or shaved creamed or whatever but the fact is it's too much hassle for me. Sure come summer before beach time I give the chest rug a bit of a trim but it's really a pain to keep doing it! Lol!

I'm FINALLY starting to get to where I want to be. 100 or so kg with some reasonably big lifts and general overall strength not just for 1RM stuff. I want more and I know I have to start to accept that I'm going to slow down but I'm willing to put the effort in. I've completely turned around my training and nutrition and putting more effort into it. And it's starting to pay off. For ONCE I'm actually happy with how I am.

Hehe not sure about jabbing yet my friend I still have a way to go before any of that and my ignorance probably doesn't help my feelings on it. Plus I don't think I ever could do it myself scares the shit out of me if I'm honest. Though imagine my results?!!!

You guys have been amazing at supporting me an offering help and advice. I just wish I could train more and train with some of you for more inspiration!

Will

Just wait until you get some anabolic clothing on!

Looking good ! Must have taken ages to wax that arm

But why is Simon using your picture as his avatar ?

LOL!

I just have a hairy chest, the rest of me is relatively "normal" :p

With all the gushing going on in the post me thinks the sod has been jabbing on the quiet and is now on PCT.

Keep working on your flexibility for the squats and listen to Karlos' unilateral leg ideas (that sounds so perverted)

Good to hear your finally starting to be happy. That's been a long time overdue.

Thanks GB means a lot especially from you. Yup starting to feel like I'm on the upslope rather than the long downward one that was 2009.

You know I've always been an emotional girly man

Hip flexors are pretty decent, and I don't feel I suffer from too much inflexibility there, however, as you said keeping working on it is crucial, and Karlos' idea is great. I do feel a bit less flexible than I have been. I really need to put the effort in to do my stretches!
