Yeah I admit last couple weeks I've been on a bit of a rampage with the chocolate lol. I decided this morning to clean up my act (actually, I decided that a week ago err..). I thought it was better to get the calories in even if it was chocolate or pizza or something... some reason though pizza...

I wrote that wrong woops, I did 95kg for deadlifts not 80kg. If you think about it, I'm gaining weight so... I have to lift that extra body weight too (squats). Though, I don't have any extra weight for today so I might have to stay at 95kg for this week and do more reps instead. I've been...

barbell press: 55kg x 12, 10, 6, 8.5 -- I pushed hard too... why did my strength go down? I'm not entirely sure the cause, maybe its normal for this to happen sometimes. deadlifts: 80kg x 12, 8, 8, 8 -- I pushed hard also, but I felt I could have gone a couple more on the first set if I pushed...

Very impressive, but what is HST? You look natural, very symmetrical... if you want to proceed further definately just try to get your muscles to grow more... but thats only if you want to look larger. Overall well done!

Well crap... I hurt my wrist/forearm while doing barbell bench press. I managed to lift really well though with 50kg this time... I think it was 15 reps the first set once again :D ...but today I have my back, biceps and forearms workout... I think all the exercises will use my forearms and I'm...

The training concept may apply but, if I did the same workout as someone using drugs, I would probably be overtraining. I need to train like a natty would to get optimal results, same applies for diet. 75kg for ME is a lot, you'd believe me if you felt the energy get sapped out of me every...

is he natty? I get the impression if you have extra testostorone and stuff due to chemical assistance, you're needing to do additional reps and more frequent workouts even. squats to the ground... thats intense... I better work on not doing any more cheat reps with my squats, even if they do...

I think the total weight moved is a good indicator of progress... if I increase the weight but do many less reps, how am I to know I have made any progress. By increasing that total number, I know overall I am improving - in terms of intensity. The intensity would also increase if I have shorter...

@c24k Well thanks for detailing it for me. I just don't want to start something new, when I haven't completely got my current routine working for me just yet. It's best not to touch my routine at all, until I am certain I know it works. After all, once I complete my first bulking phase...

c24k, while I appreciate that, it seems a bit random?? I've never heard of that before... is there good reason to attach that to my current workouts? ...man the only thing I can see looks slightly better, in comparison with my before/after shots (just above), is that my back looks more...

Well, here's a photo of my back in April 7 2008 -- when I was (I think) 88kg... http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1331/p1010013i.jpg now compare it to my current self: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6904/p1010004gbz.jpg maybe you can tell if there is a difference... because they SHOULD...

Chest workout coming up today... I'll report back (if I get the chance)

yeah It'd be nice to have a workout buddy... might be possible soon... I'm trying to get into a fitness course, then in a year I can do personal training. I need to find out about Core strengthening... but if I can't develop my own frame I'm going to be the worlds worse PT lol... hehe I know...

thanks. one of the few good experiences so far. I'm always happy when I accomplish moving more weight because its the only thing I have to actually tell me that, I should be gaining muscle as a result.

Sorry I took so long to get back... lately I've been really concerned with my gains. Visually, there's still no difference, other than fat gain. To be honest, I haven't made an attempt at low calorie days like I should... I find it hard enough getting to 3000 calories even when including some...
