All Natural - New Full Body Shots Last Page!!

hey man, i can tell already this is going to be one of my most frequently visited journals. looking ripped in the above pic, especially impressive pecs as well, really good shape and looking full.

know what you mean about the weed, ive been smoking pretty heavy this year, but now im tryin to keep it down to just weekends. its not fun doing every day anyway tbh...just a bad habit.

dont know about biceps but im stating to do them a lot more now as well. im going to be going for heavy barbell curls, light hammer curls with a twist at teh top (focussing on form) and cable curls. obviously heavy back trainin will work teh bi's also

keep up the good work, dont get lazy like me!

Looking good buddy.

Now get dat de mass.

Cheers Kaldog, wasn't aware you smoked mate, I can't do the weekend thing, tried it and when I was bored on a night... well just became a bad habit, didn't help when all ya mates, ya mum n ya elder bro smoke it aswell... Glad I've quit anyway... Cheers for the comments, I'm gonna start focusing on my tris abit more aswell, only really do skull crushes and/or cable push downs and dips but I definetly feel my arms lack size... Hopefully I won't be self conscious about lookin bloated now, which was the reason I tried to keep my meals small etc, I used to think I was gettin fat when really I was just bloated all the time...

Shane, I've only recently gone upto that weight, I feel cos of my height I guess that my arms are lacking, not so much from the side few, but straight forward they just look skinny! Is hammer curls the best way to develop the width? They look great when Im in the gym, but really poor later that night or the day after... Should I do Bi's a couple times a week?

I feel my arms look really small too. I measured them there and they are 15.5 inches flexed, I don't know if thats good or not. To get into things, I think it's important to train biceps for moral and lets face it, we all want to show off the arms to the ladies.

I feel as though triceps are more important myself.. I heard they are essentially a bigger muscle but can't show reference or anything so it may not be true.

I do weighted dips up to 20kg (only started doing them). But what I really want to do is weighted chin ups cause that is one very good way to get big arms. I don't have a weight belt and plan on gettin one to start these and put them into my routine.

I train my bi's x2 a week. Once on back day, after back. And get a proper session on friday. I also train tri's x2 times a week. I don't particularly like training biceps but I want nice biceps so I'ma train em anyway!

I love training bi's!! they get superpumped! I can only really manage weighted pull ups with a 10kg dumbell, bit awkward cos of my height, same with dips, it's like it's working my freakin hamstrings! Anyway, on with the day...

Chest & Tri's

Warm up, 10 reps DB Press @20kg
Flat Bench 5x5 70/75/80/85/85 only got 3 on the last set, also dropped down to 65 and did a few negative reps.
Incline 2x8 70kg
Incline DB 6 @ 30kg, 8 @ 25kg
Slight decline flies 8 @ 16kg, 2x10 @ 12kg
EZ Skull Crushes 8,6,6 @ 30kg
Single Arm Tri extensions @ 10kg 2x4
Upside down V tricep cable pushdown, not sure of weight, but did 6 heavy, then another 6 heavy, dropped the weight 1 pin up did another 6, then had a rest n did 8, dropped the pin up again and did another 8... my tris felt pumped

I left, as I've been told I do too much at the gym, too much volume, it felt borin and was the first time since training I've ever left when I didn't want too... Wish I had a spotter on each exercise so I could push my self to the max, but only had 1 for SK's and Flat bench on 80/85.

Did abit of hill runnin half an hour after with a girl i'm trainin, pretty knackered now.

Deads and heavy rack pulls tomorow, along with bent over rows and heavy shrugs. Want to do specific work to increase my C&J :)

Heres a pic from today, a kind polish guy volunteered to take a photo, alot of big polskis in the gym, about 40%! 1 of which spotted me on the skull crushes and I thought my head was gonna explode from the strain!!

Triceps are what fill the sleeves up, lads. They're twice the size of biceps.

Man you must be at about 6-7% BF.. Washboard abs

Yeah you need a spotter haha! nice one

You could do with a weighted vest. Or some chains. Or some body fat 

Chains would be ideal if I drove but I walk to the gym, 25 mins there, 30 back... I've asked a mate several times to get me a dipping belt (he offered to get me one for £15) cheapest I've seen... but he still hasnt gotten back to me... How much are weighted vests? They'd be ideal for jump squats and hill running aswell as pull ups and dips...

Good job going to town on those pancakes! haha.
it's insane that you can eat that sort of stuff and be so friggin lean, purely jealous.

Nice journal mate. Good lifts there, similar to mine but your in WAY better shape and leaner lol.

Know what u mean about the dreams on a ZMA tabs, i was a wizzard lthe other day :/

A weighted vest is only going to be good for around 10kg, so isn't a long term solution. Dipping belt is the way forward.

Gruffy


A weighted vest is only going to be good for around 10kg, so isn't a long term solution. Dipping belt is the way forward.

Yeah I'm getting myself a belt 2moro (ordering it from play.com and starting weighted pull ups).

I do weighted dips (20kg) with a vest.. it's one thats in the gym already (instructor brings it in, so not always there) but I want to go heavier and need one for pulls too

Evenin all,

Had a good gym session today, got a PB Rack pull of 170kg! Head nearly exploded but was happy with it :) My session went as follows

Overhand Pull Ups 2x5
Deadlifts 60/80/80 3x6
Rack Pulls 110/130/140/160/170 54321

Single arm dumbel curls, 12kg 10 reps to warm up
Ez Curls, 35kg, back was startin to go now, 8 reps and then 2x6 negatives with a spotter supersetted with 8 reps of cable curls, not sure what weight, #6/7.
Seated Hammer Curls 18 kg 2x8
Seated Rotation curls 16kg 2x8 1x6, arms were looking like a freakin map at this point.
Finished off with single arm bent over isolation curls with 12kg's 4x4, drop set to 8kg 4x4.

My arms were pumped.

Not long been back from Nandos, had fillet and not on the bone chicken, so been kinda good, despite having loads of sauce and chips, spicy rice was beaut, also had some coleslaw... And I stopped at mcd's on the way back for a wispa mcflurry which was more like a milkshake consistency!! I asked for an icecream!

Day off tomorow, gonna do Shoulders, Traps and abs but before that I need to find myself a job as I had a massive argument with my boss today and told her I was gonna look for another job, so I have 4 weeks to find one... This journal is turning out to be my life diary!

Nice journal mate.
 
I smoked a lot of cannabis a number of years ago, it even helped me train! When i gave it up, i found it so hard to sleep and started on the wine to help me. 1 year later i weighed 3 stone heavier, don't make the same mistake i did and look for alternatives.
 
Keep up the good work.
 

Ok, I don't know how it helped you train, that seems crazy but ok. I'm not into alcohol, I'll have a jagerbomb if i'm out of a jd n coke but I know my limit...

Will update later with food intake and gym workout.

I'd have a smoke and then get nervous and want to do something active, like play football, swim or train. About 5 years ago once a week i would have a small blunt, then run 5 miles to the local rec centre and swim 2 miles before running home again. Yes i am strange!  

Any way good for you for giving it up. It's been proven that cannabis isn't addictive, but the life style can be.

Precisely, I simply decided one day, it wasn't planned. I'd just had enough of it. I want to get my life on track.

Like I said, this has become abit of a diary for me, rather than a progress journal. I had another argument with my boss the other day, she said my attitude stinks because I start work on time and leave on time, the delusional bitch. Anyway, I handed in my notice and was told I had 4 weeks before I could leave. This quickly put a fist up my arse and made me look for a new job. I applied at a Pub/Restaurant place up the road from me, literally a 5 minute jog and got a call back whilst I was at the gym asking to arrange an interview. So wish me luck for friday, as I really need this. The position's as a chef so I do hope I get it. I also enquired with Training Room today and was told it's £3,000 for a 6 week course + £200 registration fee, so that's something to save up for. Anyway, on with the journal.
