Daz Ball's Journal

Was really good to meet you James, and Lodge (correct spelling??) Sorry about being so late, but we got their in the end. I have lodges photos also, so shall i send them to you, or does he want to PM me his email address (dont know if he writes on here) I had an 'interesting' chat with some of the guys down there, quite an eye opener even for me! Anyway, good to meet you and if I dont see you before, ill see you at Body Power. Simon.

hi everyone hope u all enjoyed the vid its great to work with the two james c and l it is giving me new ideas and the body will only improve we will have a bit of time after bodypowewr to add some more mass in the right areas.

like james said on the vid we are doing a heavy stage and is going really well some lifts this week i have done


deads 230kgs 5reps
incline press 200kgs 8reps
squats 200 kgs 12reps
ez curls 70kgs 10reps
1 arm extensions 40kgs 8reps 

i have really enjoyed this not gone heavy in ages but we are going to alot more so all watch out i will put some more size on and i will start lifting some big weights soon i will let u no how the lifts go up and i now have had my hair cut lads and look back to my handsome best again  

Your looking amazingly-sharp Daz mate it'll be interesting to see how much more you can come-in when your up there on stage at BP in a few weeks time.

200kg x 8 incline bench?

That is ridiculous. You must be good for a 250kg single on the free weight bench.

Its all there!

Just saw the posing clip of daz, its all there!

Whatever you do guys, dont go searching for more mass before the british. Its there, if daz can turn up with that mass but obviously slightly better condition (even though hes in wicked condition, but i mean totally sliced for the brits) with same mass and simmilar shape then chances are he will win the overall for the pro card.

Daz has a naturally wide waist but you guys have now got the balance right, anymore mass and itll tip it over the top again and the whole of last year (having a smaller and nicer shaped physique) will have been a total waste of time.

Keep things in the balance, nice shape, natural mass and not way over the top...and daz suely will be pro!

Looking brilliant. Very complete, much nicer shape and overall package compared with previous years.

The type of overall package that wins the british!!!

What exactly causes the large waist in the top level bodybuilders?
 

Just finished shoulders today session was standing press getting upto 100kgs for 8reps
rear press on smith with no back support to make my core work more got upto 90kgs for 8reps
wide row finished with 80kgs for 10
then side lats 3 sets of 20reps with 12 half kgs 45sec rest between sets feel really good and strong 30 mins cardio now see ya all soon

Yes, good sensible comments there Adam - James L and I agree completely

Looking good Daz!

I know this probably isnt the right place to ask but how much does it cost for a one off session at your gym? I live in Leicester but train in Loughborough and think I'm gunna need somewhere decent in Leicester to train once in a while whilst prepping for my show.

I should pop into the gym to ask really I know but the tinternet is so much easier! lol

Thanks

hi mate its £5 casual £12 weekly £25 monthly hope to see you at the gym

Today we have just finished back this was tdays session we started with deadlifts finishing on the 4 set with 240kgs for 5 reps.
Then into 3 sets of close grip pulldwns finishing with 120kgs for 10reps thats the stack need sme more weight.
On to seated m/c row 3 sets last set 160kgs for 8reps.
To finish we did rope pulldowns 3setd f 15 reps going up with each set.
after that 25mins on the bike then home for some rest.

What a great week the weights are starting to feel lighter everyday some lifts i have done this week bench press 210kgs 8 reps, deadlifts 240kgs for 5 reps, ez curls 80kgs 10reps, ez skull crushers 90kgs 10reps, squarts 220kgs 10 reps, standing press 120kgs 7 reps standing side lats 30 kgs 10 reps. As u can see most lifts have gone up and i feel really good cant wait to see after the bodypower show what i will be doing. As for my body seems i lot fuller looking with lot more roundness to the muscle really really happy with how its going.

daz since you started training how proportionatley have your main lifts gone up? have you always just been good at bench?

rough figures at bodyweight of around 90kg i can deadlift ~250x5 squat 250x5 but comparing those near lifts to yours my bench is around 140-150x5

I also understand your not trying to powerlift obviously but your bench amazes me compared to your other lifts.

some v strong lifts there daz..
will be good t see u at the bodypower fella..

all the best

Awesome videos, Daz looking really good already looking forward to seeing you when you compete and at BodyPower. Keep it up and I think BritBB's prediction could come true!

Question for Daz Ball,

Hey there daz
Before I start with my question I just want to say you look awesome and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming shows.
 
I was hoping you could clear a couple of things up for me. obviously theres a fine line between not working the muscles hard enough and over training them.
 
I personally do drop sets on my last set of every exercise just to make sure I burn and feel a good pump after each workout. Do you think training in this way can prolong my gains and im slightly over doing it? Whats your views on drop sets in general?
 
 

James Llewelin sounds a very knowledgable trainer. 

word on the street is your not competing at bodypower now Daz? Got some time to relax the diet if so you think or no?
