Daz Ball's Journal

Hi Daz quick q for you mate

Inuries - Not full blown ones, but the little niggles people get, do you suffer from more than most due to the limit your body is working at? I know most people get iffy elbows/wrists/knees etc from training, just wondered if you get more than most?

Cheers,

S777

yeah am the same mate i wish i was superman and didnt but not that lucky when i 1st start lifting heavy it really hit home knees are the one.

Hey Bud

How you liking my Dave Henry DVD??!! Looks like it is inspiring you? DC is so intense, but maybe the rest periods will help you mind and body prepare for 2010

Just to let u all no had a little pec tear so had to have a rest a few days and now go back to my volume training again done a couple of days but nothing to shout about but soon as am fully back i will write up the session. Changed my diet as well will update tommz

Hi Daz mate, hope the tear was just a minor one. The high volume will aid recovery and the change will do you good for a while. Hope everything else is going well. Chat soon pal.

hi mate, that doesnt seem like alot of food at all for such a big guy!  be interesting to see how you get on with it, i eat more than that!

That is a lot Dazc - the portion sizes are big.  He is eating less volume than last year though as he's changed the macro ratios to more fat and less carbs.

honestly mate, im taking in as much protein, my meat portions are the same size or bigger, i have alot more carbs, though my fats arent quite as high, they arent far off!
 
and my weight is pretty much steady!  i would have expected a guy daz's size to be eating alot more than that!  was just suprised thats all, its obviously the right amount for him wasnt saying it wasnt!

This is what he was eating last year.  How does that compare?  Usual comments are 'that's a lot!'

closer to what i eat in terms of carbs!  though that diet is more volume than i could eat
the way the meals are spaced in the afternoon/evening makes it alot, but spread more evenly through the day, its not immense! the prebed meal is big in volume, and would take some eating, in fact i dont think i could, but overall, its not much different to what i have been eating!

Well that is a lot of food.  I just think that your perception of 'not alot' is skewed due to the fact that you eat so much.

James

maybe!  i just presumed that someone so much bigger than me, would have been eating twice as much!
 
 

well think i will say here its finding the right amount of food to do the job now with the food am eating at the min i cud do a show in 2weeks and be in great shape. the food last year still in good shape but weighed more we all no bb is about what u look like and not what u lift or how much you eat pal, thats have a look at your condition eating all that food and see if your holding lots of muscle or a lot of fat. Cus ok weighing 300lbs and then dieting to 220lbs you lose muscle i like to just take a little bit of weight off say 14lbs not going to lose so much muscle and not having to work so hard.

sorry mate, i think what i said was misunderstood!  I wasnt trying to say it was wrong in anyway.  It was honestly just suprise, i PRESUMED that you would be eating more than that, wrongly obviously!  Im not holding lots of either fat or muscle, sitting at 14 stone, about 6 weeks out from show condition based on this years cutting for leeds.

Hey Rich
 
Nice to have you on muscletalk, good to have someone with your experience and knowledge on the site.
Just to let you know everyone was saying how big you were looking too!!! lol
 
I think you and Daz should defo get together for a session as you would compliment each other, you lift the same kind of weight and your style of training is very similiar.
 
Anyway best of luck for 2010 whatever you plans are.

hi to everyone pec is feeling better had good week of training again with my bro been working the contraction with a 3 secs hold really getting a super pump. Weights going slower up will do over next few weeks but now going to stay with the volume i feel i get a much better pump and a little less weight and make sure i work the muscle not just my ego.

Seated dumbbell curls 4sets same as 10kgs 15kgs 15kgs 17.5kgs all12reps

Pec still sore so still taken time to build the weight up again they is many ways to train and all do work when am using lighter weights i work on the contraction and it does really get a deep burn. I will go back lifting heavy but on this type of workouts not on doggcrapp just think my body needs to be nice and warm and ready for the bigger weights and i will make sure am lifting the weight and working the muscles and not just thinking of moving the weight that was how i did my pec.
