Hello Daz,

How do you keep your legs looking so full & shapely even with all the cardio? I realise yours are just simply huge but did you have any issues in the begining? My legs look good after training but because of all the cardio I'm doing they look flat in no time. Any tips?

Thanks & good luck this year

Monday 13th july
 Today we trained delts in the morning and biceps in the evening aswell i started my little reduction to my food. Dropped a little bit of carbs down to 514g a day now took out 2 s/wheat a day and put cardio to 30mins 5 days a week i will stay with this till james says, just wanted to make a start cus got photos and guest spots coming up and like to look and feel good to anyway todays session. We began with 7x12 side laterals with 30 secs rest between each set, we then moved on 2 4x12 standing dumbell press increasing the weight each set,  4x12 incline rear raises increasing the weight each time, next we did single rear pulls 4x15 again increasing the weight each time, the next excerise was single alternate side raises again increasing the weight each time, and to finally finish with 4 sets of 12 front press

Cus am just starting it again it will be in the morning due to having 7 hours without food and 9 to 10 hours without carbs it seems to fall off when i do that but its good to do after training if they is a bit more fat to come off. After training cus again used the carbs to fuel the training then be onto fat burning when you start the cardio.

Thats a lot of reps and sets.  Is that why you do biceps in the afternoon - what is your current split for training body parts?

Hi Daz

I notice you're splitting workouts in the day.  You did this earlier in the year.  What's prompted you to go back to this again now?
