Daz Ball's Journal

Jesus, 300lbs! Must be very hard work to maintain that sort of weight and condition, or even improve on it as he seems to be doing.

Is it possible Daz will be stepping on stage at 265-270lbs? Either way he will be massive on stage!

How are the biceps coming on?

James


I have just been with daz this morning, we did a seminar at Ultra Bodie Gym in Finedon, Kettering.  Daz weighs a phenominal 21st 4.5lbs today!  And he's still in great condition

Hi Daz,
 
Iv been following your Journal buddy, certainly making for an interesting read. I wish you all the best over the next few months, and I for one will be at the show, to once and for all see my old training partner destroy the competition.  Nothing you don't deserve mate.
I will hopefully pop by in the next few weeks and have a catch up.
 
All the best to you and your family.
 
Dave

I dont worry so much like i used do to set times and things cardio is around 8 and 9 breakfast wud be latest 9.30 so i wud train 11.30 so wud be 2hrs. But 1hr for the meal to go down then take pre workout 30mins to get it then train is fine.

Update.

Daz came to see me today and trained back. This session we went more for form and not weight. Yes the weight was heavy but the rationale for the session was to really feel the muscles targeted, not just to move the weight. We concentrated the workout around lat width and detail, esp around the teres M and m, rhomboids, mid traps and also the lower insertions of the lats.

We also sat down and went through his diet.

His prep proper will start at 8 weeks out but his food will probably stay the same until around 4 weeks out. The only difference from 8 weeks to 4 weeks out will be output via cardio.

He is sitting comfortably now at 295 after going up to around 300lbs, which he did feel heavy at. He will stay at this weight and hold it for another 3 weeks which will be for a total of around 6 weeks total. This is the biggest and leanest Daz has ever been in the off season so I delighted that our approach has worked so well thus far.

Hi James

So what can we expect from Daz this year? He always as big as a house, and in super freaky condition. What is Daz hoping to bring different to the stage this time around?

should ask him directly really since I train at his gym but dont like to get in his way lol

saw some recent pictures of you, pretty much left me speechless - honestly, I cant wait to see you're final package at the brits.

The tattoo does not hide the skin, it reveals the nature of the man...

Daz - I remember a while back you (or James) mentioning trying new ways of training biceps to try and work on their peak.
Have you noticed any difference in their size or shape?
Were there any specific exercises/sets/reps/rest that produced these changes (if any?)

"They are quite possibly the most sorry bunch of socially challenged and boarderline mentally ill reprobates to have ever attracted such a like-minded following of keyboard warrior wannabes." Unknown

Yes, I will be especially interested in this as I am doing exactly the same!!!
