Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

It certainly doesn't look like any other female glute area lets put it that way... I'm sure for a ladies bum it'll do but there is a lot of fat there that needs to come off and a lot more muscle to go on...

I'll happily remove that pic now...

Ok, and good luck with it taking the form you want it too Flick, have you got a date for the next comp yet?

If I could get teh weight off in time I'd happily stick with NABBA South East Toned Figure April 22nd... That being unlikely I'll do BNBF Southern Figure in August...

Everything aches!!! Gonna do chest tonight I think...

Just been having a read through the journal, some good progress there, great stuff

Many thanks Griff...

Pleased with my progress, am trying not to look in the mirror as I always want results quickly and need to realise it's a long process...

Good progress flick... keep at it

A little tip I picked up... if you're still hungry try drinking a pint of water, if you don't want to eat anything

Easier said than done, though I do try... Water tastes soooo gross. I usually have a cup of caffeine free tea with skimmed milk if hunger pangs strike. Try not to drink anything after 9pm, I have a tiny bladder which is still recovering after 2litres of water every gym session!

Ta for the tip though, drinking is definitely the way to go...

No worries Flick

As you say - easier said than done... I'm bulking till the end of March so it isn't something I'm doing at the moment TBH... will be when cutting starts though at the end of March

Good luck - I'll check in every once in a while to see how you're getting on...

And BTW IMO - there's nothing wrong with your bum

Where's your progress journal Mick_the_brick?

How can you say that???

Have you tried buying any of the zero carb dilute juices??

Don't have one... ATM...

Maybe I should start one??

p.s. call me Mick

zlaty -can you send me a link to have a look at these, never heard of them!!

Mick -everyone should have a journal, even if they don't write in it everyday... Keeps you motivated and chronicles your achievements... What are your current goals?

Since Oct'06 I've been bulking... gone from 13st to just over 15st at the minute planning to carry on bulking till the end of March... I keep a record of my training (in a little blue book) and James assists me with my diet.

I suppose thinking about it - I use the little blue book to record my acheivements... I've also used James to assist me with my cut... very happy with the results so far TBH... gone up two shirt sizes since Oct'06.

I think that everything's covered

I don't have a link as I love water, but if you ask in the general section, or have a browse in the history, Tiger asked the question before and numerous links were posted up

Okey doke, ta! You may have just made my day!

WEDNESDAY so far, will edit tomorrow or else I'll forget what I've done:
06.45 1 Thermobol capsule
15minute jog
07.00 tsp L-Carnitine
07.30 50g porridge oats, scoop whey protein, 200ml skimmed milk
10.30 100g lean mince, 100g chopped tomatoes, 30g, mushrooms, 1/2 onion, tsp marmite, 100g sweet potato

Just been catching up on your recent posts Flick, all is looking great and well done on the morning cardio. Making me think about getting back into that a little too.

Didn't see your arse picture, but your legs look excellent. I too would have thought you were a lower bf% judging by the pics I've seen. Defo give the calipers a try and see what results you get.
And for the record Zlaty I don't think those questions are off limits, unless a female member points out they'd rather not say. I think it's nice that we can discuss these things, and our goals, openly with you guys on here and get the support.

Flick how long have you been using thermobol, and what do you think so far? I have tried a few times but stopped after a few weeks cos I was too hyper and a little spaced. Not ideal for workdays! Let me know if you think you're getting much use from it.

I'll have a browse anyway, I made my day with my squatting last night

Thanks Lisa, I guess I think it's good that we can discuss things on here looking at the body as the object of your efforts, I just would hate to offend someone, male or female by making a wrong judgement and asking an off limits question

I personally prefer eca or clen for assistance with fat loss... more effective IMO
