Hi Hazel no problem thanks for askin me.
 
I got into training about 2 1/2 years ago, the usual skinny teenager looking to get a little bigger but i had no intrest in bodybuilding. I friend of mine who was a succesful natural bodybuilder saw how i was growing and put a programme together for me and measured my progress, eventually i outgrew him and the gym so the rest is history.
 
In terms of competing it is defo something im wanting to do, originally i was looking at jan next year but certain things in my personal life are causing me to put the date back slightly to summer. A friend of mine again who used to compete is going to be doing my prep for me as i dont have a clue how to get ready for a show.
 
For my dayjob i work in sales for an insurance company, its one of the only halal based insurance companies that cater for the muslim cumminity. I enjoy it as much as i can, but at the end of the day its work and it pays the bills lol.
 
My favourite film would be American gangster and i like all sorts of music, in particular lionel richie and michael jackson. Not your typical 20year old answers!

Who do you think would win in a fight between a human and a dog

hahahaha good lad. Lets not get into that again lol

dont really have anything to ask you mate, other than to say that i really hope you do a show next year, as you will cause a huge stir on the natural scene!

off topic, how is an insurance company 'halal' ?

lionel ritchie? you old get! haha

good question mate, im only 5 weeks into the job so im not 100% myself haha.
 
Its to do with the muslim faith, they dont agree with gambling etc and dont agree that you should make any money from insurance. So in a nutshell rather than a standard insurance company taking your premium and investing it all over the place, we take the premium and put it in a 'takaful pot' which is basically where all the customers premiums go and at the end of the year this is distributed back to the customers.

Hi,
 
 
whats you height and weight?
 
 
whats you fav exercise?
 
 
and what was you weight when you started training?
 
 
cheers

cheers

Im 5ft 10 and currently 17st 10.
 
Its hard to pick a fav exercise, it would have to be something for chest as i like training it, maybe incline press.
 
When i started training i was the same height i am now and 10 1/2 stone ish iirc.

 cheers. I never said im massive, but i am natural lol. Im very very tempted to try aas, but with me wanting to compete i want to do it naturally for a while. See what happens. But the temptation is hard.

17 stone 10 at 5ft 10 and you're pretty ripped in your avi, are you about that bodyfat % now??? and all that at 20 is impressive. Yeah do what ever route you want, the thing with bodybuilding is that you can compete to a much later age than other sports, you've pretty much got an extra 10 years. Well compared to football, rugby, athletics and tennis etc

So how good are your big 3 lifts then?

My bf is a little higher now, i was around 17st in my avi, and although i will have added some muscle in that 6 months, some is fat. The thing with aas is once you've made the first jab, your no longer a natural, which is what is putting me off bigtime as i want to compete natural.
 
My big 3 are nothin special, I bench 120kilos for 6 reps, squat 150kilos for 8-10reps, Dont do deadlifts in my routine but last time i did them i did similar squat for a few reps. Im a bodybuilder not a powerlifter so poundage doesnt bother me, asthetics do.

Without a doubt dancing on the ceiling

To develop the physique in your avi in 30 months naturally from 10 stone is almost an unbelievable achievement mate. I am sure you will have doubters about your natural status which you should of course take as a big compliment.
 
What is your typical daily diet like?
 
Have you used any natural product that seems to make a difference for you?
 
What is your cardio regimen like?
 
I fought a dobermann 25 years ago and kicked its arse; what do you reckon to that

Cheers for the compliments. Ive come to realise in life you will always have doubters but i know that i'm 100% natural so thats all that matters.
 
I have no set daily diet but to give you an idea of what i eat this is todays food:
8.30am - Bowl of oatmeal, 2 eggs
10.30am - tin of rice pudding, protein shake
1pm - large rump steak with large potato salad
3pm - 100g of peanuts
5pm - Bowl of oatmeal
7pm - 2 large salmon fillets, 1 large baked potato and french dressing
9.30pm - large rump steak with small bowl of oatmeal
11.30pm (now) - 2 chicken breast, 2 slices wholemeal toast and tomato sauce
 
Cardio wise i walk my dog for 1 hour a day. Although not hard cardio i break a sweat and it gets my heart rate up.
 
Regarding the doberman rather you than me lol.

To give you guys an idea of the condition difference at the mo, heres a pic from last nite of me in a mankini lol not as cut as my avi
