Did legs on saturday and was the same as last week's session although was around 930am, found it pretty tough doing weights at that time of the morning.
Quads/Hams and calf’s:
Leg extensions - Pg14x15,15,15,15
Hack Squat - Pg14x8,8,8,8
Leg press - 195kg PScarb styleeeeee!

Lying leg curl – Pg10x8,8,8,8
Stiff leg deads - with DB – 32.5kgx8,8,8,8

Seated calf raise - 120kgx20,20,20,20,20

Yesterday went to watch IB at the finals and the standard of the class was very high, top marks to him for getting 6th place. Seeing the standards on stage has made me realise that I can not afford even 1 slip up next year during prep!!

You heavy old unit

If you pulled me up back end of August and asked me to lay a bet on what weight I would be hovering around come December. I would have answered "Well 16 stone + of course".  I would have lost my self bet as I was 14 stone 11 when I stepped on the scales Saturday morning...

I would look like a flag pole near you Mr Rack.

TBH mate, I was planning on being the same weight as you said above, I went on holiday at about 14st 10lb and didn't really want to get bigger, 2 stone later and here I am lol

I'm all chest and stomache at the min mate, I look wider when I turn to the side than when I'm facin you haha.

I reckon I'll see the + side of 17st before prep starts

What weight are intending to end up at mate? If you have a goal weight that is, or are you aiming for the look more than the weight?

Really haven't got a clue mate.  I'm more interested in how I look when dieted down.  Doubt I'll be anymore than 13st though.  I'm not too struck on being as big/holding as much fat as I am at the min, but it's a means to an ends for now so we'll see what happens.
 
Chest and Bi's
Pec deck 80kgx10,10,10
Smith Incline press 60kg x10, 70kg x 10, 80kg x 8, 40kg x failure
Flat DB press 25kg x 10,10,10,10
Dips - BW x 6,5,5

Seated incline DB curl 17.5kg x 10,9,8
Standing EZ curl - 40kgx8,8,8
30's on cable - 25kg

Enjoyed this session sooooo much. I think dropping the weight down on the pec deck has done me the world of good. I'm still able to pre-exhaust the chest but not so much as that it effects my benching (and dummy spitting!). The flat DB's were a tad light but I kept the for slow and perfect and good pumps were had. Dips were pathetic but I seriously has nothing left.
Bi's are well and truely gone too, just got a numb feeling (is that a contradiction???) in them so again happy.

Have bloated up from yesterday but that's no doubt due to the pizza, should have gone be wednesday.

Another night of broken/no sleep. This is affecting my moods big time. Everything seems to have got on top of me, the way I look, the training, the eating, the lack of sex drive, even my gf's support is winding me up, how stupid is that!!! Got to get things together quick and man the fook up. Hopefully the weekend break will do me good, then monday sees PCT begin (please don't ask any questions on this though as I'm keep AAS posts to the very minimum).
I'm finding it strange at the min having a temper this vial as usualy I just have the odd snap and I'm fine, this seems to have been here about 10 days now

Good luck with it Rack you'll get through it, I think IB said when I asked him about his bulk that he just tried to visualies the end result. That's what counts!

Keep your chin up fella! Think of the end result mate!

Cheers guys, it's the moods that make me madder as silly as that sounds.  I'm not usually a down kinda guy just last few weeks have been tough.  All the hard work I had to put in to stop being a fatty and now I've got to become a fatty again, oh the mad world of bodybuilding LOL!

Must be a complete head f8ck mate. That is why I don't think I could ever get into "proper" bulking for a competition or anything.
 
You are lucky your missus is so understanding mate :)

I'll admit, this is the toughest thing for me mentallity wise for a long time.  I'm busting out of my jeans the clothes I looked great in don't fit and I just don't feel right.  Strange thing is, I get more attention when I'm out now than I did on holiday????????

As for the GF, she's perfect and loves the bb lifestyle, she's started training herself and is as obsessed as me.  She's been to 2 show's with me and does nothing but whoop!  She supports me massively, I just feel the worlds biggest cnut as I don't have many emotions at the min, if any at all.  Which must be heart breaking for her.  I explained to her yesterday that I've thought about calling it off a few times as I know how selfish I'm going to have to be next year, her reply was "Don't you go dumping me, I'm well happy!"  Hence me feeling like a cnut.

Yeah my missus has just got me some bigger boxers its a mare. Only 5 weeks to go for me and I'm gona cut. I'll have been bulking for 6 months and I've sorta had enough, even my biggest combats are to tight now, so you ain't alone mate.
We'll join fat fighters and eat dust! lol

Your missus sounds a cracker, at least your being honest with so I'm sure it'll all work out cool.

as selfish as show prep can be, i can promise you mate, that having the love of a good woman will make it 1000 times easier.
 
me and my lass split for a couple of weeks during my prep, if we hadnt sorted things out, then i wouldnt have got where i did, looked as good, or in truth made it to the stage.
 
even just the little things, like shaving, skin prep, tanning etc etc, are an event in themselfs.  Much easier when its your GF doing it, and it becomes an event together.  when your at the show, as much as having the support of your mates etc is 100% needed, having your girl there is something else.  Go to shows and see how lost the people who are single look!
 
you absoloutely do not want to be dating, meeting new people etc etc when your dieting for a show and doing prep. You dont need the head fcuk of it not going well, the mess up in diet and routine of someone that wont understand etc etc.  so unless you plan on spending the next year single and celibate?  i know what your like, so cant see that happening! But can also see in your journal and on FB how you struggle with the image of what you look like, this will get worse before it gets better during prep.
 
Guys that have been with their GF's for a long time, can struggle to get their support, yet you have one that wants to be involved!
 
not saying you should stay with someone if its not working, BUT need to consider everything, now and in the near future when making decisions.....

no shows this year :-(

Hello mate stick in there you know it will be worth it. 

Have you spoken to paul about how you feel, i have found as i was getting fatter the thing that kept me going was the fact my prep was starting soon. 

Would you be able to start you prep sooner if that helps you, so you say do a 19 week prep and you just have to get through 5 and a bit weeks until after christmas.
