Hi Rack,

Sorry I have not been in often of late.

Your training looks to yeild some magic, the gains look great and your recent picture as per my facebook comment, shows quality mass on display!

It seems to me you are on the right path and that it will take you all the way to your first comp aslong as you fend off the mind games/selftalk.

I believe next year will be your best yet.

@Jedi, If something like that happened on this course I'd get shot lol

@Valhalla, I'm pretty sure there should be a decent frame under all the mass.  I'm far bigger now than I was last time this weight was reached.  There's a lot to be carved away though so the next 7 and a bit weeks an't come fast enough.  It's strange as I'm now very very curious to see just what does lay beneath all the extra padding.  Also what weight I'll be just before the prep starts is anyone's guess.

now then mate, hows it going?  whats the weight now?

Things are going ok cheers buddy.  Need to get cardio going again though (see below)  Weight on monday morning was 17st 6lb but there was a lot of water and bloat from the bday weekender.  Got 7 and a bit weeks until prep starts now so god only knows what weight I'll end up at, I'm not even eating that much LOL!

Another night of broken sleep and silly dreams. I kept waking up wet through with sweat. It was like I was on DNP......
Gotta pick my cardio back up too, have let it slack the last week and a bit so need to get right back on it.

Chest and bi's later although due to it turning cold my elbow has a little ache/cramp in it, shouldn't affect performance though.

Also been doing a little posing practice as of late, and not the kind I usualy do on a night out. My left shoulder always sits slightly higher than my right (from years of carrying a ruck sack on one shoulder thinking I was cool), so really looking to keep them flat. After only a few mins of keeping everything tight and trying to fid how best to stand I was starting to feel drained, hats off to those who have done it as I never realised just how much effort it takes. I'm glad I've started touching on it now as the more practice I get the better I'll be!
Been trying to pick out posing music for my show, got 3 in mind at the min;
Prodigy - Omen
Prodigy - Warriors Dance
Sub Focus - Rock It

The last one is a little out there but it starts off pretty slow and I think could work well. With all the tunes they have really solid beats and I keep going through where to hit poses and how the transition them. Not the safest way to drive though lol.

Hey RACK,

I must say I love your song choices, The Prodigy have been a firm fave of mine since I was a snot nosed little wanderer listening to Experience and Music for the Jilted..  I would advise checking out the Invaders must Die Remixes + Bonus Trax CD. It contains some cracking Remixes of the tunes you listed! A must for any Prodigy fan!

Those highlight beats on the subfocus would work well if you time the poses to match.

Thanks mate, I'll check them out later at home.  The omen is still a firm fave at the min as the beat in it comes in 3's (if that makes sense...) so I can hit poses in stages, showing every bit of the transition.
Also with warriors dance, it has kind of sub-beats then the big "BOOM" where a pose would be hit.

@Jedi, my thoughts exactly mate.  I was thinking of using the slow section of the tune to walk onto and start then putting in a rewind/spin back effect or possibly a transformers noise before going into the fast part of it.

hmmmm thought of pendulum's remix of voodoo people?

That was another one I'd thought of.  Also Pendulum's Propane Nightmares or possibly Slam.

Not sure if Pendulum do a remix of "Smack my b1tch up" too.  It's good whoever does it as there's a part with no beat what so ever just to woman doing vocals then it builds up and goes mad.

Chest and Bi's
Pec deck 85kgx8,8,8
Smith Incline press 70kg x 10, 80kg x 8, 90kg x 6, 40kg x failure
Flat DB press 27.5kg 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 - 30kg

Well pleased with the session, got a lot of comments about looking "massive" in the gym too, this pleased me!!! Elbows were aching on the dips but not bad enough to give in after the first set.
Feeling a little drained now but got an easy afternoon at work. As soon as I get home I'll be walking the beast know as Murphy, I'm sure he's been in my "special draw" as he's filling out more than me!

That sounds wicked, is it on youtube??

Glad to hear you're more positive now pal, you have added some great mass, keep at it and you'll be a monster in 7 weeks.

What about Rob D - Clubbed To Death?? Or would that be too slow?

big weight there mate, id love to hit that kind of of season weight, wonder how quick you would balloon if you ate the same diet as me!

me and you are total opposites in terms of gaining and losing weight!  if i had a heavy weekend (which i dont anymore, i vary rarely even drink) i would probably be 6-7lbs lighter not heavier! 

Mate what BF% you at now?

You have some good weight buddy just remain focused as everyone has said and it will all come good.

@ Tuffy, I think it was on one of the minsitry mash-up albums, either 2007 or 2008, it's one of the last tracks on disc 1.
I'll have a listen to clubbed to death when I get home.
 
@ Dazc, I can put weight on stupidly fast, still not sure if it's a blessing or a curse????  I prob had an intake of 4000kCals when I first got back from holiday and put 8lb on in about 10days.  It's as soon as I have carbs, I've got proper moonface at the min.  God only knows how much I'd swell if I was eating the same as you lol

@ Taz,  I had my bf% checked for my works medical the other week and it said about 17%, I know for sure this is BS.  I'm prob mid 20's or there abouts.
The focus is getting easier now as I'm counting down each day to prep starting.
 
I'm going to be mailing Paul soon to see what things I'll be needing for the prep so I can get everything in order to hit the ground running.

@Tuffy, search for "smack my bitch up" sub-focus remix.
