Hey mister, so arm's out of pot now? Good stuff!

Things looking really positive in here, as ChrissieG said, good to hear :-)

Have fun with the high fats, I'll be interested to know if you end up craving carbs...

Yeah arm out of pot, you not seen the photos a couple pages back of my spazy little arm??
 
still have a good few hundred grams of carbs per day.  when im really craving is junk food, especially cream cakes, cheese cake, chocolate, icecream etc etc! so much harder dieting when there is no show at the end of it!

Had to laugh - your bicep after the tear is about as good as my biceps without any tear LOL - looking good Daz with all things considered.  Decent mass on the legs too - should be looking killer by year end dude.

Keep the good work up!

hmm i seriously doubt that! though its coming back steadily, even with no workout.  My arms have never been over 17.5, so yours are definately bigger!  just im a shortie so they look bigger!  i want to see if i can hit 30 inch on the legs, so 1 3/4 inches to go!

Morning Dazc....hows baby bicep today?...lol....less painful as the days go by? or too early yet, sound like a great workout tho'...legs ok?...or are you doing that ole john wayne walk....lol....

hey NG!  bicep is feeling ok, its more a mental thing and feeling very cautious with it!  legs are good, ready for round 2 tonight!!!  woo hooo!

another awesome session!  feeling on top of the world now, i just love training!  More additions as well!

Leg press 1 set, 6 reps
leg extensions 2 sets, single legged, 6 reps
leg curl 2 sets, 6,8 reps.  last 2 rest paused
duck press 1 set, 12 reps, last six rest paused.
Chest press 2 sets 12,10 reps
shoulder press 2 sets 15,12 reps
rear delts 1 set 15 reps
full range tricep pushdown 2 sets 15 reps

45 minutes base conditioning cardio

4 days on the new diet, 2lbs lighter, abs look a bit tighter though waist measures the same.

spazy arm is now a little less spazy, having gained 1 inch since last thursday, and is now sat at 15 inches.  not in great condition, but better condition than a week ago where it measured over an inch less!

why is it sooooo much harder controlling food cravings when there is no target for the diet?  im getting the most unimaginably strong cravings for dirty food.  not broken yet though last night was more by virtue of there being nothing in the house than utter will power!  lol

oh yeah, forgot to add, calfs have grown AGAIN!  another 1/4 of an inch!  vastus medialis has also added a similar amount!

my legs are LOVING this new routine and way of training.  they have never grown so fast, AND im on a tiny amount of AAS as well, so its definately the training!

really hope my upper body responds as well once i can go really heavy again.  May just have found whats finally going to get me up a weight class!

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see you back into it mate and the arm is growing.

it will be back to average in no time at all! lol


Had physio this morning, as i thought really, wasnt a whole lot of use.  for the past week i have been doing some stuff intuitively to get things moving.  the three exercises they gave me were EXACTLY that! lol  still, has to be done, so that if there is a problem i get seen.  if you dont attend the physio the surgeons arent keen on helping if there were other problems.

have booked in to see the surgeon, there is a lump on the tendon in the elbow crook, could feel it a week ago, but not tell wether it was just the skin or not.  now i can palpate the tendon, its definately on it, and its grown a bit as well, which is worrying me a little bit.

Good to see you're making progress Daz. Hope the elbow thing is ok.

Hi Daz good to hear your training is going well, hope the tendon is all ok mate....

another session done, another weight increase on shoulder and chest press, starting to feel more like a workout now, and getting some pump in those muscles.

Leg extension single leg, 70kg, 8 reps, 2 sets
leg curls, 60kg 8 reps 2 sets
calfs, 1 set 10 reps
shoulder press 60kgx15 reps 2 sets could do alot more weight but not risking it
chest press 70kgx15 reps 1 set
rear delts 1 set
stiffarm pushdowns 1 set
full range tricep pushdowns 1 set

35 minutes HIIT, and i was absoloutely wiped out!  really pushed hard on the intervals.

Just checking in on you since you did on me!! ;)
You have a lot of fans dont you..ah
hahahaha

I think you look well hot!!!

I know how you feel my other half is a runner and last weekend she did a 10k thats her third comp run this year, I had to remind her not to book any near the weekend of my comp as i will be needing her help

haha....are the strength increases matching the size increases on the inured arm?

very busy weekend, lots of driving sunday to help a friend move his car, then it was over to warrington to watch the evening show of the UKBFF event.

Fairly small show with only a small number of people, but had a great time.

Met elfintan and chatted for a while, really friendly person, she introduced me to her other half paul george, was great to talk to someone whos done as much as he has. 

James then introduced me to shaun JT, who is a fantastic guy,  very friendly stood and chatted for a few minutes, very down to earth and genuine person, taking the time to talk to a spec on the BBing scene like myself.  I was a fan before, but that has cemented my support for him.

Zack kahn was also there, but im afraid i cant say the same for him.  He was coming out of the toilet as i was heading in, so i took a step back and moved to the side, plenty of room for him to get past, and for my troubles i got a shouder barge and him muttering something under his breath.    Great physique maybe, but the guy as a complete tool.

Sounds like a good day yesterday. I always love going to shows, gets me all fired up
