road to perfection, possibly! pics page 1.... ***NEW PICS PAGE 15***

lol £5 a month is quality, having looked at uni gym theyre around £93 a year which is ok for when i go next year.

I wish i could drive it all the time though tbh, but the walking does me good, doesnt cost on parking (only council car parks nearby) but just the time it takes plus after a heavy workout walking back isnt ideal, driving tonight though and staying in so all good.

Yeah its great lol My uni gym is about £110 a year, but i just took the pay as you go package as i only use it on wed, as im back home on thur-sun.

Yeah i drive or get a lift.

Out this evening for pub then clubbing most likely but got to be up @ 6 tomorrow so not too great but oh well.

Got a really good leg/back/bicep session in yesterday as well as walking to and from the gym, been out last couple of nights tho which isnt doing me much good ha, FAKE BLOOD this thursday too (which should be amazing).

Got a 3mile run to do later (including walking 2miles there and back to be able to do it!!!)

Did a closer to home run.

1.5mile timed run - managed it in 8.39 today, pretty happy with that, ****ed by the end, but improvement on last time, want to get it down to 8minutes as a goal for a couple of months from now, but just trying to knock a little bit of time off each time!!

good going! the quickest i have done the mile and a half run is 07.50, but that was some ten years ago now, average is about 9 mins now!!

Hit FAKE BLOOD last night, absolutely insane music, shame about there being a fair few pricks out, but music and the night was insane (although getting very very drunk)

Resting for most of the day recovering, hitting the gym this evening though then resting again i hope for the working weekend ahead

Whats fake blood, a nightclub? What music they playing?

Icemansoldier


Whats fake blood, a nightclub? What music they playing?

Nah, hes a DJ/Music producer mate, one of my favorite acts (if not my favorite) plays sort of dirty electro/electro/house etc - really really good though, fair bit of his stuff on youtube, best tunes are probably

Mars (also a gtronic remix that is class)
Cheap and cheerful
Stuck on repeat
Anyway you chose to give it
Look for the woman
Restless
I think i like it
fix your accent
the dozens
marina gasolina (fake blood remix)
Armand van helden (i want your soul) (fake blood remix)

Is sort of one of those artists you may either love or hate though tbh.

Same old for today, working, eating pretty well and just resting most of the time really.

Cool for you, but not for me i hate that type of music lol but everyones diff :D

lol fair enough haha :)

Pretty much is all i really enjoy listening too, although dont mind a bit of 90's/Reggae/RnB/Rap/DnB/Dubstep, actually enjoy most things apart from metal!!

Anyway got a few pictures from the fake blood night, dont show a lot apart from a few of us dancing around!!

More on facebook - under Nathan Attwell

Got asked by about 5 different people if i had pills though which was quite funny, i didnt but was wearing a t-shirt that said LSD on it and was very drunk so may have been partly the reason!

First 2 im at the front with my hand in the air, on the 3rd one im slightly to the left pointing at the camera (black t-shirt guy anyway) - bloke with the laser glasses is one of my best mates and a few other mates positioned around the same area (ie - kid with stripy(ish) grey top with lines and blue writing - kid next to me on first 2 pics with hands in the air - kid with black top and pink underneath on 3rd pic next to laser glasses man - a few more too but not so easy to spot - great night anyway)

Little mix i made if anyone fancies a listen - house/electro/dub/trance

Only about my 5th one and changeover at 6.45mins lets it down, but done without headphones so a lot of guesswork as well as knowing the timings of some songs.

Anyway give it a listen if you like.

LSD T-shirt? No wonder you got asked for pills!

I like the mix, quite house-ey.

Jimbo

yeah is very housy lol (not sure on what the spelling of that should be ha) isnt great though, just made another one but is a lot more electro house orientated will upload it some other time, is a lot better but i didnt try so many complicated things with it, a few bits and bobs but just getting the basics right is the best start i think rather than do what i do and try to over complicate things!!

Yeah well the LSD t-shirt probably didnt help ha but does stand for last state of dance (well thats what it says) but like people are going to take notice of that bit!!

Absolutely ruined by the end of it, fortunately had the car to get back home.
Followed by 40g whey + 40g malto

Just recieved my order of gaspari myofusion which i cant wait to get into, got a bit more of my sci-mentor stuff to get throguh first though.

Also if anyone could give me a heads up on this.
I dont really want to get much bigger and am eating around maintenance calories (a bit less to cut slightly) but some of my weights im lifting are feeling quite easy now, such as deadlifts at the weight im doing, but dont want to increase them too much as am happy with my size now, maybe add a few lbs but nothing drastic.

I know adding size is mainly down to diet, and that probably seems like a stupid question, but would do you guys think? Increase the weight still and eat how I am, or keep the weight as it is?

Holy shi* huge session mate! I bet you were fooked after lol good job you had the car, i wouldnt fancy walking a few miles after legs lol

What flavour of myofusion did you get mate? I might get some in choc soon.

Surely if you eat around maintenance lifts shouldnt increase as quick as if you were eating more than maintenance, you wouldnt put on as much size anyway, you maybe use higher reps. If your eating maintenance and weight is going up then you will put on size too. Maybe lift the same but take less recovery time so you wont be able to lift as much. Up to you quite a dillemma lol

yeah exactly thats what i mean man cant work out what would be best, im doing a set of reps then about 45secs rest then going again, i try to steam through my workouts.

Want to increase my lifts, but without eating enough then that will be harder, but then my lifts wont go up, but if i want them to go up mroe im thinking ill need to eat more and therefore put on mroe size which i dont really want to do!!

yeah was so glad i had the car after doing all that.

Got 1 choc and 1 strawberry, itching to use them but may as well finish what ive got currently before opening them, got a muscltech sample in vanilla so will see what thats like too!

switch to strength training? reps no more then 6 but obviously use HEAVY weights, tend to grow less drastically then on a hypertrophy routine eg, use 5x5 instead of 3x12.
Base your lifts around the big 3 with little isolation work, check out jack5rs, T0NY's and iiank's journals for advice.
and just carry on eating big!
