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,

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
 
 
 
 
 
 

I can't recall what forum it was but I threw one little c.unt into a sentence and you'd have thought I'd bummed one of their grandmas

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

First: That's you in your avi? And you've been training for 2 and a half years? Natural? My god... kinda shocked tbh, that's insanely impressive!

1. What's your favourite routine that you've tried over the years?
2. What's your favourite food? (Bulking food, not cheat meal!)

My Fav routine ive tried over the years would have to be my current one im doing :
 
mon - chest, bis
wed - traps, shoulders
fri - back, tris
legs on sat or sun
 
Fav food would when bulking would be either 10 birds eye fish fingers with tomato sauce or a good old fasioned steak with rice or potato waffles.

Hi bigjack

I thought you said that wasnt you in your avatar? I am sure when i had a discussion with you a few months back you said you were around 20 stone with a high bf%.

whats an example of a days worth of food?

Mankini, interesting choice!  Can't see all of it in the photo though

You don't include protein drinks in your diet, any particular reason for that?

No questions really.Just wanted to say your looking awesome mate. Stay natural for as long as you can. Your bigger than me and most guys I know who have run numerous cycles.

Can't really think of a question at present but just wanted to add that you'd do extremely well in the BNBF - I hope you do compete one day as I'd like to see you step on stage - good luck.

There's true hero worship, right there!! 

Stay natural - I have a friend who like yourself was amazing as a natural and done quite well in a few comps. Now that hes juiced up hes not really been getting anywhere.

Few Questions

1) Favourite City?
2) Favourite rude word?
3) Strangest thing you have ever eaten?

Hi Mate
 
No it is me in my avi and me in my pics, think you must have me confused with someone else.
 
20stone at my height would be rediculous  lol cant see it myself
 
For an example of a days worth of food see the previous posts i did yesterday in this thread.

haha true but trust me people dont want to see the full pic! its a little revealing to say the least!
 
I only ever buy protein when i have the spare cash, and at the minute with me just starting a new job i havent bought any myself for a while. I will get one at the gym after ive trained, but rarely consistently use it in my day to day diet.

thanks mate. I am going to stay natural but from time to time i just get the urge to try the dark side lol. patience i keep telling myself. You look in good shape in your avi yourself, are you competing or do you have any plans to?

Random questions but here goes - fav city would have to be manchester, i like the set out and plenty of shops to browse through.
 
I dont have a rude word i would call favourite but i think Sh!t prety much sums certain things up well.
 
Strangest thing ive eaten thus far would be snails in garlick sauce in switzerland, suprisingly nice!
 
 

hi mate

how on earth did you get to that size and condition so quickly and at such a young age?!

what worked best for you in regards to certain exercises/routines and foods?

mate you really need to get some photos up, posing properly!

your chest looks to have ridiculous depth to it!

your way bigger than myself, and most people i know, that have been training far longer and using gear for a long time.

Must of been another bigjack then , i specifically remember as i was shocked that my bf% was lower than yours and you're the same height as me. No worries , must of been one of those days when i was tripping on caffeine.

Any pics of your physique when you first stepped in the gym, as that would make a very interesting comparison?

What does a typical chest workout include? High volume?

Mate you're an inspiration to natural trainers!

As peagreen said it would be great to see some comparison shots.
