Can we have a pic of you sporting the blu ray squat tool next time the cam is out mate?
I may just do that at some point, purely for your benefit of course, maybe i'll be able to dig out the pink vest for the picture as well!

Nice one mate. The before and after pics on the previous page are great results! Must make you feel even better looking at those and give you motivation to go further.
You look like youve got a decent amount of muscle on the after pic, When you are doing your weight training 4 times a week, are you lifting heavy weights small reps? Or vice versa? VERY nice, i think i might pinch your routine if you dont mind lol, its the kind of results im after.
Nice one mate keep it up.

Cheers Mike!
I've never done high reps/light weight.
At the moment im training just for strength, so reps are very low.
When those before/after pictures were done i was doing a rep range of around 6-10 reps lifting as heavy as i can and aiming for around 4-5 sets. Just did 2 exercises per bodypart and did each bodypart once a week.
A rough guide of sets could be - 10, 10, 8, 8, 6 or 10, 8, 8, 6, 6.
I do think the above is a good plan to follow, although please bear in mind that simply following someones weight lifting routine does'nt mean gains will follow likewise.

If so, i don't do that at the moment, i just used that when i was dropping bodyfat last year.
At the moment it's low reps for me, around 1-6 for 4-5 sets, just training for strength gains.
Ref drop sets or super sets... no, never really got into them. I tend to just stick with the real basics, always have done.
I just up the weight as i lower the reps.

Got back from a 3 mile jog about an hour ago.
Boy was my lower back sore from muscle ache, i recon i'd only done half a mile when the pain really kicked in! I really wanted to stop and walk but just kept saying to myself 'it will only take me longer if i walk' so i kept jogging till i got home.
Still pi$sed off with my injured thumb, i want to get back on the weights asap!!! Just hope it's ok for Monday, i don't want to train through it then end up making it worse.

Yeah, it has pee'd me off a bit, especialy as it was injured from messing around (details in post #75).
Today i did nearly die whilst jogging!... well, felt like it at least
I did try supersets at some point years ago. Not really for me, i tend to stick with the same thing untill i stop making progress, then look at changing. I often find just changing the rep range is enough to get me out of a rut.

I mainly use the bike if im wanting to cut, as i can keep a steady pace for a long duration on it.
Of course i could just cycle at a higher intensity for fitness gains, but overall i find jogging much better for fitness improvements.
Although at the moment i plan to use both. I don't plan on jogging tomorrow because i want to recover fully for next week, so tomorrow i will probably do some light cardio on the bike instead.

Have a look at page 4, post #75.
As for the cross trainer, i see no problem with that, it really comes down to what machine you can keep a steady heart rate on.
I personally find it easy to maintain 1 hour at a steady pace on the bike, easier than i would on a cross trainer, rower or treadmill.
Also because i train at home and like good solid equipment, an ex-commercial cross trainer is much bigger and costs far more than an ex-commercial bike. So the bike is also a more practical choice.

I see, i personally think thats a pretty good plan for hypertrophy and i would expect decent results from it. Although i would like to throw in a 6 repper for the last set just to so my muscles get to feel a bit for weight.
