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

 Right after hearing good things about it am going to try to keep a journal and actually keep to it if i can.

Problem is my training and diet is a bit all over the place so hopefully this will help me keep it in check, although being quite busy with lots of things currently wont help too much but will go as best as i can.

My main goal is basically to do cover modelling at some point, my avatar photo is my most recent but is around 6months old so will try to get some posted at some point.

Am currently
Age: 19
Height: 6foot2
Weight: 14stone
Bodyfat: 14% (guess)

My overall target is to get to around 15stone/95kg at around 10%body fat or so which is a fair bit of work away but is long term target.

Dont use any steroids but as for supplements am currently on.
Boditronics express whey
maltodextrin
Gaspari size on (just started and with rave reviews giving it a go)

My training schdule is different to normal id say, am just trying something new and to some people may not look too great, but have been improving everything on it so far so sticking with it till end of September when current gym membership runs out and hopefully get a full time job in a gym.

Anyway, here goes, starting from this morning.
________________________________________________________________

6.30am - wake up, 30mins fasted cardio (steady jog)

7.15am - 75g prrodge oats, green tea + protein shake.

goodluck with your goals mate, i too would love a physique like a cover! seems like a dream to me though! hopefully get there one day

make sure u note all the changes, gains and sides of the size on buddy, plenty will be interested in it, including me! i've never done anything more than protein shakes, but am starting to consider some sort of non-roid related size increase supplement now...

bit more of an update for the day.

cheers boys hopefully will get there in the end :)

Anyway update, not a very good one though.
Went out on friday night as i said and got a bit messy had too much and etc etc.
Got in at 3.30am.

6.30am - wake up - could only manage a bowl of alpen was not feeling good but needed something, along with a pint of water +3 paracetamol.

Diet on saturday is pretty poor due to working a 9hour shift on part time at sainsburys, got 4 to do on Sunday but not so much of an effect but still get some time to get food in, but crap at preparing so go with what i can.

10am - tin of mackarel

1.30pm- tin of mackarel, frijj milkshake, 2egg+cress sandwhiches.

5pm - get back from work, taking serving of size-on as the packet says, about to get a shower then will get a protein shake.

As i said very poor really but going out fridays doesnt help at all.

Will update a bit later on but diet still wont be too good today, just put saturday down as a sort of cheat day now.

Your diet isn't as bad as you made it out to be! You'll look good with another few kilos on your frame, your blessed with broad shoulders and narrow hips (git)

Jimbo

Formerly 'lil_jimmy'

yeah not as bad as i thought when written out i guess, but still could make it so much better mate :)

Am trying to get some pictures done so will post them up later.

As for the shoulders to hips, unfortunately my hips arent as narrow as id like, bit of extra skin on obliques but can hopefully sort it out with some CV, when i do it properly away from my classes!

Right as promised managed to get some pictures.
Hopefully theyre not too bad!

(All pics are cold)



















As you can see, looking to add a bit of size and reduce some fat would be good, seem to be storing most of it around the mid-section unfortunately!

Yeah, sort your life out you fat bastard. It's obvious who ate all the pies here.

Mate, you're got an unreal physique! Seriously well done man, keep it up you look class.

well done mate - keep at it - quads look v impressive.

cheers lads, really is appreciated, will try to get some more up in a couple of weeks.

7pm - homemade (well by my mum!) chicken curry, basically chicken, rice, runner beans, tomato, onion + egg.

8pm - green tea

9pm - green tea + 3 weetabix

Just sticking in tonight really need the rest, loads of football on the box to keep me entertained for a while, will grab a protein shake again before heading off to sleep.
Will update again tomorrow evening!

bit of an update for this morning.

8am - get up - 1hour of shuttle runs + bodyweight exercise (did this with an exercise class but always join in too)

9am - bowl of porridge + green tea + protein shake

Got work again a bit later on which am not looking forwards to and means 4hours without food, plus the 15min walk to and from which isnt great but have to deal with it. When the flapjack bars get through then will be easier as can just take them.

11.30am - size-on

11.45am - serving of last nights curry

off to work unfortunately will try to update later on but got an interview for a job doign some dogsitting lol.

By the way man, there is absolutely no way you are 14% bodyfat. The reason I say that is because I'm 17%, and look at my pics in my journal! And I got mine done by a dietician with a calipers, etc so I'm positive it's accurate. At a guess I'd say you are around 12% maybe.

You are lean as fook mate. Certainly do not need to worry too much about adding fat during the bulk. Prob could do with some more chest and back mass though.

Dog sitting job sounds like fun, theres quite a large market for it in Brighton. Would make a good jogging partner!

yeah defo on the chest and back, giving them a good pounding of late just find them a lot harder to develop than legs/shoulders/bis/tris which is slightly annoying but working them more and more, back pics aint great really, think i have a bit more than shown but maybe the pics show what they really are like so need to improve.

Cheers James also.

finished work at half 4 and had a pepsi and pack of crisps, awful i know but only food available from vendimg machines really so needed something.

5pm - Bowl of muesli + bowl of 3 weetabix.

7pm - Am planning on having a couple of large servings of lasagne with brocolli + carrots on side.

As normal weekend diet is pretty average but try to keep it half decent although use it more to cheat now.


@CK - yeah maybe am at around 12, not sure just had a guess of around 14 so stuck with that really!


And as for the dog sitting yeah could be good, way to earn a bit of extra money too and am pretty good with dogs so should suit me quite well for the time being, met the dog already and is very energetic, seems a cross between a staffy and a rotweiler but not exactly sure on the breed.

got another pic.
Not a great one and shows how i need to add to my back a bit, probably the hardest part i find to grow but gives me something to compare to.

9.30am - get up - protein shake in water.

10am - 400metres uphill as quickly as possible, walk back down and repeat 4times, was absolutely ****ed!

10.30 am - bowl of porridge + green tea.

11am - tin tuna

Planning on going to gym at 12ish for legs/back/biceps knackered though so may have to do a fairly light day, will update it later on if possible, is brothers birthday so probably going out for a meal.

Side note- popped to some girls house to have a chat to see if she wanted to meet again but was out so left a note as lost her phone number lol so hopefully she will text back. (those who saw my thread a couple of weeks ago will know why this is in here lol!)

2pm - get home - sausage + cucumber + tomato baguette with green tea (not great on the sausages but my nan was round and had cooked them so felt rude to object + they are lovely anyway and have some protein anyway!)

Will update on diet later as should get on at some point, but just resting now as am shattered.

That sprinting sounds punishing lad, id imagine your fcuked after it, especially following it up with squats and deadlifts on the same day.

8pm - dinner - paella - loads of rice, chicken, seafood, veg etc etc followed by a piece of victoria sponge (brothers birthday had to be done) and 2 cups of green tea.

Feeling a fair bit more relaxed after earlier training ready to go for chest/shoulders/tris tomorrow!

Got my sister cooking for me at 8ish so not sure what ive got, but probably somethng along the lines of pasta + mozarella cheese, so nothing great but crammed in a fair bit of food already today.

As thought with dinner 8pm mozzarella cheese pasta had some tuna to start though and apple crumble for desert, was very nice although nutritionally not the best.

10.30pm - protein shake - off to bed ready for a run tomorrow morning, planning a fartlek session of around 30/40mins depending how my legs are, still killing from monday!

Them burgers are nice, but they always seem to fall apart on the BBQ!

Followed directly by 50g whey + 40g maltodextrin.

12.45pm - MP protein flapjack

Got another class still to teach at 5.30pm as well as going out this evening clubbing so not ideal, but still always up for going out.
