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!

hey dazc, did you get that hernia op in the end?

so...whats the score/plans for the next few months?

havent had it yet! it was scheduled for the same time and day as the bicep surgery! same hospital as well!

still have the op there if i want it, but it hasnt been painfull for months, so i may leave it and see what happens.

next couple of months is drop a bit of BF, pack some more mass onto the legs and possibly a bit on delts, while rehabing the arm and maintaining rest of upperbody size/bringing the arm back a bit with very light exercises.

then i will shift focus back onto upperbody as long as arm is ok, to gain back the muscle lost on the lats, and try put a bit on the chest and tris. going to leave biceps with no direct work.

then towards the end of summer im going to diet right down to comp shape, have a mess about with carb-ups and water manipulation so that i can find what works for me, and also see if i have any balance issues. then its a rebound bulk christmas/newyear, staying nice and lean and gaining slowly for shows at the begining of 2011. if i can get some good size on i may well jump over and do a nabba show before the ukbff shows later in the year, and fit another rebound in.

not that i have thought about it..... lol

enjoyed training tonight especially cardio! lots of attention from people asking about the arm as well, so that was really nice that people bother to ask.

Leg extension, 2 sets 8 reps
leg curl, 2 sets 8 reps
duck press, 1 set 10 reps
shoulder press 1 set 12 reps
chest press 1 set 12 reps
rear delts 1 set 12 reps

felt great to get a bit of blood going in the pecs and delts!

45 minutes cardio, 30 sscv and 15 HIIT. quads were on fire by the end of it! the cardio also seemed good for the arm, to have the movement and blood flow

cant wait for wednesday to do it all again! :-)

Enjoyed looking through this Dazc...good to see someone who really does have the determination to achieve. Diet looks spot on. How come you have the oats and milk in your pre bed shake?

With regards to the arm injury...have you tried cissus? Cleared my tennis elbow right up when nothing else would!

Good luck with everything...will be following this from now on!

hi mate, thanks for dropping in and posting! I actually put cissus in a few weeks back after someone suggested it, untill then i had never heard of it! Does seem good stuff!

I have the oats and milk prebed to add calories for repair during the night, and try slow down digestion otherwise i wake up in the night starving hungry and it disrupts my sleep! also i sleep better with carbs before bed!

have made changes to my diet yesterday, and started them today. Its slightly higher in carbs than my cutting diet that i used for leeds show last year, with more protein and quite a bit of extra fats, so overall about another 900 cals from what i was cutting on. cardio is also back now the pot is off, 3x 45 minutes a week.

im hoping the new diet will see small muscle increases and small fat loss. here it is-

7.30 75g whey, 50g oats, 30ml udos, in 500ml semiskimmed milk.

10.00 large chicken breast in granary bun with olive oil spread, banana, 150g pro+prebiotic yogurt.

12.30 100g Myprotein total MRP in 600ml semi skimmed milk, 30g flax powder, apple

3.00 as 10.00am meal

5.30 train-50g myprotein tri-carb powder, 10g BCAA, 10g EAA

7.10 pwo 50g whey, 50g dextrose in water

7.50 50g whey in milk, 20ml udos.

9.00 250g steak, 60g basmati rice, 20ml walnut oil, 20ml EVOO, small amount sesame oil. mixed salad

11.00 50g whey, 25g milk protein powder, 25g oats, in 500ml semiskimmed milk. handfull walnuts.

never been this high with the fats before (well not good fats, i used to make shakes in double cream to get ridiculously high cals in lol) so looking forward to seeing the results. I quite like experimenting with diets now, and being super strict with them!

Morning Dazc,
just dropping by on a Monday morn.....ouch for the arm pain but good to hear it's coming on a bit...it will progress you know that already, but I guess it's the frustration of the waiting game that gets you down....(well, I'm guessing it is).

Hope things will improve for your this week and hello to Rachfit too. I read her posts on the Q & A...sadly, my poor ole brain don't understand half of it!...(note to oneself)...must try harder!...really interesting stuff.

Have a good one.

thanks for your support mate

quick update- arm has good and bad times, right now its feeling sore, and the pain is going deep into my shoulder as well, not pleasent. Most of the time its feeling ok, but still quite stiff, though its wrist which is most limited in movement, and i have limited grip strength, not only from forearm wasteage, but because the tendons in the wrist are very painfull.

Bicep and tricep have 'filled out' a little, so are less floppy, but still a long way off being back to size.

looking forward to legs tomorrow, as i missed fridays session because the arm fresh out of pot was too tender

Hi chap legs looking well good what fat ?? can you not clean up your diet and still keep a surplass to heal your bicept when i read of your despair yesterday when the pot came off i thought **** not what the result anyone would want but mate seeing the pictures, you got nothing to worry about just take thing easy, couple more weeks is nothing in the whole scheme of things, you will look back on this time and be a better bobybuilder, we all know from your experiances stop training top half and smash your legs to get them to grow, top result not the way you would choose if you had a choice but i take my hate off to you sir you could have sat back and just feed your face, but you didnt you made the best of what you could and look what happened big legs. keep you chin up

To be fair, I know you're not the 5 weeks out condition you were in, but you still look in decent shape pal.
