Are duck presses with legs wide and high up the plate?

they certainly are!

I'm doing those too, in fact funnily enough we are doing quite similar things - well apart from the actual weights used. Very interesting!

Evening Daz, Brekkie battle with Aaron on the ferry. Are you doing Hull/Rotterdam? if so love that crossing done it many times in my Exhibition contracting days, and love that drive in to Germany via Venlo to the various Messe around that area. Enjoy.

If you are stage ready earlier, do an earlier show mate?!?!?

Then will give you more time to Brits anyways etc

haha, i dont want more time untill the brits! it was hard last year to diet the second time round, much tougher than the first, and i dont want to do anykind of rebound ( i cant or ill never make weight) so i will have to pretty much hold condition for the time between qualifier and brits.

im not making the move to u90's, ive thought about it, and i dont want to. i like my health too much, i like being injury free and not living in pain everyday, i like being able to move properly, and sleep on a night!

ive commited to doing the MT show, and thats still my aim. I have 4 days away at fibo 8 weeks out, and then the bodypower 5 weeks out, i want to be ingood condition for the bodypower, but be able to relax diet so that i can enjoy those events. Fibo will be a 4 day pig out, with me and aaron diong battle at the buffet breakfast on the ferry! lol

Cool mate and that is fair play, Fibo sounds great, will go one day I think

I agree with your health aspect mate, everytime I am pushing for mass I get ill, not sure I will get to my desired goal without feeling like **** everyday, which is very annoying

Like your approach your a 365 days dedicated bodybuilder, hats of for that bro

Be ready 6 weeks out, and hold it...
Or, eat like a pig at FIBO and start again when you return...
