http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/(c) MuscleTalk Bodybuilding Forum30 Lost some weight, off my body and lifts. College is distracting. <br> <br> Time to get back into this full time. got a 6 week break and going to see what I can do <br> <br> At maybe 165lbs now, I had more mass when I was 14... But, I'm very lean with lots of veins, and conditioning is way up there. Proportionally still very strong. <br> <br> I want to get to 180lbs quickly and eventually work towards being 200 again. <br> <br> Goal: gain serious mass, keep up conditioning <br> <br> First day back at the gym tomorrow, going to hit every lift with light weights and figure out whether I'm doing more bodybuilding kinda routine or powerlifting, might hit up my strongman training crew too <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4249569Fri, 17 Dec 2010 06:26:01 GMT Ok, no way in hell I'm going to stick to that routine above.

I got 2nd place and qualified for nationals, but wasn't happy with my performance at all. Was out in the sun for straight 7 hours, tried pacing myself and ran out of time with a lot left in the tank, hurt myself on the press and lost about 1/2 the time(30sec) recovering etc. Got what I wanted though. All part of an experience. <br> <br> Training has been good. I've been doing more bodybuilding oriented routine for about a month now in order to mass up a bit - I'm looking the very best I have IMO, funny because NOW I don't care too much about it, I'll throw up a couple of pics later tonight. <br> <br> couple of high lights from last update: managed a 140lbs thick db press, got a few singles with 185lbs rolling thunder at the end of a workout.... going to work to a heavy single on DL in the gym tonight (will tape it if it's a pb) <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3940574Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:29:38 GMT Walloper I'm gonna come kick some American butt (no homo) if you don't start updating this <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3926830Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:37:06 GMT Where you gone son?! <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3920694Sat, 17 Apr 2010 02:17:25 GMT ace journal mate very impressive lifts. <br> <br> <br> keep em coming :) http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3904365Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:44:31 GMT
