Diet:

not too consistent here but always improving, just make sure i get my macros in. aim for 6+ meals a day with good protein and carb sources. Currently aiming to gain quality weight so lots of oats and brown rice.

Current goals/direction.

Previously focused on powerlifting but sort of steering towards bodybuilding now but will always look to improve my big lifts.Right now i want finish of a good 2 years of bulking(added 15+ kilos to frame \:D/ ) looking to get to 118 kilo but the mirror is my main measurement tool. Gunna do a cut next year, gunna be fun to see whats under the jelly but for now lift hard, eat hard and listen to what my body tells me to do (then do the opposite).

watch this space homies

cheers guys.

getting sick in the gym can be something cool to talk about but it ruins workouts/growth opportunities. Im stuck between going light and having focus hard on mind muscle connection or go heavy and really hit some painful reps. I admit my condition is shit, may need to add cardio to handle the tough workouts. I will be so happy the day i can hit quads as hard as my upper body and even hamstrings. would be nice to move some real weight.

Nice squatting bro. It's tough for you tall guys

I know what it's like to feel a bit sick after heavy squats. I'm impressed you still went back out and finished off your workout. Shows dedication!

haha i know alot of tall guys use the "im tall, my long levers ruin my strength" i used to be like that but now i dont really think about it.

always feel better after a spew :grin: i used to train with another fella on here and i remember on day having a spew and he comes and puts his hand on my shoulder and says "your set" :-?

did some deadlifts for the first time in 2 months yesterday. didnt expect much but surpirsed myself with unbelted PB of 225kg. yeow can't wait start strength specific training again anf get them lovely carbs flowing.

slowing starting up my mass eating regime/eating an F load. starting to always feel full and never hungry. aaaaa i miss being hungry.

sidenote;local aesthetics crew really pushing the level of how douchebaggy one can possibley be. too early to rant so il just leave it at that.

for those interested:

just looking at my last post where i was 114kg, now currently just a squeek under 119. quite an increase and im happy. must note; full gut and well hydrated can add on a few kegs but if theres some new muscle mass in there i'm happy. Physique is shaping quite nicely but quads and hams are being stubborn.

120 shouldn't be a problem in the coming months if not weeks. oh lord what next? 125? when will it end?

Just an insight into my current lifting system,

-not following any structure but generally lifting 5-6 days a week making sure i hit arms twice every fort-night to bring them up.

-sticking to one muscle group a day, found it to hard doing two as the second trained dosn't get the same attention.

-4exercises for large muscles/ 2-3 for smaller. 4-5 sets generally increasing weight til 3rd set. 8-12reps upper body plus dropsets or supersets on last 2 sets on each exercise. 20 plus reps on last sets on last exercise

-every rep controlled, focusing hard on the negative!

-keeping rest time short, take more or less as by feel

checking in.

Not as active as i have been but seems nothings has changed. same arguments and conclusion-less topics. Jokes, there is some quality discussion on here.

My story:

Bodyweight levelled out at 122-123 kilo. gunna try and hold it here for a while might shed some fat in near future. Lifts have been good. benched 130 for 6 last week followed by 3 of 140. deaded a 240 weeks ago but not doing the lift anymore. Squats have been good too. the numbers arn't amazing but the intesity has bumped up. 4 sets of 10 at 140kg in under 10minutes.

arms have grown too which im stoked about.

dieting has fun. I eat and eat and eat eat. What i want when i want. pies fries and chicken chicken chicken. Eating no less than 600-800grams of chicken a day.
