Getting ready for summer.

[Phedder]

Definitely eat the whole eggs. Only reason to split them is if you're doing a low fat diet (Madness! ) or already getting enough fat from other sources. In your situation, you need the yolks :nod:

[Shutupandsquat]

Age doesn't change anything about having yolks. I'm on a cut, the same age as you and I have the yolks. I would only take out yolks to really take off the fat quick, but since you have 'til summer, you've got a LOT of time and by the looks of you, you don't need to cut if you put on enough muscle anyways.

[Cam_NZ]

allgoods it seems like a waste to chuck out yokes

[trainlikeafreak]

[Shutupandsquat]

Cam, your lifts are going up and you aren't gaining much fat so you are already doing things right. Since you aren't high bodyfat at the moment then you would probably be best to continue what you are doing for say another 2 months, then go on a cut after that which will give you 2 months to lose some fat before summer

Did you even look at his pic? He doesnt need to cut and unlikely he will put on much more weight in the next 2 months to do a cut then either. Eat lift sleep.

what does mum think about all this?

Loveggs, you've done nothing but make smart-arse comments throughout this topic. Have some time out for a few days.

[trainlikeafreak]

bit of encouragement wouldnt go astray.

[Silent One]

Mate, you look like you've got a natural athletic shape with a decent level of muscularity...just carry on what you're doing. You know your body better than anyone else, but I can tell you that to gain noticeable bulk in four months is very difficult (natural, that is). In any case whether you decide to bulk or cut depends on what you want to achieve.

Me personally...bulk, bulk, bulk. Cut down, just for bb shows.

My 2c is that if you want to look good for summer and if your happy with how you are at the moment then just focus on thickening your abdominals as they are un-developed.

Abdominal training to 'thicken' your TVA (Transvers abdominus) will help 'push out' your rectus abdominus or your abdominals.

Hanging leg raises and sitting on your hands with your feet extended in front of you and off the floor are great exercises and you should go for times of holds not sets and reps.

Reverse crunches off a bench also help with a dumbell between your feet.

Start practising for a vacuum, start lying, then kneeling and then standing, it will also help to bring out your intercostals and serratus anterior (the posterior is an underlying muscle).

That's some good feedback, Snoopy. :nod:

I'm particularly interested that you're advocating L-sits (where you hold the legs raised) rather than actually raising/lowering them for reps. Why do you suggest one and not the other? I've just discovered L-sits, and man, they're a fantastic exercise (and hard!). But I'd have thought there was a place for both L-sits AND traditional leg raises.

Hi there,

thanks for your great feedback, I definetly agree with you that both are good, however as he is a beginner and I am un-aware of how he trains and my concern is that if he is doing them for reps there may be a lot of 'jerking' and poor form. By giving him statics and holding for time there is less room for error with a beginner.

However I agree with you as lowering the legs gives a fantastic burn and lessens the assistance from the spinal erectors and quadratus lumborum.

[Cam_NZ]

Yeah cheers snoopy, at the mo i dont even train abs so il add them in a few times a week.

Havent been training this week because of mocks and final rugby game, il get back into it next week.

Cheers

Face pulls and Reverse flys would be my pick. 10-20 rep range and constant tension. Make sure you do plenty of heavy pulling for your back too.

Thats good money! :nod:

Could throw band pullaparts / reverse pec deck in as well. Higher reps works for me on rear delts.

[OnlyHuman]

You have a good athletic "base" already. You could try some carb rotation as a way to work on your body composition. Just an idea... take it or leave it.

Once again... Good stuff. :clap:
