Nice work, starting on the abs. I have the same dumbell problem when Im doing incline press. My 50kg training partner has to struggle with the 35kg dumbells just to pass them to me in the pressing position.

At least you can flick the dumbells into position from your knees when your doing incline.

But dude thats just mean getting your training partner to lift 2/3 their bodyweight. Thats like me throwing around 70kg dumbells, aint gonna be to happy about it :evil: .

I just clicked, is that actually you dressed as a jamaican in your avatar?

[GreekAdonis]

Yeah the old using your knees to bounce them up trick is the best alternative. Dont know what I will do when I move up to 40kg dumbells cos she wont have a bar of trying to hand me those.

Yeah thats me in my sevens costume. \:D/

SUN 1 MAR - REST DAY

Woke up this morning and found my tape measure so took all my measurements. The intention is to see how much bigger I pump up after working that bodypart, so I will list the pumped measurement after working that part after each workout this week (hope that makes sense )

Anyways

Neck - 17"

Biceps - 17 3/4"

Forearm - 14"

Shoulder width - 27"

Around chest (nipples) - 49"

Around belly button - 37 1/2"

Thigh - 29"

Calve - 17.5"

Went to the Chiefs game last night. Was another heart-wrenching loss. Drank 8 beers and felt hung over this morning. Thats what you get when you never drink :jail: :pfft:

I get the opposite effect. I dont drink but last month at the sevens I think I was making up for lost time. I drunk everyone else under the table! :jive:

[1day]

:clap: some big measurements there dude, blows all mine outa the water, but at least the one measurement i glad i smaller(belly :pfft: )

[soundsgood]

Yeah I definately got you in the belly. I was less than 87cm a couple of months back :pfft:

Conveniently forgot to mention my rump measurement too. 45" :oops: It definately helps with the squats

[Luigi]

how did you measure your shoulders ?

[soundsgood]

thats some big frikkin shoulders :shock: the average door is only 30 inches, faaarkk

hmmm actually I just re-measured, my missus went around the shoulders a little bit I think. Theres a couple of inches between my shoulder and door frame when I stand in it. Im more like 27"-28" sorry :doh:

[gazza]

that's some set of tree trunks you got for legs mate :nod: probably here somewhere but how tall are you?

nice deads, i'm starting back on them on tuesday won't be near you though

[soundsgood]

how did you measure your shoulders ?

Just ran tape measure from edge of delt to the the other. I think maybe doing it against wall would be better :think: mark where each shoulder is and measure that?

Thanks Gazza, Im a short ass. Only a metre seventy six :shifty:

Nailed the squats, although I was working so hard on the last few reps at 190kg, my head turned red and I thought I might black out :oops:

Jumped on the scales and came in a 106.4kg so Im still gaining which is good. I know its taken me a long time to realise this but I tend to gain weight on my rest days. I won't be so hesitant to take them now

I was sidetracked when I got home from the gym so forgot to take my pumped measurements, took them half an hour later. Still measured 18" calves and just under 30" on my quads.

Will be revising my diet either tonight or tomorrow, so will be interesting to see what I can come up with and still keep my calorie intake high.

[Luigi]

Had a workout at Morrinsville Gym with 1day again tonight. Something about the gym pushed me a little harder than normal. It was probably the older guys who had been training for years watching me that gave me a bit more motivation :wink: They were surprised when they came over and saw I was deadlifting 200kg, they reckoned I made it look easy, I assured them it wasn't :pfft:

Measured my biceps/triceps after the workout as Tri's had swollen up a bit, they were 18.5", but Im sure I should be able to get a bit more out of them after bicep train tomorrow :pray:

Oh forgot to add - weighed in at 107.2kg so getting nearer to that 110kg goal. And no, I do not have abs as good as Android at the moment :doh: :pfft:
