:shock: Lookin bug Android!

You should post some pics of your legs up, they must be getting massive after your new squat records \:D/

You realise you've set a precedent now. You're allowed to wear a singlet in your pics when you're bulking :pfft:

Cheers Soundsgood, I'm holding my gut in I swear!

Got to give some credit to MichaelK, judges, and a few other Pros I talked to after the shows last year who all suggested I change from high rep work to heavy weights in order to bulk up. Nothing like change to induce change ay.

Also got to give myself credit for listening to them, I could have just ignored them so big ups to me too :-) LOL

Back tonight and got to throw some good weights around, only did a few exercises though the time just flew by. I get a few people coming up to me to buy stuff and want to talk so it eats into my workout time think I'll start to wear earphones or something. Training should come first or it'll show on stage at the end of the year where it counts.

Pre-workout was some sample with GABA in it which I find pretty good, it has loads of other things like L-Arginine and Caffeine etc. I also had a Lee Labarada Extreme NO drink and sipped Purple Wraath before and during the workout.

I also consider the food I eat during the day as an important pre-workout intake of course. Today before the workout I took in about 600gms of meat, 6 eggs, a tin of tuna, 4 cups of rice, an apple, 200gms of oats, then an hour and a half prior to the workout I ate a tin of baked beans and another tin of tuna. (4 tins in total today @185gms each!). That explains the 106kg weight, a kg was extra food floating around my body :-)

T-Bar rows up first and warmed up with 45kg, 65kg, 85kg. I did 5 working sets at 85kg I almost threw on another 20kg (I did actually) but removed it when I saw my hand looked bruise din the same spot again. Thought about seeing a doc but will just keep an eye on it a bit longer 85kg isn't a light weight and I'd only be swinging the 105kg up and down anyway so probably 85 is a good weight for me.

Next up was seated cable rows, half stack warmup, 3/4 stack for 3 sets of 12 reps then edged on to do the stack, for 8 reps. Lots of swinging to get it back but slowed down the return so got a good lat pull from max. weight.

Pulldowns and no stupid weight here we were tired actually from previous 2 exercises. Repped out medium weight but good form for 4 sets, 12 reps each.

Finally Shoulder Shrugs, bit rushed but got 3 sets done and walked out of there feeling like I'd done half a back workout. Will hit back again in the weekend a bit harder in more various angles than I did today to make up for it.

Dinner was tuna salad with 380gms of tinned tuna, one can was Olive Oil, the other....not.

Looking buff Android.... Body Combat :shock: do you do those classes?

No classes for me I couldn't keep up Biggurl!

I did half an hour of boxing before my show last year and nearly fainted, sweated like a pig, and probably lost 2 kg in the process. Think I prefer the slow way to lose fat, power walking each morning over a 12 week period.

I snuck in a Leg workout just 5 days from the last big P.B squat workout.a

This time I did different exercises and went heavy on the Hack Squats.

Warmed up on Leg Extensions, 30 reps followed by 4 sets of 15 reps a bit heavier.

I loaded up Hack Squats 40kg at a time, starting with 20 reps of 40kg, 15 of 80kg, 12 reps of 120kg, 8 reps of 160kg, and 6 reps of 200kg. All reps were bum to the ankles or the machine bottomed out whichever came first. Last set was a mammoth set as the gym was so freak'n hot and sweat was pouring off everyone as u can imagine in your part of the country today. Finally I did a drop-set of 20 reps, 160kg back down to 40kg until my legs were wasted.

Right over to the Leg Press and worked up sets from 80kg for 20 reps to 280kg for 8 reps. This took 5 sets to get there and we contemplated ending the workout.

Finished off with lying leg curls. My hammys felt really good, quads not screaming like last time so curls I was able to concentrate just on the hammies. I squeezed upwards fast and slowly down to suit the hammies.

They've improved alot these last few months but there's alot more Leg work to do front and back. Front-on the sweep is getting there, large tear-drop etc, side profile more work needed both quad and hammies. I've been going to the bottom of my Squats, hack Squats and Leg Press and noticed that the side profile improves from this as the top of the quad is worked when in the crouched position for the initial launch up or out of the Legs.

Plan to do Arms tomorrow and throw in calves at the end. Then do Hammies and Calves in the weekend. That'll be alot of Leg in the last 3 weeks but as u can see from the workout the number of exercises is not enough to do jsut once a week. Some split front and rear Legs into 2 days a week, this is kinda like that but not...exactly like that...just kinda like that without being...like that :-|

My Quads are aching thank Allah it's REST day today! I think I need a zimmer frame to get me around for a few days, ay GymRat. ;-)

It's amazing how just 2 exercises can do so much damage to the muscle fibres I'm stoked today and surprised.

Yesterday was Arms and Meat day.

I had just over 1kg of chicken, cooked in the morning for the day ahead.

After the workout I had 400gms of beef for dinner, then a tin if tuna (and a tin of baked beans) at 11pm just before bedtime.

That's 1.5kg of meat for the day, I'm totally stoked with that effort and today is another 1kg of chicken breast with tonight's food yet to come.

I only have a protein shake first thing in the morning and after a workout, at no other time during the day do I have them.

I've changed my workout times to 5pm instead of 7pm starting from this week, family committments first ay.

This should give me an extra meal after my workout, 1 when I get home before 7pm, 1 at 9:30pm, and 1 before bedtime.

Although I've reached my target of 105kg if it looks like I am not eating enough and losing size in this heat I'll throw in a shake at midday.

Got to leave myself some room to make a change so no need for midday shakes just yet. My bedtime protein is meat, the slowest release of protein you can get :-)

Making the change of gym time gave me time to take stock of where I am for my first Nationals in October.

There's only about 25 more workouts per bodypart left for bulking and I'm going to put all of those remaining weeks to good use with solid workouts and the very best food.

I'm really stoked and on target for a good showing, already I know I don't feel like I could have eaten any more or any better than I am right now, I train consistently, eat every 2 and 1/2 hours 7 days a week, and I rest.

Posing is something I will start 12 weeks out when I start to shed my bulk so not on my mind just yet.

Posing 12 weeks out? Don't you pose everytime you walk past a mirror or after a shower? :pfft: Never too early to practice posing

Hmmmm I see your point.

I do admire myself in the mirror more than usual :-) LOL

But I pose to gauge how my body looks size and symmetry-wise, not practising posing per se. I really need to pose with 'presence' on stage, fluid motion between poses etc that kind of thing.

That sounds like a good idea Android to have zimmer frame on stand by if you can't walk after giving your legs a good blasting.

Can you recommend a good zimmer frame, do they have makes and models like cars do, where do you think oldies go and test-walk them? :D

Just find a zimmer frame that you like Android but I can not think of any good brands that make zimmer frames.

Really, you seem to be an expert on them?

Seems to me your the expert on here......At being an asshole.Mr fcukn negative!

Gym rat talks alot about zimmer frames and the like so it is only natural that he would know some common brands etc. Now I'm only guessing here but I think Android would not appreciate your swearing and negative talk in his journal
