I trained early this am, and hadnt eaten before hand, maybe this is why i felt really sick after? or i went thru to much water or sat down to much so blood stayed in legs and didnt travel throughout body thus not supplying me with enough oxygen.. probly all of the above amde me feel like shit. haha

I try!! haha maybe to hard :pfft:

Good start there mate!

I'd say it looks like you've got wide hips so make your back and shoulders as wide as possible (guess everyone tried to make them wide-as anyway but just an observation).

Will be good to see you all cut onstage this year :clap:

[biggurl27]

Could just need to muck about with your elbows placements. When you lean up you're going to whip some asssssss!

Cheers mate, yea been starting to hit the back hard, just bought some wrist straps (only used once so far) but they helped a ton!! back got a mean pump and pushed out sum heavier weights for more reps

What you think i could get on stage at?? 80? or you think id have to go under?

[Android]

First time just come in the best look you can attain mate.

I can't imagine trying to nail your physique for the first time onstage AND trying to turn up at a certain weight.

Come in as lean and full as possible that's all, once you can do that then play with picking a contest weight.

[Laver]

Welcome back Big_J

You'll have to meet all the new nzbb recruits since you left - and visa versa!

Best of luck with nats.

All comments welcome.. good or bad haha, i mean this is bbn isnt it!

Good size Big_J but you do have a problem with your chest (same as your brother did/has) it's lagging behind and you may have problems getting it up to speed with the rest of your upper body, I say this because you have massive front delts and most likely knowingly or not use them in your chest workout more then your chest.
