OCUK Body Builders: Post your Pics!

Yeah MTA99 was a scrawny wimp! Even I was heavier than you Adz!

More embarrassed about the hair tbh!

Why do you think I left it there

I can understand how difficult it has been for MTA99 to bulk up though. I myself was 6'4 and weighing in at just 10.5st

It has taken me a long time and a lot of eating to achieve 12st and I'm no where near as muscular, I just have good definition. I need an even better diet.

Two words mate.........

MAN BOWL!!

RoboCod · 28 Mar 2007 at 17:34

I have a MAN BOWL, it's bigger than the Cookstool bowl! I fill it with pasta and tuna most days. God why am I so fit and slim?

Quality Thread.

$loth - Legs looking good, building some mass.

MTA99 - Nice hair

Other than that, looking good. Why do you think you can't quite match the rest of you with the chest? Routine?

Chong - Looking big and holding quality mass there.

As for myself, I'll post some pics up when I can get some taken.

Think its probably technique. I've always pushed with my triceps rather than squeezing my chest. Unfortunately I only realised once i'd formed a pretty strong mind-muscle connection. Find it hard to focus on using my chest

Tried focusing just on the 'middle' of the movement? So you'll lay back on the bench, push your chest out and pick up the bar. Bringing the bar down to your chest (couple inches off to save your shoulders imo) and pushing up roughly 3/4 of the rep and bringing back down and performing the movement like this for a while? This has helped a few people I know eliminate the over-use of a third party muscle whilst trying to train their chest.

When I have problems such as the one you have just described, I just drop the weight right down and focus on perfecting the technique once again and stick the weight up again once I have the technique perfect once more. Everyone has slips in technique, one week it can be perfect and the next week there can be something slightly off. It's often something extremely minor that is keeping you from reaching your potential, and once you realise what it is, the gains are incredible.

.... Now get bulking!

thats the first thing i thought! you would look fantastic (more than now!) with some more lean mass

merlin2k6 · 28 Mar 2007 at 20:29

Starting to get a little bit of shape now... Hopefully it will continue

Chong Warrior · 28 Mar 2007 at 20:33

Big traps

Styles · 28 Mar 2007 at 20:34

Looking good, and it will continue if you continue to put in the effort! Good work

merlin2k6 · 28 Mar 2007 at 20:56

Cheers lads. I intend sticking at it. Just need to get my routine right now

Your back looks pretty impressive like CW.

Styles · 28 Mar 2007 at 20:57

If you need any help on the routine you know where to post

oddjob62 · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:02

If i ever decide to become a bodybuilder i'll post my pic.

merlin2k6 · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:02

I Posted what i currently do now Here and gather that its not the best of routines.. I was/am going to post in on the MP forum, but just havnt got round to it yet (Lazyness/lack of time) so any help is always much appreciated..

Maybe a 3 day week might be best, mon,wed,fri but cramming more in in a session?

Styles · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:11

Yeh 3 days sounds good tbh.

Monday - Chest / Shoulders / Tri's

Wednesday - Back/Bi's

Friday - Legs

Something like that, training calves and abs every other day. How would that suit you, obviously just as a base, exercises can be added in once you know the type of routine you wish to follow.

merlin2k6 · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:17

Sounds about right to me

I think i might start giving that routine a go from next week see how it goes, it gives me an extra night in with the trousers as well, saves me ears a bit hehe

Good base to build on there MTA99, good forearms too! Proper poser, for the ladies, six-pack physique.... Now get bulking!

I've posted my pics on here a few times, most have probably seen them by now: Linkage to pics

Latest one I have is this one but it's still back in August last year before my little accident. Most my pics are blurry though, this is one of the best quality! I think I was just over 210lbs in this pic.

Damn, now I know why you call yourself Bison :eek:

Can you be my personal trainer?

Cheers, I think the other pics are better though

You wouldn't want me... I'm a slave driver!

CW if you leaped off a high building, do you reckon you could land safely by gliding down with your lats?

I think you could.

^TANK^ · 28 Mar 2007 at 22:51

You have very well developed shoulders (deltoids) chong Warrior :cool:
