What, do you think that if he ate 2000 calories a day extra from protein only, he wouldn't put on fat? Or that ice cream is special and instantly gets stored as fat?

You make a good point. Thats why i smile to myself when i hear of people guzzling half a dozen protein shakes a day in the belief that all that extra protein will be used for building muscle. It won't.

Deamination

Any tips for the pics above? Any improvements or, should I keep trying to bulk?

Had the morning off earlier so I decided to do some mid-morning lifting....such a bad idea. Had a fairly big breakfast so I had the strength/energy to lift. I just had such sharp pains and aches when pressing. My right arm gave in when doing decline flyes. I'll stick to lifting at night in future.

I can't see how training in the morning even after a decent breakfast would cause you pains shifty. Sounds like you have an injury mate.

Looking good by the way, but yeah, get bulking and give that chest some extra hammer

only women cut. Real men bulk for life.

Lies. Unless you want to look like Michelin man

Cutting is TOUGH! takes a silly amount of willpower. I'm dreading my next one.

Powerfull build there Morba, your arms are massive. Ever thought about working the doors as a side job?

What else doesnt increase with your size?

I hear hanging a 10Kg disk from it increases the length

Strong looking back and arms ethos.

Whats your height and how long have you been training?

Jeffstar · 22 Apr 2008 at 11:00

That'll teach me not to skim past posts

Looks like the oldskool HIT is paying off Wardie, can definitely see some improvement there

Cheers

HIT did work quite well for me, I especially benefitted from having a seperate day for shoulders and triceps.

I'm on an Upper/Lower at the moment as I wanted to do that Hungarian Leg Blast where you squat with around 30% 1RM but do so for 2 minutes, then increase my 30 seconds every leg session until you get to around 8 minutes!

But i've had a back injury so i've not been squatting or doing a lot that involved lower back.

Once it gets better i'll be back on HIT without a doubt

Increasing my kcal a fair bit now, just going to have to keep on top of make sure I don't go too far the wrong way.

Aye, get that back injury fully healed first mate.

I'm interested in changing up my routine a bit, may just give HIT type training a go if my training bud is up for it. Will be a refreshing change from our volume type training

Looking good Freefaller. Whatever your training/diet is, its working well for you.

The very fact that you have acheived what you have in 12 months should give hope and inspiration to anyone thinking about taking up bodybuilding.

Just imagine how you are going to look with a few years under your belt!
