Good shape VTR....you should try abit harder now and keep it up.

Why am I so heavy....I'm basically 5Ft 5 1/2" , 80Kgs last night at gym (thats 12 1/2" stone). Worked with weights on and off for years....I dont think I look as big as VTR...and I dont think I carry to much fat either....SO whats going on??

I wouldn't get too concerned with your weight, just focus on how you look.

Morba, have you put up "fuller" pictures on here? By that I mean, ones where the meat you're hanging on your shoulders isn't obscuring the view?

God no! I dont dare look at myself in the mirror, let alone take a pic haha.
the pics i have put up are a bit misleading, I am carrying far too much fat atm to even think about pics

WEight is misleading though most people in this thread guessed my weight/stats close enough. I don't personally think I look over 15st. :dunno:

Cheers for the comments, going to bulk up for a couple of months and then maybe try and cut right down for the summer, hopefully to around the same weight as above but with slightly less bf.

I hate the scales, People ask me how much I weigh then proceed to say 240? 250? And I say 210.

Hopefully this tub of cytogainer will help add at least 10, 15lbs :cool:

I've just started training again, I'm back on a high protein diet and I'm taking creatine too.

I'm looking to make gains all over, but I feel my biceps and shoulders could do with growing considerably.

Not a bad base mate, 3-4k cals a day and a low rep, heavy weight routine and you'll pack on the size

Not a bad shape mate, lift hard and heavy and eat like a horse and you'll soon gain

FeFiDoh · 5 Apr 2008 at 00:39

Its gone up a bit my job really hinders my progress I think

Every other week I have to go after work and I find my lifts are poor then. When on lates I can go before hand so I have more energy and dont feel so tired.

You look in awesome shape VTR, esp that first pic. Really well rounded shoulders, thick too! Not a collar bone in sight

Your forearms are bigger than my arms lol

Excellent base to work from. lean bulk and you will be magazine ready imo

Awesome, by lean bulk, you mean pretty big and cut?

I think he just means bulk with clean, good foods. Building muscle whilst keeping a low level of body fat.

MrSix · 6 Apr 2008 at 10:52

Ah right, sounds good.

One thing I've always struggled to do is add thickness to my upper chest, as you can see in the photos, I've got definition underneath, but not in the center or upper area. What should I be doing to build up that?

Rimm3r · 6 Apr 2008 at 11:45

Incline dumbell bench press and incline fly's if you don't already do them.

as above, its a very tough area to build though.

...Unless they're naturally big on you i guess

Supposely a CGB with arms out to side unlike a CGB for the triceps will help build the center of your chest well? I have never tried it though.

You cannot target specific areas of the chest like that. You can target upper and lower because they're seperate muscles but you can't target inner and outer.
