What'cha on about Delvis, great looking legs there Jake, especially for how lean you are. But I still resent non-regular posters craving compliments Stick around, make some posts - you obviously know how to train

Great stuff :cool:

Got the clippers out this morning to see what was lying under my hair.

Need to improve some things for sure. I wonder how much better I'd look if I was tanned....

I can see the potential there, just need to push myself to build on it.

You got bored last time!

I didn't get bored, I was just missing lifting heavy ass weights. Unless I plan to compete there's no real reason for me to lifting so heavy.

Meh, same difference

Look awesome though. Theres always a reaosn to lift heavy anyway!

The benefit of gaining strength is it allows you to push more weight when it comes to hypertrophy. You'll hit a plateau just lifting for hypertrophy in terms of the weight progression. For example before I did any strength training I'd never have been able to do 120-140kg for sets on squats, 110kg for sets on bench press etc. It's helped me get bigger.

Oh definitely. And it's something I should have done when I started back in July last year - Stronglifts or something.

No, get this idea out of your head. You need to build a decent base before you worry about strong lifts

I meant originally

Not now mate, I mean like 2 years ago when I was training

Put it this way then...If I started on a proper program in the first place, I'd be better off than where I am now

Steedie · 13 Jul 2012 at 08:42

But stronglifts is not something you do when you start out, so even 2 years ago, it wasn't the right thing to do. It's still not the right thing to do

Fair enough then.

All I know is, the last 2 / 3 years of my life of lifting have been a pretty big waste, and I'm now having to start over again. All for the best though

Steedie · 13 Jul 2012 at 08:49

But you've openly admitted you haven't been lifting for those whole 2 years, it's been on and off, either through injury or because you just haven't been able too. Also, you've never had a decent diet, aaaaaand you always chop and change your routine and never stick to any one routine to give it a chance

A combination of all those things is what has led you to think it's a waste of time

Yep. And those injuries are still a burden!

Although in fairness, I did the same routine for 6 months before XMas. Just my diet was shocking so I gained a fair whack of weight, which I'm losing now thankfully

Under 86Kg currently, just trying to work it off still

Delvis you're an ecto and until you can start eating like a bodybuilder you wont get very far.

I have a diet sorted now mate. Funny though, last time I said I was an ecto I got told to get out

I'm currently cutting to get rid of excess fat made up from my noob bulk over the last 6 months. Then I'll be bulking properly.

If you wish, I can post my diet up if you don't believe me?
