That's where you are going wrong . I don't get people that say they never train biceps, or anything else for that matter.

I train tris, but I seldom ever do isolation exercises for biceps.

Why not giving your weight? It's fairly integral to the thread Looks like you've got a good shape, though shoulders and tris need a bit of work.

Tar. Ok true. 18 stone atm. Yeah I allways have trouble training my shoulders, years of abuse from rugby and boxing

very little actual mass, but then you are looking to box not bodybuild a guess

You're right of course, but then this hasn't really been a bodybuilding thread for ages

At 6'3" that's quite a good weight.

I suffer shoulder issues owing to rugby too but I'm getting there.

What's your bodyfat levels like and do you train legs? From the back you look stocky, but obviously it's hard to get a full idea.

Are you training? What are your goals?

My Before And After Photos

I look Really tired in first

and way out of condition.

Very clear and evident progress, a good drop in BF, lost a lot of water retention around the obliques too. Shoulders traps and lats are looking powerful, you just need a bit of work on your chest and you'll be "there".

Great work.

How tall are you and what do you weigh? How long have you been training i.e. what's the time difference between the shots?

I trust you've been working on your legs too

Not measured my body fat for ages. Im happy with it thou, just a bit of pup round my belly. But ive allways had that lol.
My legs are probbly strongest part and abs my weakest.
Well I train weights 3-4 times a week, then cardo and stuff 1/2 twice.
Well not boxed for 2/3 years or so now, so only train for strength and abit of size.

Cheers bro.
Here's a random pic of my shoulder problem a few years back lol. Lucky its healed well and feels strong again

Dislocation?

richard104 · 11 May 2009 at 22:33

Is that you collar bone in a funny place? :eek:

Andy-Jones-OC · 11 May 2009 at 22:40

Hehe yeah.

. Rembered the young lady who was the physio at the game saying it might be a partal dislocation.
Got to the hospital and I told the Doc the physio thinks it might be a partial dislocation and the doc laughed and said its feels about 3 inchs out of the socket.

Had a crack at shaving my chest earlier, it feels very strange...

86kg 2 weeks ago so probably a little over now:

Is that the most common cause of fat in that area, and is it more a problem for some than others?

Partially as well as higher insulin resisitivity (the lower the better).

Dun, looking good mate. What are your goals? More size? More BF loss? Personally at where you are now I'd want to pack on some more muscle as you've got a fantastic base and potential to look big!

Thanks mate great to hear. I'm not too upset about the curls, your bicep looks about as big as my quad

Freefaller: My goal is to continue to grow and grow while keeping an aesthetically pleasing level of bf in my mind ( I have never had it measured).
A few of the bigger lads down the gym have told me to carry on growing as the base seems ok so well see how it goes

Feels great, going from always being a skinny lad in my teenage years to slowly getting bigger.

Freefaller · 12 May 2009 at 11:02

Yup just take it slow - I agree you have a good building block to work from. How tall are you anyway? Great low body fat and you can see the muscle striations which is always nice. I can only see them when I put my muscle under load doing the actual exercise, but it doesn't bother me too much.

dun · 12 May 2009 at 12:07

The way I seem to gain is I'll bang 1-1.5kg relatively quickly and go a tiny bit soft, then over the following weeks I grow into it and get leaner then the same thing happens again. That's why I try not to look at the scales 24/7 as they may not change for a while as I fill in. At the moment I'm about in the middle. Oh and about 6ft mate.
