How the hell did you find that?WTF.
Guy had an awesome body before. Wasted genetics.
Raaaa :\
On the BB.com forums.
Isn't it weird how anabolic steroids are illegal/frowned upon, yet people are freely given that crap to turn them into the opposite sex.
What a great post. Hand down thank you for that what I've been saying for a LONG time.
It's all to do with sexual discrimination etc tho accepting this and that etc imo.
But yeah what a strange video lol.

5x5 on the compounds w/ 120secs rest and usually 3x8 on the others w/ 90secs rest. Gym time of about 50mins I think.
Is a lot but I don't like leaving until I'm exhausted!
Incline Bench
Decline Bench
Incline Flye
These 3, however in particular incline bench and incline flyes HEAVY are VERY good for building mass onto the chest, take this from me. Chest is one of my best parts. It's up to you however 5x5 on those 3 would have me pretty wrecked. If you want to finish off with some dips or cable cross you could. Im not saying to change your routine but that imo would be more ideal personally.

Reckon he retained some of his strength ?

Am I the only one thinking WHY??????????????On the BB.com forums.

I understand it's their body to do what they like but I can't just comprehend why someone would do that?
2nd in the 100kg weight class @91.9kg at the BUCS powerlifting competition hosted by Oxford Uni. Wasn't a very strong class but I'm still pleased for my first comp!
Wouldn't have caught the guy who came first even if I didn't have a strained rotator cuff, a messed up hand and hadn't been ill all week. Absolutely shattered.

Just returning to this BennyC - is this the sort of positioning I should be using when doing the above:

Obviouslly each to their own, but I couldn't go from being as jacked as that to going to what he went to, i'm amazed! but maybe him working out was one huge complex around him being in denial over wanting to be a girl? Like how some guys who are in denial about being homosexual make huge efforts to act as straight as they can to avoid persecution.
I wonder if he/she has had the whole procedure done, genitalia and the likes.

Just wondered what some of you guys thought of my chest/tri day workout? (currently on a traditional 3-day split)
Bench press 3x5
Incline DB press 3x8
Cable x-overs 3x8
Dips (BW) 3x6
CGBP/tricep pushdowns 3x8
Reps are a little bit random but that's because I am pretty much maxing out on my bench in an attempt to get it higher (currently at 65kg
) and I can't quite manage 3x8 BW dips yet!

Well played matey!
Any pics of the event?!
That's a fantatic result!
What were your totals?
Yup that's more or less exactly the position I'm in. Play around with the exactly angle to find which is best for you. However I don't use the cables like that or at all for these.
Just DB's and then I lift them out infront to the position of a 3/4rep overhead press. So still a slight bend in the elbows. Get them up as high as you can, slight pause and then back down again and then back up before you loose tension. (Hands slightly internally rotated thumbs pointing diagnoally downwards slightly) If you need to try lifting them out slightly wider or narrower to which ever works best for you. There's no right or wrong as long as you can feel the correct muscles being worked.
Nice deadlifting
Had someone turn round on their bench with a face like
while I did mine lol Ooo err to the HRT video.

Sooooo, I've taken my 56KG friend under my wing. I feel sorry for this poor little bugger, I'm experimenting on him and he said his whole life he's never been able to gain mass.
My only gripe is changing the weights on all workouts. Ah well, its all for a good cause. (Yeah right, lol).
On the flip side, this routine is quite interesting. My only issue is, I can see my calluses starting to severely shed soon as all my deadlifts/rack pulls are raw, 3 times a week.

Id enjoy deadlifting 3 times a week, fast becoming my favourite exercise , probably a lot to do with it being my strongest exercise
Did legs/shoulders today (job induction tue/wed so unable to do shoulders/bis). Got a standing press of 52.5kg for 3x5 so at least its on the up. I recall you saying not to push press the last rep darkshadow? Reasoning behind this? Or is that just for stronglifts programs?
Also I remember seeing that HRT video on bodybuilding.com, He musta wasted a lot of time/money building mass, also looks likely that he risked his health taking steroids.

I have to say I'm coping pretty well, I think the ridiculous amount of squatting has definitely contributed. My deadline is in 5 weeks. Weeks 3 and 4 are going to be seriously interesting.Id enjoy deadlifting 3 times a week, fast becoming my favourite exercise
