Troy Alves - Resurrection

Amazing DVD. Not like your typical bodybuilding DVD, shows him doing all sorts, plus some fantastic training and diet tips and some great stories along the way.

Such a brilliant physique too, amazing considering he weighs around 212lbs

Oh wow :') LiE your shoulder workout is brutal. Never done BB front raises before, always dumbells, and even with 10kg, making sure to pull outwards i was in so much pain. Rear cable flys are awesome aswell, much better than doing bent over flys on a bench. Huge pump ahhhhhh!

Now for a shake and a walk to asda because i realised i have nothing for dinner

 

[LiE]

The rear delt pump is pretty uncomfortable experience lol!

 

[MoNkeE]

BB raises and pulling the bar apart is my favourite exercise of recent months

 

[Skillmister]

The entire delt pump you mean Plus i was doing it in the best area of gym lighting available so i looked extremely sexy in my vest.

Oh also saw two bicep boys squat for the first time ever today! Well they were doing half squats with the pussy pad, but better than nothing right?

 

[MoNkeE]

Oh dear Chris. Oh dear! haha, genuine lol at the bar here

 

[Skillmister]

By the way don't expect me to text back for a while i've got almost no credit. (credit in 2012 lol what is wrong with me)

to asda! to buy an anabolic dinner

 

[Freefaller]

RIP me.

I've hit my first plateau in my bulking and I've been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks. I started my bulk at 140lbs(5'10)and put on 5lbs in 5 weeks but I just can't seem to put any more on.

Here would be a typical day for me in terms of food and I think the problem is that I'm not eating enough.

Breakfast:
2 poached eggs
2 pieces of wholemeal toast
Glass of milk

Snack:
Handful of almonds or cashews

Lunch:
Tuna pasta mayo
Protein shake

Snack
2 pieces of wholemeal toast with peanut butter
Dinner:
Chicken breast
Potatoes and other green vegetables

Supper:
Cottage cheese and crackers
Bowl of shreddies
