Dumb idea doing 'roids. Lots of the people I know who did them weren't even serious about their fitness. Just a perceived 'easy' way to look ripped etc. Idiots who aren't looking after themselves.

You got to get out of this idea that all that matters is the size of your biceps and how much you can bench.

Been there done that in my early 20's. Was a buzz I guess. Now I prefer a good all round fitness with running etc. Also stuff like staying flexible and looking after my body more. I've had loads of bad injuries...and currently need surgery on my shoulder. Don't want to be superman anymore.

I havn't read the whole thread but I have recently finished my tub of Body Science Hydroxyburn Pro which is a high grade protein/weight loss mix and I thought that it worked very well for what I wanted to acheive (grow bigger and then get some definition).

just weighed myself on monday 7-9-09 and weighing in at 90.5kg 3 weeks in (Started at 85KG) still have untill the end of september to try get close to 95.

John Cena has a pretty killer physique.. But Kevin Levrone in his 40s is pretty killer

i weighed myself just then on our super dooper freight weigher.. no shoes but clothed.. 75kg.. im 25 and 6'1", i started when i was 21... and was 55kg.. so 4 years, 20kg gained.. and always staying reasonably lean.. id like to be 80kg by christmas.. i think for my height, 85kg should see me with a reasonably comfortable physique.. not too big, but not small.. aslong as i can fill out a medium t shirt.. ill be stoked.

john cena and kevin levrones physiques are amplified by the fact they are usable in the real world.. say what you like about wwe wrestling but its a highly athletic activity and they cant have off seasons. kevin levrone is a martial arts dude isnt he?? thats now into acting??

nah he was in the mr. olympia.. watch his vids on youtube when he was in his prime.. 200kg behind the neck presses.. BEST bodybuilding physique in my opinion.

im around 5'8" or 5'9" and weighing 90.5kg

Howabout bodybuilding legend Ed Corney shown competing at the age of 64 ? That guy is simply immortal

OK a quick question as I'm clueless in this department-

When you're doing a bicep curl to failure with the maximum weight you can use for your given amount of reps/sets, is it a good idea to then step down and just use a smaller weight as a bit of a warm down or just stop and move on?

Yeah ramadan is pwning my mates at the moment, long practical sessions at uni are proving a bit too much for them mentally, hats off to you guys...I couldn't do it

that depends on your rep range and your set range..

if you are aiming for 10-12 reps... and on your first set, you manage 6 reps... then you need to go lighter.. if you reach 12 reps easy... you need to up the weight.

if you hit 10 reps on your first set, 8 on your second set, and can only manage 6 on your last... then drop a bit of weight off and continue until you hit desired rep range or failure.

some people do full reps at lower weight, some people start each set at their desired weight and keep dropping off at each failure point and keep going until they finish the set.

whatever you feel like doing really.

drop sets are to get the absolute expenditure from your muscles... the lighter weight works the back up muscles when the big ones are toast.. dont use it as a warm down though.. you muscles need to be punished... just stretch them after each set and rest.

Haha yeah Ramadan is pwning alot of people atm, some are still training while fasting but yeah I just didn't see any point since no food is feeding the muscles or anything. Just have to cop the one month good and hope to get back to it sooner rather than later! haha.

i'm been neglecting gym for the past few weeks now due to Ramazan month, can only attend 2-3 days a week at max, really taking it easy but once the month is over get back into full on.

Currently weighing at 92kg with about 13-14% body fat

By years end i am planning on gaining another 3-4kg getting to a top of 95kg but at the same time reducing my body fat to around 9-10%...

It's not an easy task by all means but with sheer determination and keeping my self motivated, i will achieve my goal by december. That means i will be spending at minimum 5 days a week at the gym. Focusing on each body part individually.. quads & calf, bi's & tri's, chest, delts & traps, lats etc..

bi's are at 18" in circumference

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
