Chestbrah? There's something not quite right about him? For someone well known on the gear seems small and flat in person and he looked so tired and out of it in the face.

Jay Cutler was more of a touch n go. But Phil Heath you could chat to a bit and also got a signed photo thingy so it was ok :)

I only really wanted to go see a few stars Phil, Cutler and Marc Lobliner. Marc Lobliner is real nice in person and had the time to chat with every person from what i could see

He is muppet and looks like he does as its what happens when you mix PEDs with rec drugs. To be big on gear or not you have to eat big and eat big everyday.

I swear 90% of my gym are unaware that you need to eat big to get big natty or not

Fkn skinny bicep curlers, I laugh everytime I see them, but it quickly turns to pity

Mind you eating big has big down falls on health and so on. And its hard work. Im bulking on 4800cals at the moment and keeping it clean its bloody hard work. Way harder than training. Every meal the last quater of it is forced down and feeling very sick. And im nowhere near what i would consider big! Had a dexa 2 weeks ago and was 98kg at 10%bf

Last time I went spastic on food I blew up quickly enough I was questioned about using gear, lol. That's just what happens when you restrict your carb intake most days so it becomes normal, then all of a sudden slam the f**k out of them hahaha. SO MUCH WATER RETENTION OMG.

Also know the downsides of eating a huge volume of food (not so much high cal intake, but just a lot of food for my digestive system to process). Got some potential digestive issues now....possibly lactose intolerance, which wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with the volume though.

I too have a bit of a lactose intolerance now that I never used to have :(

Can still drink chocolate milkshakes but have switched to BN isolate bexause the concentrate was making me feel shit, i.e. prolly the extra lactose.

How tall are you and do you have a pic from two weeks ago (I assume the scan was just before you started bulking)?

I've been minor bulking myself lately...those who do will remember my slight 80kg @ 6'3 frame where I was hovering around 9-10% bf thereabouts. The GF wanted me to have a thicker midsection, so I upped my food intake a bit with an extra meal a day. Consequently, my lifts have also increased in strength and last night I tipped in at 87kg. My abs have lost a fairbit of visibility, albeit still a clear outline; no bulk is ever going to be all muscle (or even mostly muscle for that matter), so at a guess I'm prolly hovering around 13-14% right now and the pants are feeling quite tight lol. On the plus side (pun), I've never felt this healthy physically...leading me to think that I was training too hard for my food intake beforehand and operating at perhaps too much of a deficit (I was down to 10%, which isn't extreme, but considering the food I was eating wasn't particularly healthy either). So anyway, I'm happy where I am for now and enjoying some strength gains. Will be interesting to see where it takes me on the hypertrophy side of at all, considering that's not really a goal of mine (but could be one day?).

On the other hand, I do believe there's such a thing as overbulking, as your body obviously can only use so much more food to build size and the rest will be shit out or stored as fat.

Im 6ft and dont have a pic at the moment but im mid way (about 9 weeks in) through the bulk but got the dexa because i thought i was getting fat. So i have put on bugger all fat which i was surprised with as i have had a fair few cheat days. There is a photo in the gym and sup thread of me looking shit and flat on no carbs. was about 92-93kg and shit photo but was more 8% looking at me now and the most recent dexa. Eating lots of carbs makes a huge difference in how everyone looks

One thing eating and punishing myself in the gym has done has ruined my stomach and not sure if eating or gym has done it but i found out im hypoglycemic when i got blood tests.

Time to substitute those carbs from potatoes for M&M's lol

I thought about it but shit legs and calves would have me placing last.

I sort of make a goal and say ill just maintain it. As soon as i make that goal its another.

There is actually a good video on youtube about bigorexia.

I still look at my self in the mirror and dont see my self as different to the average person. I dont go out often because of lifestyle but when i do i always get a few comments. I know im bigger than average. Just an addiction thing i guess. And maybe a few head issues hahaha. Doesnt help that pretty much all the guys i train with compete and are well over 100kg off season some up to 125kg. Most get down to 90/95kg when they compete. So im the small guy! certainly doesnt make things easier on the brain lol

Also on the topic of the Arnold Classic,

My mate and SAU member Justin made it to the Jay Cutler FB page :D

your mate is a big boy! Unless jay has dropped a huge amount of size. Actually got some arms on him regardless!! People really dont get how big these guys are in the flesh!

Meeting big ramy not long ago pretty much made everyone look like they had aids or something

Yeah Jay has lost quite a bit of size imo. Friend is only about 6"2 and 95kg

Phil Health was about 3 x the size of me. And Cedric Mcmillan was massive and made Ben Pakulski look small

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
