Opinions on this routine..


That's great bazza.
 
^^^ I wish someone made me read that when I started out wasted alot of years doing five day splits, at one stage I got some really good size but looking back I could have gotten there a lot faster without having to live in the gym 5 nights a week & wouldn't have a recurring shoulder injury that is a direct result of too much bro curling and programs that focused on too much bench and shoulder work.

Legs they're not just for putting in your tracksuit pants.
 

Love it.
 
Brawn will answer most question for the neophyte
And unless you are a cripple and you are not squatting, kick your own arse for me.
 
Hmm I dunno you guys are getting a bit too technical for me....

I'm almost happy with the size i am now, just want to widen my back a bit more and get a bit more chest, traps are a good size and legs can get a little bigger!

Once I get to a size I'm happy with I will start cutting up and try and bring out some definition across the board - mainly focusing on abs tho!

I don't do any direct arm work either because they grow to fast and cant fit in to my tops. I have a lot of clothes and definitely don't wanna have to buy a whole new wardrobe lol.... so no curls for me


Also with widening my back, ever since I started doing a lot of chins, my back is widening heaps, I put on a shirt the other day and it was very tight around my lats which is a good sign!
 

What the hell did I just read.
 
Haha legs are far from mamoth, me and my gym buddy call them the twigs... but they're big enough to not fit into some of my jeans...

Arms are fairly big although like said i don't even train arms! will get some upm to date pics up soon
 
This was when i was at 87 KG's about 2 months ago, shit pic and lighting but u can sorta see my bod..


this one was tonight in the gym after a back work out.. good example

 
Putting on weight at a pretty steady weight! suprise myself everytime i jump on the scales... just over 94 now!

My goal was to get to 95KG then start cutting but at the rate i'm putting on weight i might try for 100 now then start cutting!!



So far this program is working very well for me, don't know why some people are so against it =\


*Edit - was just looking back through this thread, i was weighing in at 90.4 exactly a month ago so almost 4 kilos in a month!
What's the usual rate of weight gain when bulking? i don't feel as though i've put on much fat ( have been eating fairly healthy but big portions) although it would be interesting to find out my BF %..

Good luck with the big 100. How is your chest coming along as at 87 it was lagging in comparison to your arms?
 
Thanks guys

Chest is actually putting on some good size, starting to get a nice shape - I'll have to get some updates pics up to show!

I don't think I'll get to 100 to be honest but I never thought I would get to 94 either so we'll see what happens!!
 
Height?

Since you started in the 80s a lean hundred would probably be difficult depending on your height. It all depends on how lean you want to be really. I doubt I could stay at 110 at under 12 though I am 6'3.
