from powerlifter to bodybuilder


Recommended Posts

The link doesn't work for me.

 

But i know the thread anyway

 

its unbelievable that this guy has such a symmetry buy only doing basic exercises like squats, benchpressing, deadlifts, and good mornings.

Do you believe that?!

 

I think he said he used to do only these exercises while he was a powerlifter. He built his mass and strength with them.

But i would think he added other exercises when he switched to bodybuilding. Compare the pics. It's more than just getting rid of bodyfat!

6foot 7.5 (201.5cm) unfortunately - i wish that i had made 6foot 8, but it wasnt to be!

 

i still need to put lots and lots more muscle on until im happy with things. 125kg (275lb) and still reasonably ripped is where i want to be heading. i think that it will take me another three year to get to that though. gaining is hard for me, unless i have a constant stream of food, and i get to sit on my ass all day!!

You need a job like mine! That's exactly what I do for a living!

 

I'm actually stuck at 109 kilos, I just don't have it in me to eat constantly right now. Funny thing is that while my weight is stagnant, my body fat appears to be diminishing some. Could I be getting lean? There is a first time for everything I guess.

I am so envious of you men whose problem is that you MUST eat, eat, eat. Not fair! How come women cannot just eat, eat, eat!!!! Undereating never seems to be a problem for moi.

 

Yeah, it's not fair! But, it's hard work trying to get in 4-5,000 calories per day. Then there is poor Jonathan who barely grows at 5,000 plus.

Yeah, me too! I love to eat, and I always have to keep it in check. I do understand, though, that it must be hard to have and eat 3500+ calories a day. That's a lot of cooking and food preparation!

 

My brothers are both very slim. They are both about 5'10" or 5'11" and the heavier of them is about 135# or something. The other is significantly skinnier. Here I am, a 5'5" female, and I weigh more than either of them. Why didn't I get those genes so I could just eat and eat? Of course, I shouldn't be too jealous because I know it can be hard to be very skinny as well--but if I have to work to make my body the way I want it, I'd rather have to work on bulking than on slimming!
