I've been waiting for this topic. I have about a 5 to 1 ratio on my housemate. The more I eat the more I fart. Probably due to beans and soy. It is fine at home, a little harder when you are out and about...

yeah I don't think I am going deep enough. I was trying to work on this last week and I am getting closer to parrallel every time. Oh and football for 1 hr 20 again. Gym tomorrow.

Best TV show going! Hugh Laurie doing an awful American accent, "Billy" from Neighbours, diseases you can't even pronounce let alone have ever heard of before...makes me smile and laugh everytime I watch it. Anyone else a fan?

07/12/06 Squats 77.5 kg 1x6,8,10 Chin up (-15kg) 1 x 6, 2 x5 (hmmm...) Dips (-0kg) 3 x 8 Military Press 35kg 1 x 6, 2, 3 (arghhh!!! dammit! ) Skullcrushers 30kg 2 x 6, 1 x 3 Incline Crunches (10kg) 1 x 7,6,5 V-ups 3 x 15 (with medicine ball)

I'm in. I'll take photos and send in my weight closer to the 1st of Jan, as I am gaining a couple of pounds each week. I'll start a new log just for the contest too. Goals are of course increased weight and muscle size, but I will try to work out some specifics (might need some input so they are not too easy/hard)

06/12/06 Bench Press 50kg 2 x 6, 1 x 4 (working my way back up...) Dead lift 60kg 3 x 6 Tricep extensions 20kg 3 x 8 Calf Raises 75kg 3 x 6 Incline crunches 10kg 2 x 6, 1 x5 V-ups 3 x 15 (with medicine ball)

I'm in for a challenge, as I am recording this stuff anyway. One thing though, is there some way to standardise how everyone takes/poses for the photos so they all look the same?

hahaha thanks. 04/12/06 Squats 75 kg 3x8 Chin up (-15kg) 3 x 6 Dips (-0kg) 3 x 6 (switched my dips and chins around which even them up a bit for difficulty) Military Press 35kg 1 x 6, 5, 4 (grrr...will improve on this ) Bicep curls 30kg 3 x 6 Crunches (60kg) 1 x 6,5,4 V-ups 3 x 14 (with medicine ball) Need to eat more!

viewtopic.php?p=56795#56795 Progress? I am working on the principle that everything got slightly bigger therefore it looks the same...

New photos as requested by Richard. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ctzn_smith/Random/23nov06002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ctzn_smith/Random/23nov06003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ctzn_smith/Random/23nov06004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ctzn_smith/Random/23nov06005.jpg Doesn't look that much different! Well apart from definitely filled in some of those big boney holes in the chest region, and well my back is bigger I think. My legs are a lot less 'fatty' too. There is a stone and half of weight gain hidden in there somewhere!

23/11/06 Dips (-5kg) 3 x 6 Chin up (-15kg) 3 x 6 Military Press 35kg 1 x 4, 2 x 2 (bit off more than I could chew?)

Thank you! I knew somebody had the answer. Actually www.clusty.com had the answer after my google search didn't give me what I wanted.

Jonathan you are rapidly becoming my sensai Squatting tomorrow!

18/11/06 Football for 1 1/2 hours, pulled my groin I think... Then joined a gym...so my workout was a bit odd as I tried to work out what discs weighed what, and scratched my head as to what I was lifting at home...it didn't appear to be obvious. Bench Press 40kg 1 x 10, 50kg 1 x 4, 45kg 2 x 5 (not good, as I said I was getting used to what was what...next time I am going to use the Smith I think as I don't have a spotter.) Dead lift 50kg 2 x 6, 1 x 3 Calf Raises 50kg 3 x 12 Bicep curls 25kg 2 x 8, 1 x 4 (couldn't remember what I was lifting before and so was a bit off the mark, although it felt good...my form was good I think too as I had a mirror to check it) Crunches 45kg 1 x 8, 2 x 7 (using some odd crunch machine) V-ups 1 x 12, 2 x 10 (too much on the above? or just being lazy?)
