  1. Ooooooh. Just seen that you're not in the real London!
  2. Unfortunately the majority of people that work in gyms seem to be massive tools! Hook me up with a mint tea please!
  3. So heres my intro. Name: Robbie Age: 31 Height: 5'10 Starting Weight: Stuck at 72kg (158lbs) About me: Ex smoker, drinker and party animal turned health freak! In 2007 I gave up smoking and my life turned around. I've raced sprint and olympic level triathlons, ran 20minute 5k's and 42minute 10k's and cycled 155 miles in 9 hours. As a classic ectomorph I have always been small in frame and found adding muscle difficult. I did starting strength back in 07/08 and got to 75kg in bodyweight but the more I got into endurance sport the less weight lifting I did until it all stopped. I have struggled in the past with unsupportive partners too... This time I am doing it right though! My goals are to add more muscle and get to a point where I can lean up a little (although I am far from fat) and although some strength gains would be nice my goals are mainly to look better. I have been back in the gym for about 3/4months and seen some good gains which appear to have stalled but as of the end of January are now going back up (thanks to a 4500 calorie workout day menu). My main focus for bodyparts is it have awesome legs (especially calfs) and freaky forearms! I have been Vegan since December 2010 and although it makes bodybuilding hard sometimes - it is one of the most worthwhile decisions I have made (after quitting smoking) and has changed my outlook in so many positive ways. I try to weigh myself on Saturday and Sunday to check my weight is going up but also judging on how I look in the mirror, will be measuring myself monthly as well. Current PB lifts Deadlift: 8 x 110kg (no straps only chalk) Flat Bench: 8 x 60kg Squat: 8 x 90kg (below parallel) Current measurements in cm (inches) and are unpumped and not tensed. I'm doing these myself so how accurate they are I don't know! Quad (right) - 57 (22.4) Calf (right) - 36.5 (14.4) Hips - 92 (36.2) Waist - 86 (33.9) Chest - 93 (36.6) Shoulders - 108 (42.6) Forearm (left) - 27 (10.6) Bicep (left) - 31 (12.2) Neck - 37.5 (14. Workout schedule depends each week as I go to the gym before work (630am) and cannot go on a Tuesday or Thursday. But if the programme starts on a Monday it works like so... Monday - Quads/Calfs Tuesday -Rest Wednesday - Chest/Biceps Thursday - Rest Friday - Back/Calfs Saturday - Hamstrings/Triceps Sunday - Abs **this day never changes** Monday - Shoulders/Forearms Tuesday - Rest Wednesday - Repeat I am currently doing 3 x 12 with a 60second rest between sets, reps are slow and controlled with a focus on good form and where possible I increase the weight each workout or do extra reps to keep the programme progressive.
  4. He means its great you are starting so early!
  5. Welcome! You can buy it through Amazon. Be warned though, we pay the same in £'s for it as you do in $'s!! Far too expensive In London long?
  6. Its rubbish. Stick to the tried and tested idea of lifting big weights using compound exercises.
  7. You look like you're doing pretty well. Big compound weights and over eating on food should do it! (and a rather fetching moustache!)
  8. So you are a Vegan for health over ethical reasons?
  9. Oh I never said it always meant gear - just that it can be a sign.
  10. One reason for this correlation between muscularity and neck shape/size is that certain places of the body have a higher percentage of androgen receptors than others. The neck muscles are one such muscle group with a larger number of receptors. This becomes particularly in cases of androgen supplementation.
