Unfortunately the majority of people that work in gyms seem to be massive tools! Hook me up with a mint tea please! -

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.

Its rubbish. Stick to the tried and tested idea of lifting big weights using compound exercises. -

You look like you're doing pretty well. Big compound weights and over eating on food should do it! (and a rather fetching moustache!) -
So you are a Vegan for health over ethical reasons?

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. -
