Yeah, i know that one... sick! ;D

Thanks for the conpliment mrbear, but i think tom platz has no leg competition with me! ^^ His legs were just from another planet!

Well, you cannot win against your genes... ;D I'm from the beautiful city düsseldorf! thx, a good weekend for you too!

Thx... i guess it's genetics... legs and back

...

...

Here are some pics how i look like right now... fat!! ^^ But it should be a good idea to see the progress...

most people think it's quite difficult to learn... i'd also say that it's much more complicated than english!

hehe...i see probably easier for you to follow my log here! ;D

concerning cardio: as i wrote at the beginning of my log, i'm gonna stick to strict low carb diet and pure weight training as long as possible... normally that works best for me. cardio will only be added if it should pe needed at the end of the diet, to get rid of the last bit of bodyfat...

hi there! i was really lucky today, no real probs with my back, and my workout was quite good! i concentrated on a very correct form while doing my exercises, and that was a help as well. hope it will stay like this! my workout of the day: seated calf raise: 30kg x 11 leg press (narrow leg position): 190kg x 10 leg press (wide leg position): 190kg x 8 good mornings (straight leg position): 50kg x 11 seated one leg curl: 30kg x 8 chin ups (overhand grip): bodyweight (95,8kg) + 10kg x 6 pull ups (close reverse grip): bodyweight (95,8kg) + 10 x 6 barbell bent over row: 60kg x 8 dumbbell bicep curls: 20kg x 8 barbell bench press: 105kg x 5 barbell incline bench press: 95kg x 6 weighted dips: bodyweight (95,8kg) + 35kg x 7 standing barbell press behind the neck: 60kg x 6 tricep dumbbell kickbacks: 12,5kg x 13

Impressing progress! You got a really beautiful body!

Well, i'm glad if i could help you with my point of view... By the way: i follow you on twitter now

I know, calorie intake is quite low for a man, but my personal experience is that it's easier for me to lose fat with a rather low calorie intake and pure weight training, instead of more calories and additional cardio... i always choose a pretty low calorie intake for my competition diet. From time to time i will do a little refeed to speed up my metabolism. As long as my training is alright and i can lift the same weights as before, i guess i'm not losing muscle tissue...

Okay guys, this is how my diet looks like: 1. meal: a big shake consisting of 700ml water, 1 banana, 125g mixed berries, 150g spinach, 50g soy protein powder 2. meal: 1-2 carrots, cucumber salad with 3 tablespoons rapeseed oil, shake with 50g soy protein powder in water 3. meal: about 500-700g fried mixed vegetables, 50g walnuts, shake with 50g soy protein powder in water 4. meal: shake with 50g soy protein powder in water (before i go to sleep) All in all: 1840kcal, 69g fat, 86g carbs, 215g protein

It's really interesting here! Everyone seems to be quite friendly, interested and helpful. I made the experience that in most of the "ordinary" bodybuilding forums, there are a lot of idiots who write just crap or are mean or agressive with other members. I like the positive attitude of the guys here!

Thx mate, i'll do my best!

I think i'll have to go to a doc in the near future since my lower back is givin me pain and trouble after every workout now... Anyway... tonight i'll try to post my next workout, as well as my diet plan that i'm gonna follow the next time.
