A week rest - should see you stronger in the week to come!

What lip is this, it seems to follow the original bumper design of the facelift bumper keeping the cut in below the grille? very nice!! Mines lip I believe. I have the same on mine and love it

cobra...Cobra...COBRA!!! that is all

Car looks absolutely fantastic mate! New owner is gonna be very very pleased GLWTS

I have a cobra resonated which was fitted by Mitz at cougar store. Great noise, not too loud but enough to warrant letting people know you're there lol

I think Dunks may still have one for sale? Drop him a PM

Current back status after week 3 of Y3T - giant and drop sets. Christmas tree coming through! Ignore the playboy boxers

Beat you to it!

Taras at RT Performance in Wembley?

Don't give up Brad!

Wahey another London member woo! Make sure you're around on the London meets mate

Really sad to see this happen to anyone. You've received a lot of flak from posting this up (some relevant and some just out of order as there's a way to talk to someone without sounding condescending yourself which i don't agree with). You've made a mistake, owned up to it - lets just hope matters get sorted for you and the main thing is you're still alive to see another day. Best of luck with the next zed venture and I'm sure you'll remember this day!

Even more so now bud! 2 and a half weeks out! To be honest I can't wait for it to be over. Has put a MASSIVE strain on my day-to-day life and also with family and friends. More so with the mrs as I'm restricted with meal times, going out, etc...I owe her a lot of make-up time once this is over!

Cheat meals can in fact help with weight loss as long as you use them wisely - I just wish I could use them all the time

I had my cheat meal last night

Glutamine is supposed to be great for immune system etc. and recovery so I was quite surprised at how it affected me. Found a couple of people online who had the same experience, but the majority dont! Still some people dont get on with creatine, but im okay with it! Might have to order some stuff from muscle foods, keep seeing them recommended. Are they good price wise compared to supermarkets etc? I think they're very good value for money - especially when you buy in bulk (I usually spend around £100 or so) and it works out anything between £2.50-£3 a meal and they have quite a variety of options. I've got a referral code you can use as well which will give you some free goodies on your first order CP5701 Also - I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER

Good call on the amino acids, i will hit up holland & barrets in the week. Stallone is awesome for his age, but then again he openly admits to using HGH and testosterone and has done for years. But mind you, thats pretty much the same as most of the "stars" like rock / hogan / etc... if you have an image you need to keep you do anything. I think Arnies probably natural these days from how his physique looks now. Yeah my 10 seconds rest does make it a more intense workout and like you say, if i rested more i could probably increase the weights a bit. My problem is that i have a 1 hour window and the only way I can fit my routine in is to proper whizz about like a looney. Im also not increasing my calories atm, to compensate, so should hit that 10% sooner than later. Once I do I will up the calories & weights and try and gain more muscle. I really need to get the tape measure out & get some stats down, but ive been shying away from that as if the measurements arnt as good as you think then it saps your motivation a bit. Some good pix on this thread. Good work guys! Legs are especially looking good! Chirag has it spot on. However, maybe its just me, but when I tried L-Glutamine earlier in the year it just didnt agree with me at all. Bit graphic but I spent about 3 days on the toilet. Proper wasnt nice. Was only taking about 5g twice a day. Stopped taking it and hey presto back to normal. Thanks mate it's been a lot of trial and error over the years, but everyone's body is different and you have to adjust everything accordingly. Even my coach has learned new things about my body during the past 12 months. I've not heard of glutamine to give anyone a stomach upset? But again your body may react to it differently. I find it helps with the DOMS and it also helps your immune system as well - I've not found myself getting ill as much, and even my hayfever has become more and more suppressed which is great!

For mass gaining I found USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic a godsend! The best all-in-one I've ever taken as it has the right amount of everything. I swear by it when I'm on off-season. If you're trying to put on size then I'd try to go heavy (but what you can do proper reps and not half-reps). Keep your rep ranges between 6-10, but your last two should be a real struggle! Also try to keep 3-4 sets as well this way you're really pushing your body. Time under tension is more important than the amount you're lifting, but don't focus on counting seconds - feel your body working and listen to it. Quality over quantity The other thing to note is focus on compound exercises - Bench Press, Deadlift (careful!) or Rack Pulls (safer), Bent Over Barbell Rows, Shoulder press (Military or Dumbell), Squat (the King!), Leg Press. Get your strength up on these and then start hitting isolation movements. Supplements wise - stick to the basics Protein BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) L-Glutamine ZMA (before bed) Kre-Alkalyn (creatine - but not excessive and cycle it) Eat good quality carbs - basmati rice, oats, sweet or white potato. Avoid processed foods. Try www.musclefood.com where you can buy healthy ready meals if you're struggling to prepare food. Good luck mate and ask away if you have any questions

Thanks man, it's been gruelling and the hardest I've ever had to train but I've really learned so much about my body and what I can do. And I'm natural as well so it's taken me a lot longer than someone on gear. To be honest I'll prob compete just the once, it really does take a massive toll on your life and its been an amazing experience but it'll be a one off for me and then will continue to implement the methods I've learnt to maintain decent size and stay lean. Yeah the playboy boxers are old haha, break out the classy stuff for special time with the Mrs

I'm 27 and have been training since I started uni at the age of 18. Used to just do it for general fitness and leisure but this past year I've been training for UKBFF Men's Physique. My first time competing! I hit the stage on Sun 13th September at De Montfort Hall in Leicester (in case anyone's up for coming to watch ) My coach has put me through the paces of a mixture of high volume and heavy weight training to get myself in peak condition. Two methods I found most effective were GVT (German Volume Training) which is basically 10 sets of 10 reps on the major compound movements supplemented by isolation exercises. The second is a newer method introduced by Neil Hill called Y3T which consists of 3-week cycles. Week 1 is heavy, Week 2 is volume, Week 3 is total annihilation of giant sets and supersets and mulitple dropsets. A few before and after pics of me (no homo lol) Dec 2014 Last night

Autobots unite!

I like B

At the moment - nothing while I save for the wedding fund lol. However I'm still keen on getting a chargespeed rear, so if I come into some "surplus cash" I may still treat the zed
