Similar to above, use lat pull down machine, but instead do underhand pull downs (hands same distance apart as pull up) this literally replicates the movement of a pull up but allows you to use a...

Thanks, this is good information to know! When you talk about the optimum contractiondo you mean during lifting, or just general through the day?

So would you say a 2" difference is normal? I don't think it's bloat because it's always like this

I never count weight of bar when using EZ curl bar, or even the smaller barbell just makes it easier to track what plates need to be used.

But as said above when using the 20kg bar I always add...

Just interested in the difference between the two for other people.

Measuring around naval and widest point I'm 35" relaxed and 33" when the abs are flexed.

This seems big difference to me so...

Personally I think barbell is much worse for pressure on the shoulders - which is why I don't bench only db press, I feel I can get much more ROM without feeling strain on the shoulders.. Everyone...

Dude great job! Honestly one of the better transformations I've seen here. Showed great determination to keep going all this time, but it's obvious that it was all worth it. This last stage to get...

Good work bro, just quick question, are you doing any other exercises or just the ones you are recording on here?

Great work bro, shows great commitment! How long do you bulk for before cutting? And vice versa?

I'm on the last phase of cutting atm, down to 168lbs from 204lb. After being fat I want to do it properly this time to avoid it happening again!

Atm I'm weight training 5 days a week (been ill...

Lost 28lb jan-july on no cardio, 4-5 workouts a week and strict diet. However have now started tabata at end up each session as I don't want to drop anymore of my 2100 cals. Lost another 3-4 lb...

If I'm honest I don't really have much advice on the bulk part, that has never gone too well for me so will be something I look into more, however as I understand it clean bulk refers to eating just...

Set yourself small targets, maybe 5-7lbs at a time. Then when you get there evaluate how you feel and if you're not happy, go another 5-7lbs. I started at 200lbs, thoughtd I'd only wanna lose...

A lot of people may think I'm weak fr saying this, but fast foods. I love a bit of Indian or Chinese, but since starting my cut in Jan I have been very strict on the diet, and missing out the bad...

Stick at it bro, if you try start lifting heavy too earlier you'll just end up hurting yourself, or my likely use terrible form like so many hero's you see in the gym these days.

Stick with 8-12...

Personally I'd cut. Just because you're cutting doesn't mean you will just become skinny with no muscle - if you train hard as you would on a bulk 3-5 days a week, but nail the diet, say 2000-2200...

I'm currently cutting and taking creatine, I've still found with good diet and training hard I am still losing weight, and also size on waist, so for me it has been fine.

Agree with above. If you want to increase ab size, train them like you would any other muscle for size gains - none of this 300 crunches a day.

Like said above, give it a couple more weeks and see what happens. I have been on 2100 a day since jan, and some weeks dropped lots, some stayed the same and some I gained slightly, however in the...
