Well, here are pics of my progress over the last five months...

I'm now 6'1, 80kg (that's 176llbs, I think) and currently bulking slightly - it being winter here.

Critique away...

What did you weigh before??

I put the befores and after pics next too each other I don't see barely any difference, especially for 5 months.

How is your diet?

yeh, no offense I don't really see much of a difference. The pic from 2 years ago shows a lot of progress though

Yeah bro, your traps seemed to have gained, other than that most everything looks about the same. Try changing things up, untill you see results.

**SpiRit** · 08-11-2003, 12:50 PM

thought it was same pic at first ... lol :s

Deadlifts + Squats + BenchPress + Rest + calories = mass.

Don't bulk slightly, just bulk. Lift heavy, with good form and you will get where you need to be.

Good luck.

hmmmm... you need to change your routine and diet cause I don't see any change except for the fact that you have gained a little fat... mostly in the stomach...

**Fjock** · 08-11-2003, 02:10 PM

**farshidghanei** · 08-11-2003, 03:07 PM

Revised Front-DB, before:

(I've lightened the shadow under my arms, since it was making them appear thicker than they actually were!

Well, a resounding shout of "no progress", huh? I was afraid that might be the case!!

The thing is, I feel bigger, and people have been saying I look bigger... But the scales and the photos tell a different story.

What the hell could be the problem?! My training and diet have been consistent. Rest is probably the biggest issue, but I'd guess at an average of 7-8 hours sleep a night.

My diet - well, I thought it was good... Basically, it consists of about seven or eight meals each day. Here's what I ate yesterday, which is a pretty fair representative sample:

As for my workout routine, I do change it every four to six weeks.

(Although, for a month or two in the middle, I was aiming for mostly strength training... 4-7 reps, which I guess could have contributed to the lack of progress?)

Basically, each new routine has had a different arrangement of exercises, a different number of sets and reps... even the split was different. Here's what I'm currently doing...

BTW - the log works like this:
- Each exercise has two rows, one for the number of reps, and one for the weight.
- Each new column is a different set.
- So for instance, on Monday, the first exercise is three sets of pullups, followed by two sets of lat pulldowns, then three sets of barbell rows, etc...

WheetBix? try Oatmeal instead.

As for the workout.

Lose some of the fancy workouts (such as Dumbell kickbacks)

Focus on heavy compound lifts.

Ex: Quads

Leg extensions (warm up) 2x15
Leg Presses: (working) 3x8
Hack Squats (working) 3x8
Squats (working) 4x8,6,3,3 (pyramid up)

Try to use a three day split with one day of rest between each workout (to rest and recover).

Increase workout intensity until your legs are quivering at the end of the workout, also, time your MRP's around the workout, drink a 2:1 ratio carb/protien shake before and during. Another shake afterward, and then have a whole food meal one hour after you lift.

Then rest.

Good luck.
