cheers dude, I've got my eye on 1 in particular, I've always wanted to be big but I'll put it off for a month or so
As soon as it's done, I'm gonna be on 3000+ calories/day

lol, I will definitely do it tonight...I reckon it can't be too bad as long as I get the 3 workouts per week with a day's rest inbetween...
Luckily for me, the other guy who's after her's the biggest geek ever and I outweigh him by at least 30lb
I'm still gonna get better and beat him by an even bigger margin though

i just have a piece of advice, i kno you havent asked for it or anything but...

if another guy is after the same girl you are....shes not gonna look into either of your bodies too much...or your looks for that matter, especially at our age (you are 18-19 right?) look around campus or the mall or wherever and look at how many heniously ugly guys have really hot girlfriends, its simply mind-boggling, you just have to kno how to talk to girls, be a little cocky and they will believe you, especially at our age

It's a crime against humanity!

You have to have a bit of attitude without being arrogant with it - trust me.....I mastered the art when I was around 20 and got more crumpet than I knew what to do with (well....actually...I knew exactly what to do with it! ).

......Ahhhh....those were the days......now I'm a married man

Make the most of your rootin' falootin' years guys!

hathy - I appreciate advice dude, lol, please give it as and when you can! I'm just working on getting everything perfect...I've been after this one for like 2 years and I've settled a couple of times over that time and regretted it

cammo - cheers dude, I'm working on it, they seem to think I'm 'nice' though lol...I'm definitely gonna have to work on the bad boy thing lol


ooh, I got my workout in today, legs and shoulders, the only problem is the weights I use, I stick as much weight on the bar as I can and I've got used to it now. Can't wait 'til university, university gyms and I can finally go heavy! Between now and then I'm gonna build up my reps though, might as well work on endurance...

Did some HIIT this morning on a stationary bike, my brain wasn't working at the time though (really really really tired!) and I completely forgot about BCAAs...
Ah well, I'm working my chest + triceps tonight, last week I did skullcrushers and they seemed to work the top of my chest quite well so I'm gonna see how heavy I can do them tonight...

Alex

okay I kinda forgot about this but to be honest I haven't made any progress...

however, that's all about to come to an end!

I'm going to my local bodybuilding gym (Muscle Mania) and I'm gonna be doing TKD Guy's beginners' routine. I'll post that below in case you don't know it...

My current stats are:

Weight : 154lb
Shoulders : 43"
Chest : 36"
Waist : 32"
Hips : 37"
Thighs : 23"
Calves : 16"
Forearms : 11"
Upper arms : 12.5"

The stats I want are:

Weight : 175lb or more
Shoulders : at least 46", I really want the wide but flat look
Chest : 40" maybe more
Waist : 30"
Hips : Can I change this? I doubt it I wouldn't mind smaller hips as I lose fat but they seem to be bone rather than fat...
Thighs : 26"+
Calves : 18"+
Forearms : 13"+
Upper arms : 14"+

Since the diet plays the most important part of getting big, for tomorrow I've bought a litre of skimmed milk for starters. I've got wholemeal bread too...

The main meal in the evening will be quorn for protein and some baked potatoes for carbs.

I'm also gonna get a couple of bananas, some more grapes, low fat cottage cheese for the evening and whatever else I see and like...
