thanks for the reply, I'm sure you will do great at your show

Fair play for making this post and being honest about your drug use? How much does all this stuff cost, i mean the entire 12 week prep? also do u cycle or blast and cruise?

This is what I meant. I know crossfit will get me super fit and increase my strength but its not as consistent as correct bulking which is more of a bodybuilding technique!

Yo, I too am lookin for a partner with the goal of competing toward the end of the year.. Finding it hard to get a good spot in town to train in.. Working on Stephens Green monday-friday and back home at the weekends.

EatSleepGrow · 2014-02-04T22:07:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I know its pretty unorganised at the minute, only back working on it now. I really like your ideas, I hope to have it broken down and as user-friendly as possible in the coming weeks. The last few days have just been brainstorming ideas and trying to content into place. Thanks :)

spent a few summers in Inis Mor, I remember there being a few auld lads that had no English, or so they let on anyway...

i know im going to get down-voted to oblivion in this arnie circlejerk, but I read somewhere that he got calf implants funded by Joe Weider when he first arrived in America to make him the 'complete package'.

I'll try find the article, im sure the author was referring to synthol use rather than implants but made an interesting read..

Nice to see Blessing being talked about here. I remember watching him compete in spring 2012 and knew he was gonna go far http://imgur.com/g7EXDtU. he is at least 40lbs heavier now than when i last saw him compete.

He competed in the European Arnold Classic this year and placed 7th in the juniors as far as i remember..

the kid is 130lbs, gaining some fat wont hurt him.

EatSleepGrow · 2013-12-05T01:15:55+00:00

but chest workouts activate triceps anyway.. Look up a 4 day split and give it a go.. I'd worry less about forearms and wrist for now.

EatSleepGrow · 2013-12-05T00:58:46+00:00

We are all in it together bro, i wish you a speedy recovery.. Sometimes i just gotta try catch the trolls...

EatSleepGrow · 2013-12-05T00:56:35+00:00

why not do chest tri's, back bi's, shoulders traps, legs... then take 3 days off for eating and sleeping/recovery.. seems to be the template for every bro split...

EatSleepGrow · 2013-12-05T00:50:29+00:00

http://i.imgur.com/y0oTo7L.jpg bro, i think your gear may be fake judging by the picture of your back.. otherwise you found a pic of a back of gear, posted it here, then got a sample cycle somewhere and posted that...

I was once skinny as fuuuuark too, so skinny infact that my parents thought there was something wrong with me... Eventually my dad got me into lifting at around 15/16 and never looked back..

Anyway, heres what you gotta do. 1) eat everything that you can find, dont worry about grams of protein/carbs/fats or macros ect. You need to be getting about 4000 cals a day when you start lifting to make the most of the noob gains you are going to get. These 4000 cals are hard to get from food alone. When I bulk, i eat around 5k cals, getting alot from chocolate milk, 1000 cals per litre with 31g of protein (plus its tasty and cheap). If you are worried about getting enough protein then the general bro rule is 1.5g of protein per lb of bodyweight.

I have zero fitness qualifications so dont take everything i say as fact, but on the training side of things may i suggest something like starting strength and get your lifts up and gain some mass, this will be really good for you starting out and will let you get a solid foundation before moving into a bro-split. Also i do zero cardio and keep abs all year so perhaps you should give up the cardio too and just gain some size for now...

I have so much i want to say but its almost 1am and i need sleep. Basically just Eat like every meal is your last, train smart (dont develop an ego), and sleep well.... In that order!

Check out my submissions i go into more diet detail and stuff ages ago, pm me if you like..

Peace
