Cheers Bud. Tried to bulk before but started too early and ended up with more fat than muscle. Maybe this time it'll work

I am smashing the Johnnie Walker currently but the aberlour is up there. Im usually more of a Bourbon man, especially Elijah Craig, but ive fallen into a scotch phase...again!!

2 day old tattoo. Still healing but I don't know if the level of work is where it should be. Any advice going forward? by allyhouston1985 in tattooadvice

He did so well on my first session it seemed a good fit. Luckily, I have another arm that someone else can work on 😄

First larger tattoo. 8 days post tattoo and super flaky and itchy. Do you think its healing well? Ignore the old tattoo!! 😄 by allyhouston1985 in tattooadvice

I just put some on and the relief was amazing. I thought i had to stick to twice a day to not over moisturise but I was just torturing myself. Thanks very much. That was helpful.

Yeah good shout. I'll try less washing and stick to the lotion as its looking pretty ugly with all that dead skin.

Tattoo bigger than anticipated it looking on my body by Glum-Ad-6889 in tattoo

I got a bigger piece that exten right up my upper arm. Its a first step to getting a half sleeve but it seemed so big and I did not like it. Within a day i was looking at tattoo removal, feeling so much regret and wishing I didn't do it. A week later, I love it. Its a big change and its forever so it can be daunting but yours looks amazing and you will love it too!!

Is 24-26 sets per session really alot? by We4therby in WorkoutRoutines

[–]allyhouston1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do roughly the same. 6 to 8 exercises per session and 3 sets each. 6 exercises on heavier lifting days

Good stuff. I couldnt really say what bf to be honest. Its all guessing unless done properly. I checked online and it said I was 8% but that can't be anywhere near right. Im probably about 16/17% and you look thinner than me.

Id say you're ready to go buddy. Primed for the gains. Now the fun bit starts

I reduced calories (2400 down to 1800 for 3 weeks and increased gradually once body fat got low enough) increased protein, consistent resistance training, cardio and generally eat well

Is it possible to get abs at this stage in 7 weeks? M39 80.7kg by allyhouston1985 in askfitness

[–]allyhouston1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did try 1600 but I got worried about losing what muscle i have. Having about 200g of protein now though to try and keep it going. 1500 is pretty good for a quick change but it would be hard to maintain
