Florian... ur arms are almost like that as well. =.=

Envy your shoulder..

darkie, i was wondering, how much do you spend on food alone?sonce u mentioned u went on for 4 mths without carbs?do u cook ur own food?hmm,i trying to cut down my carbs intakes..i don't intend to let carbs out from my diet coz i'll be sleepy and sloppy all day long...

anyway, i gotta agree with you..now days ppl tend to go for how much we're lifting instead of concentrating on form. to be honest, i'm not the strongest when it comes to weights,which in a way, kinda worries me, coz i read a lot and they say that you gotta play heavy in order for you to gain more muscle.can u give me some advice?

do u need info on my diet?maybe coz of my food intake that's why i've not been making good progress.

Form & technique are more important that the amount of weights you are carrying.

30% workout
30% diet
30% rest
10% genetic and etc

yeah, couldn't agree with u more..thing is,when it comes to diet,can really make me go broke la..dat's why i'm looking for other options on how to minimise it..coz i tend to get hungry very quickly..don't know why..and no,i'm not the ecto morph..i think i'm the middle type of body..couldn't remember what d term stands for..

re you sure genetic only 10% =.=

Sorry, when it comes to professional bodybuilding, it's 97% genetics and 3% the rest. Heh. But yes, form is important and underrated.

Added on April 1, 2010, 12:06 pmYeah I cook my own food. I'll tell you something bro, eggs are your best friend. Don't avoid carbs like what i did. It's a very fine balancing thing i did.

Try not to eat carbs 4 hours before bedtime because growth hormone is produced in your body when you sleep and glucose is an antagonist to growth hormone. Therefore i take only fat and protein before i sleep, egg whites and yolks.

u wont wanna know how many eggs darkie eat per day. =.=
muahahahahha

Tried on low carbs diet last few months (100g max a day for breakfast and postworkout) and subsitute the rest with fats, and protein, for muscle gaining, it is not a very good choice thou.... hardly gain any muscle. Now i swap my cutting diet to carbs cycle, it seems like it works better, in terms of energy and progress. Aft my cutting phase, will use the same diet plan for bulking, just to jack up the calories

We aint professional are we? It's easy to blame everything to genetic. IF someone is fat, blame genetic. IF someone is small, blame genetic. You can say not everyone can have body like Charles Atlas, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger but its not difficult to have body like the movie stars (eg. hugh jackman)
Well amateur bodybuilding is
30% workout - good routine, form and etc
30% diet - balance diet, supplement,
30% rest - over train is no good, sleep is important
10% etc - genetic

Simple rule no carb after 8 pm.

wow,u cook..man, if i'm not mistaken u did mentioned somewhere dat u only manage to get around 4 hrs of sleep rite?does it affect ur performance while lifting?hmm,if dats d case, i need to minimise or change my carbs la then. btw, on eggs,how many egg yolks do u recommend. some say not mroe than 4. to many info to digest, i'd rathe listen to someone who've already tried em.

but darkie, when u say 97% geentics, are u sure?coz i thought those ifbb guys got to become freak is due to well, they say got some steroids and many stuffs.i don't know, maybe i'm still newbie dats why i get a load of rubbish info's. oh, and last, how long do u spend in d gym and do u often to stick to certain routine, or u constantly change them?

... genetic i agree, i met one of the guy... huge and tall then i ask hows his diet.. he said he dun care about tat, still eat chapati like nobody's business and he said he dun believe in cutting and bulking and he got solid abs, 17inch arms =.= wat the heck

i agree.
i see most of the blacks have good genetic.
they are blessed with great physique.

hello, 1 question



I don't get what that mean. Can someone please explain? Thank you

performing stiff leg deadlift huh?

Pull shoulders back slightly at top of lift if rounded. Repeat.



i assume pull your shoulder blade like the pic.but not so much like the pic, chest up, pull shoulder blade

So carbing up has filled up my muscles within jsut a few days. Chest and arms seem fuller. It's a random pic taken a while ago at Sheraton Imperial KL after dinner but the results are there thank goodness. Was getting so flat. Not flexing mind you, just relaxed pose sorry.
