Why the heck are you asking about this in the progress pic section??

Lol no I ain't angry. I'm just saying that you can ask this in the bb thread, not a thread meant for pics.

3 months is a short time but I assume you're still young and have very good potential. Keep at it. And try to understand that for some people, losing fat is an insane uphill task. But keep in mind bro, it is easier to lose bodyfat than to gain pure lean muscle mass.

I was a fat kid at Standard 5, can you imagine being 50kg at 11 years old? Lol.
Then I was a skinny kid at secondary school, 50kgs from 15-18 years old. Sigh.... the shit we went through.

Another thing, don't be afraid to eat dirty sometimes. You need it to kick start your metabolism at times. See your body adapts to the same kind of cardio, the same kind of weight training and the same amount of calories if done repeatedly. Which is why we sometimes shock the muscles during workout with heavier poundage, intensity extending techniques like drop sets, forced reps, negatives, etc. You get the idea.

I love you all. Can't we just like.... y'know.... get along? Y'know what I'm sayin dawg?

I'm beginning to think that you might be a hypochondriac.

You can't eat strict all the time. And you're not eating enough. You put on some mass but you can definitely do much better than that.

What vid? I posted a lot. Lol.

Lol.... stop bulking so aggressively.

They may work for you, but they won't work for everyone else. No matter how good form one does them, BTN pressing movements will never be anatomically suitable for certain individuals with limited shoulder girdle flexibility. Those people who have told you so could be the ones who know they aren't suitable for the exercise from prior experience.

It's not just about form, exercise selection is also important. Basic principle of bb'ing which Terry keeps driving home, listen to your body. I Smith shoulder press 100kg in front of the neck for more than 10 reps, no problem.

I injured my rotator cuff with just a light 40kg BTN movement, Smith, even with controlled slow form. Speaks a lot no?

You know i never exaggerate lifts cos I always back them up with a vid. I'm not saying they're not recommended. They're a very effective exercise for those with sufficient shoulder girdle flexibility. Not all exercises work for everyone. It could be you and LV have better girdle flexibility compared to most people. Do them if they work for you.

No you didn't. Your post was fine LV. I'm just cautioning those individuals which have the potential to seriously wreck their shoulder joints with that movements. I've known some people who have benefited immensely from BTN presses and pulldowns. The weird thing about me is BTN pulldowns work for me but BTN presses f*** up my shoulders.

And yes.... 40kg is "relatively" light for me. Who wants a vid me 100kg Smith presses this week? =P Need to find some fella there to take a vid tho'.

Lol actually bro I should. The last time we took the vid it was a lot less impressive. I was struggling to do just 5 reps of that weight, carrying more bodyfat, etc/ Now it's 10 reps kinda easy, much lower bf%. Problem is looking for someone to take it for me at True Fitness.

Btw, how're the eggs boiling now? 25 mins tops.

Lol why la? Even Terry said my pressing movements are naturally strong. We all have strengths and weaknesses.

Dunno if you mean me but mine is 120lbs per hand. I can do 15 x 4 now.

Nah, pedro took the vid for me. You can ask him.

Do you know why you're not as cut as you want to be bro? It's because you're overdoing it on the cardio. Lol. It burns away precious muscle which is responsible for your BMR. I've seen you doing those RPM classes at Ohm. The more lean muscle mass you have (not talking about huge muscles), the more fat you burn. The more lean muscle mass you burn (from all that useless RPM classes), the faster your gain of fat.

Thing is you have lost weight, but the bad thing is, a lot of your weight loss consisted of precious lean muscle.

Well when i last saw you quite sometime ago, you were getting reasonably lean, but now you seem to have gained some skinny fat. My guess is that you thought the more cardio you do, the faster you can lose that fat. Those RPM classes don't really amount much to anything bro. Prioritize, if you want more lean mass, weight training first then cardio, Reduce your frequency of that RPM to 2-3 times a week.

Let him la. Lol. It's probably a stomach vacuum. Most bb'ers pose like that.

Eggs are your best friend. Boil a lot and bring them along in a bag? If people like ken86 can do it, plus he's an engineer some more means you can too.
