Thanks man
Oh, actually, the reason is because I took the before photo after a back workout and the after photo cold and unpumped. So, who knows how much bigger it could look like pumped?biggrin.gif

Let's find out!

But seriously, great job man.

Here's something from Poliquin which I've seen work very well with a lot of clients. He has this BioSignature course and they calculate various things such as your skin fold, stress levels, saliva, blablabla all of which we don't have access to. And he says, it's possible to target specific areas of fat (meaning, spot reduction) but it ISN'T by exercise.

It's by controlling your hormones, with supplements and rest and certain dietary changes. YES, Poliquin can speak controversial things/sometimes even retarded, but I think this is true.

It seems that you've a slight problem with belly fat/love handles. This is, according to Coach P, caused by cortisol and insulin. Here are a few steps to reduce that.

I'm not sure if you can get supplements like that here, and in two weeks, I think cutting your simple carbs and sugars (as you're probably already doing) would likely be the best way. Just thought it'd be something cool to share.

Hey I've seen that guy at 2.41 with the long hair. He used to do weightlifting but bombed out last year in the national games. He'd probably be better as a strongman anyway.

i think they both hv pros and cons. to me....

treadmill pros - absorbs shock, less strain on knees, can adjust incline, can workout in aircon room (for those who like it), u can monitor ur running speed/degree of incline and track progress easily, can workout regardless rain or shine.
cons - boring cos ur always in the same place, can get demotivating and tiring, time passes slowly

outdoor running pros - change of scenery, time passes more quickly, less boring
cons - impact on knees and joints, risk of getting caught in the rain, bad weather, hot sun

and i tend to be ambitious and run toooooooo far.... pancit somewhere and take AGES to come home LOL!!! *limp limp limp*  tongue.gif

i switch it up to make things interesting. but more often i will be choosing the treadmill or crosstrainer since i spend most of my day in the gym where i work... more convenient to just hop on one of the machines during off-peak.

Okay, though I don' usually run...I did coach at Pushmore and learned the POSErunning method. It's basically a technique where "cycle" while running. What this does is it reduces significantly the impact of running because there is no deceleration phase and thus the joints do not have to go through the constant thudding and thumping. It's just a "pull pull pull" method. It's a good technique to learn though can be a lil tiring on the calves at the beginning.

This was when all I did for my biceps were front squats, pull-ups, chin-ups and rows. Now that I've added bench presses and overhead presses, I'm hoping they'll grow slightly bigger.

I know measurements aren't all that big a deal for you (or are they?), but what're we looking at here? Heh.

I think....the left's 12.5" and the right's 13". The only reason they look like they're big is because of the lighting and that I was doing some barbell complexes after my workouts, so I managed to shave some fat off.

I think I took this shot in......like August? It was about 3-4 days before my graduation. My mom was fooling with the hat, so I took it and gave her that pose. She laughed saying I'll never make it as a lecturer. Ever. Yeah, that's why I'm a trainer mommy.
