guess i should contribute too, nothing to shout about though

I think your form's fine, man. Though I wanna get your opinion on side laterals. I read somewhere that leaning forward slightly or having your chest supported on a high incline bench while doing the raises recruits the medial delts more, but obviously less weight can be used. Thoughts?

I did lateral raises with dumbbells both chest supported and unsupported, I couldn't feel much difference except the chest supported ones were obviously harder and I had to drop the weight.

Though, I've moved on to cable lateral raises now. I feel I get a better contraction with them.

My bf trains in the same gym as we do, just at different and very irregular times. Furthermore we train very differently and have different principles. Thats why we don't train together. We weren't even signed up in the same gym until recently.

nah I think it just looks big on pic but it is bigger than my old pic so yeah.
I saw your previous pic, and you're right it is something like Dan. But IMO your legs are bigger
Supplementation helped me quite a lot.

Lol Dan alike

Imo he has the bodytype like alphaproject. The guy has ben mia from heere for quite a while

Not everyone is my size. But there is other who are your size who done calisthenics who are lot stronger than you or me. It is not about size, it is about strength-bodyweight ratio. Calisthenics is not related to guy my size alone and there are guy who is big enough who really a monster in calisthenics. But calisthenics is not the discussion here. It is about strength and bodybuilding. I find it whether training to do deadlift or do one arm push up or pistol or iron cross or full squat or overhead press or anything... it is the same. It is an expression of strength.

I'm not interested in getting good at bench press. But I'm interested to monitor the numbers you pushing/pulling so that I can roughly compare how strong you guys are compared to others. I see lot of fine body over here... and lots of judgement being made... for me, I'm just interested to know, how strong you are who giving advice compared to others.

Other things I'm interested is that how you guys judge ones body. Sometimes there is a shoulder, but you guys say need more shoulder la... things like that. Posted a picture of mine, so mikehuan, why not post a picture of yours and compare to me... point to me what kind of muscle are you looking. Let say if I'm an aspired bodybuilder... what kind of advice would you give? I've been intrigued by this question about my own body quite a while...

Before serious training


recent

Walau....all damn geng...i very shy to post liao...nvm...must be brave...this year i must settle this new year resolution once and for all!

any advice guys?   thanks in advance    

Thx guys... but i still have a long way to go. Look on the bright side, if I can get results like this in 4 years of half assed training, you guys can do better =)

Just back from a half assed leg workout. Been slacking off legs for a while now, and after just some leg extensions, curls, and leg presses I felt like puking and went home haha...

Full stack for extensions and curls at the gym (not that heavy), presses went  maximum 360kg x 8 x 1, 340kg x 12 x 3.

Need to get back to working on the outer sweep, damn small compared to ismadi

Oh wait... this isn't my workout journal, sorry! Pics only next time.

+1. Lol i unloaded one side n i was so dizzy from my last set i snuck off hoping no one would notice but too bad the gym owner was too observant lolll... At least he helped me out with d rest.

Got difference? Been bulking up for a year last 3months only clean bulk thou. Alot says i'm buffer since starting school, tummy reduce very little only ._.
Gonna take supplements after CNY? Any reco for my body condition now? Use to be real skinny

I'm turning 21 this year... started after SPM.

As for my diet, I eat pretty much like darklight, only less. Seriously a lot of junk... not too dependent on supplements nowadays, just taking ard 4 scoops of whey a day.

Training routine is also not really set, I'm just about to finish my semester's exams so training has been cut down a lot this couple of weeks. But will be back to 4-5 days a week after this.

Shoulder routine- Dumbbell, smith, arnold presses (rotate as i like weekly), some dumbbell/cable raises, and finish with anterior delt raises.

Back- almost everything... except deadlifts. I feel that its making my traps way too big. I don't know how to tell you my routine as its pretty much flexible and going by feel. And by that I don't mean I laze off. Reps are pretty much 8-15. Around 4 sets average per exercise.

Taking advice given formerly by darkie, if you're not feeling the exercise on that day, stop doing it and move on to another...

rear delts= anterior delts? No squats today, some uncle was hogging the rack doing military presses and my face was really pale. Good also la, I have a paper tomorrow so come back to study earlier lol.

Back day  tomorrow jeng jeng jeng... I'll try to do some 100lb dumbbell row working sets. It would be nicer with a training partner, gets boring...

Looking huge also man. I think you're way wider than me. +100
