so just curious, tis been 3 months since u started ur routine... any noticeable improvement?!?

saw the pics you posted in the bod measurement thread.. honestly tot u'd be bigger with the weights u doin.. i guess tis more in increased in strength??

his diet, isn't very proper.

at least hes trying...as long u got try and consistent youll reach there..i have respect for ppl that tries and wanna achieve..dont be sceptical..its not as easy as people think it is...i think bodybuilding is 1 of the hardest sports..so joey...keep it up and if u need any help at all..dont be shy to ask..

fat turning into muscle for now, so no noticable gains

yep. I still need help in that department. I cant seem to force myself to eat tuna >_< and I need more $$$ for whey powder. Should I start a "buy whey for joey fund"? nah.

I'm positive that once I get whey I'll grow huge....for now I'm building up my core muscles..

hey do ur poundages include the bar?

joey...whey wont help u grow..whey will help u recover..it doesnt really help..and also fat dont turn into mucsle...food help u to grow. u need to know ur basics to improve..and to build ur core muscles..try doing more compound exercises

most of them no, unless stated. easier to just read the plates

yea I know fat dosent turn to muscle, its just a shorter and easier way of saying that I'm burning fat and building muscle at the same time. My soft chubby spots have been thinning, and underneath them is a layer of hard muscle. They used to be bone.

yea I've been trying to add dips to my workouts, and pushups/situps/crunches/weightless squats on offdays. the improvement cannot be seen but can be felt.

good stuff...and 1 tip..try increasing ur weight every set...

i am doing that right now.

told u to eat more meat d lo....
the job u have right, u might as well use the money you get outta it to buy tuna, chicken or fishies than the whey and all la frankly.

think i can reach 80Kg's by camp this dec? Let's c ah, ghehe....maybe this time i do the real "coyote ugly" thing

I'll try to eat more meat even tho I hate meat. Will take time to adjust tho. And pimples! I donwanna pimples!

lol if you can, I wanna see you strip dance to sexyback in the camp. XD I'll bring the song. I'm going to hit 80kg soon. current stable weight = 79kg XD (used to be 76)

You better hide coz I think darklight will eat you alive for that comment. Go for eggwhites, meat and HL milk. Hard boiled eggs. Cheap and easy to prepare.

how do you add 10/20 kg depending on the bar????

i think he isnt sure bout the bar's weight

olympic bar = 20kg

the shorter one is 12.5kg

well, only 2 straight barbells in my gyms

I'll take the shorter one. Mine's a hardcore gym so the bars look...ghetto

You use the shorter bar for which excercise?

Currently I use the olympic bar for all my excercise. I'm on rippetoe too.

Failed my millitary press last workout. So sad and really pissed off! Gotta reset 5-10kg perhaps, and work it from there. Was doing total of 42.5kg.

Hmmm, maybe i should start a journal too.

yes you should

those bloomin olympic bars are really hard to stabilize. it takes some getting used to and really feels weird.
