Hey 4Rings,what was your age when you were in peak physical form?

i MIA'ed for 1 month+ due to exam le dude. now i'm back with training and all!

I hope to be in that shape when i reach 24!

4rings...any latest pics?

Isn't sex part of workout?

Added on June 9, 2008, 3:55 pmSorry man, currently out of shape.

This post has been edited by 4Rings: Jun 9 2008, 03:55 PM

i have been wondering. izzit true that people with long limbs finds it harder to pack on muscle?

I tot sex was one of the best exercises in terms of cardio?

Yeah, that's why Mr. Fantastic has no muscles.

Added on June 9, 2008, 5:14 pmGood for warming up before heading to gym.

I think it's due to too many egg yolks la.......just post la...I bet the mass is still there and given some time you will be ripped and lean like b4.

This post has been edited by yeeck: Jun 9 2008, 05:20 PM

ic. goddamn, no wonder my arms are growing so slowly especially my triceps. ive got really long limbs. long hands, long legs, long abdomen, long everything. lol.

That's why you see short guys have massive muscles after training for a short time.

yea. yea. yea. exactly. now we're on the same page man. also, that explains why there are alot of short bodybuilders out there.

Same with me.

You should check out brandon routh in superman returns, he's long like mr fantastic also. But he grown very big, real nice. I think it took a long time though.

i hate standing presses. anything to replace it? lol wut

yo yo guys... i wanna ask a very classic question.. i am not a member of any gym alreayd... my uni's gym also closed...

i am moving 2 a foreign country soon... dont think i can afford a gym there...

is it posible i build my whole body with just body weight?

so far i managed my upper part of my body with push ups and chin ups... ermm... i know middle section can do situps/'leg up" but havent try... btm legs calf and d rest can just sprint?

Machine press or dumbell press.

Added on June 9, 2008, 8:00 pmYeah, take up gymnastic.

This post has been edited by 4Rings: Jun 9 2008, 08:00 PM

Here's my progress pics. I wanna look good with a shirt on first btw.

Long Term Goal: Build Muscle and Burn Fat
Current Goal: Build Muscle

I'm pure ectomorph, gained 16 kg in 5 months, my height is 185cm / 6 feet 1 inch, 5 Months ago my weight is is 57kg, Now my weight is 74kg, 16% body fat (in the pic).





Note: In my after pictures, my deltoids are actually smaller in real life at that time, but I rolled up a small roll of tissue paper and inserted it on my deltoids during the time of the picture because I actually took the picture to see whether I need more deltoid workouts or not. Now my deltoids have grown bigger after I work on it more.

How comment when we can't see whats under your tshirt.

The only obvious thing is you are getting meatier from the arms

Added on June 9, 2008, 8:39 pmo.O see some chest development nice..

This post has been edited by metalfreak: Jun 9 2008, 08:39 PM

Standing presses aren't really a bodybuilding exercise. I feel that there are better ones for delts such as the seated version or as 4Rings suggested, dbs or machine. The Smith is pretty good for that too.

Lol thanks. it was 100% NO steroid gains btw. I didnt use real bodybuilding supplements either, just everyday milk, quaker oatmeal, some peanut butter and natural foods. And getting meatier is whats most important for me right now. No point taking off my shirt for now, cuz my muscles grew alot, and my body fat also grew alot, but since the fat layer is on top of the muscles, you won't really see much. I'll probably take off my shirt next year when I have gained even more muscle and able to do the cutting down on fats. For the time being I'm relieved that at least I can finally look normal at least after being a skeleton man since i was born Lol.

hmm... but with no equipemtns wor?

quads & calves = lunges, jump-squat, donkey raise, sprint


Chow

dude i guess so, it takes a lil longer than those who r shorter. but i guess once we get it, it will be more impressive. the hardwork should pay.

Try bodyweightculture.com or was it bwculture.com

They can do a myriad of things with just a playground.

M O N K E Y what are you talking about ?

aaahhh. you have the same problem as me. long limbs. but dude, you're waaaayyyyyy taller than me man. how tall are you anyway? yeah, basically its hard to grow, but once it grows, it REALLY grows.

you KNOW what im talking about, man! hahahahaha! weh, donkey, wer r u now? i wana go visit u someday. maybe a trip to anabolic or sumthing. must do it before my class starts.

183cm, wat to do , more muscle space therefore need more time to fill up. but sumhow my tummy grow faster than anything. Dam

A Picture Taken last weekend at a waterfall.



Need to burn more fat and some extra muscle mass ~!!

Yeah, there is religious issue in taking shirt off. I say it there cuz ppl there would understand why also. As muslims, for guys, we actually can't show our the area from our belly button to our knee to public especially random ppl on the internet. For girls, actually cannot show all parts except face and the palm area. So if I wanna take off my shirt right now, I'll have to cover up the belly button area by censoring it or cover it with smth, that means I can only show like probably half of my not visible abs and upwards. I also did state another reason right, its because I wanna look good with a shirt on first, thats my goal for now, you can ask darklight79, there is such a goal .

Plus for now if you see also you won't see much muscles, cuz got fat covering it. If you ask darklight also I'm sure he have ppl who tell him that that lean muscular model looked more muscular than him just because the model had low body fat but in reality actually darklight has more bigger muscles just that he have some fat covering it so you don't see the muscularity much. I think his goal is just to get as big as he can first isnt that right darklight?

You also should realize that I'm 6 feet 1 inch tall, and just like what Jamis and Registryeditor been talking about lately, I have a lot more filling up to do. With the fact that I was underweight, then I have even more filling up to do.



That's all you need to see . Got chest also what, you can see one, increase your monitor's contrast and brightness Cuz my goal is to look good with shirt on first, because I was underweight before this.

Despite the fat, your muscle is still well definsed. Where do u normally work-out? H0ow long have u been doing that? Am now looking for a centre too.

My back.


1985


1987


1989

Nice back 4rings! impressive

every body parts seems to be good on him:P
nice pictures 4rings!

I'm at california fitness. Been working out since 07's April ~!

Despite my sort of clean diet.. i;m still packing some fat. But my body weight hasn't change for the pass month and i;m seeing improvement in definition. I hope its a good thing..

its definitely a good thing. losing fat and building muscle at the same time! very good progress. keep it slow rather than rushing things up.. give it more time you'll lose your tummy for sure. keep it up!

Jones ~!

Thanks for the motivation.. I'm gonna continue with what i'm doin for the next 2 months and see how things go.

am planning to go there too.
how much is uur membership.

I'm paying about 107 per month for a platinum card. 2 years contract ~!

Actually what is the difference btw gold and platinium?
Can it be lowered abit?

wow, 4rings, i like ur lats man. hanging lats.

to be honest, i was checking the girl first, lol
nice tan btw

cover from the navel and below, no one wants to see under there....lol

4 rings...you're an ecto before?


Chow

yea, i was guessing the same thing. ecto+abitofmeso. still, impressive, man.

I was an ecto, not more than 120lbs b4 pumping iron.
I remember my upper arm was 11+ inch and my thigh was not more than 19". I built my right arm to 16 1/4" and left arm 16 3/4" after pump in 1989.
My quads were 24". Why was my left arm bigger than my right? My left arm was lagging behind then. I did extra set on my right bicep and ended up out- grown the right.

Dang, 4rings has nice backs.

This goes to show that ecto's can really shine. And hulkingly look awesome.

Forget situps, they are a waste of time and energy.

Get the e-book by Pavel tatsouline called the Naked Warrior
if you do these exercises you can build a fairly satisfactory body and be very strong to boot.
The one legged squat alone will build your abs and legs
my 10 yr old son is up to three reps on the one legged squat, which is pretty damn good to say the least. He does 3-4 sets everyday with five pushups, getting along very well.
read the instructions very carefully the tension he talks about during each set is fantastic for increasing strength.
