Hmm few more......

**cacti** · 08-14-2005, 06:35 PM

Looking better each time you post- (better quality camera helps too!)

**Dalton5** · 08-14-2005, 07:17 PM

this is an awkward thread

**IBdmfkr** · 08-14-2005, 09:28 PM

good progress so far, got rid of the belly, now concentrate on your diet and training. Your legs need work as well as your arms are lagging. Your chest and back look like strong points. I would do more squats, deadlifts, and military press for your shoulder development.. Overall good progress, keep it up and you'll look great.

**Jorg** · 08-14-2005, 10:32 PM

cacti: Thanks brother now only if you were a girl

JK

Dalton5: Care to explain your random post ?

IBdmfkr Hey IBdmfkr thanks for the heads up man I have been waiting for a critique post. I have come down with the flu and have missed 4 days training. Reading your post makes me want to hit the gym and kill the arms and quads

**IBdmfkr** · 08-15-2005, 03:31 AM

glad you didn't take offense, when I posted my pics thats the kinda response that really got me motivated, glad it could do the same for you. (I'm personally tired of people sugar coating critiques, doesn't help a thing) and remember to readup in the diet forum, diet is KEY.

**cacti** · 08-15-2005, 06:28 PM

I think a few people are reading way too much into my post

Keep it up, you're definitely moving forward.

Keep the comments coming

**IBdmfkr** · 08-16-2005, 06:58 PM

more squats and deads, they are essential.. upper can't reach its full potential if you don't bring your legs up with it. "do it"

I do them once a week atleast, I dead 300lb (no straps) and squat 280lb.
Are super sets ok with leg workouts? My arms, lats, abs, back are all worked doing super sets. So just wondering if the same principal can be used with legs? Anyone?

**dr.shred** · 08-17-2005, 08:52 PM

very nice progress bro, keep it up!

**IBdmfkr** · 08-18-2005, 12:43 AM

be sure to get deep into your squats for a full range of motion and to really tear the muscle. Yes you can superset legs, but if you have the time I would just say lift heavy and take the appropriate rest. lookin good though, just need some fine tuning.

**jesse_james** · 08-18-2005, 08:08 AM

thats good to see bro, keep it up!

**Jorg** · 08-27-2005, 09:59 PM

Thanks again fellas, should have a few more pics up after the w/end.
I'm getting annoyed with two things, my bench hasn't gained a pound in over 3 weeks and worse still I have only gained 7Lb in 2months. I have changed my diet several times over the 8 months training. I am currently 162lb
Chest: 42 Waist: 31 Bicep: 15 Quad 21 Calves: 15
I think it might be time to get lose on the juice

**IBdmfkr** · 08-28-2005, 02:40 AM

7 lbs in two months is very good. most people don't gain that in a year of natural training..(muscle that is).. with the bench every week force yourself to lift an extra 5 lbs on each side, set goals for yourself and make sure you hit them. helped me.

In 5 months I gained 24lb and in this passed 2-3 months I have upped my training and diet, and gains are slowing down faster than I thought. I will def try to up the bench every week. I have put 50lb on my bench in 6 months though the passed two weeks I have been missing a rep or two in my last set. It pisses me off cuz my training partner is as strong as an ox and makes the weight look easy

Remember bro..you are bobdybuilding, not powerlifting. Just concentrate on making a better phyique, and not so much on how much you can bench, or how someone has a better bench than you.

I hear you on that.... Its just always on the back of my mind though when doing chest. Anything else you guys can think of don't hesitate, recent pics should be up in the next few days

agree, but you will not grow unless you get stronger. And the other way around. Have you ever seen a bodybuilder that benches 135lbs and squats 200lbs, I havent unless they are a superlightweight.

Look here bro. That is not true at all.

My bench and squat has stayed the same over the past 2 years, and I have put on more size since then. If you get stronger along the way, well that's a plus, but it's not must to grow. Believe it or not? That's up to you.

Look here? Thats fine and dandy, get your diet back in check and slim back down then. More muscle = more strength unless you just aren't pushing yourself. Oh and check your waistline, might have grown too.

btw, goodluck in your upcoming comp.

Ok guys relax yesterday was chest/back/shoulders day and I mannaged a PB with my bench (198lb 1RM) and dead lift (322lb 1RM) and damn happy with those numbers.
Zapp, no doubting your knowledge with bb, your size speaks for itself you a monster, though I have to agree with IBdmfkr. I haven't experienced any gains in size without gains in strength.

That's cool Jorg. Glad to see your strength is coming along. When you guys get older, you will realize strength isn't everything. I am satisfied with 315 for reps the rest of my life, and I'll keep growing. You guys keep pushing for the numbers, and when you get injured, and out of the gym for 6 months, remember this post. Good luck to ya both!

My waisteline? Not pushing myself? Took this one last night. Waistline looks pretty good to me for being 8 1/2 weeks out.

Zapp as i mentioned before i don't doubt your knowledge/expiriances with bb thats why i chose my words carefuly not to seem like a punk who knows beter than someone who has been in training for 10X longer. The oposite happens with my arms !! I'm curling atleast 20lb more but no size gains at all my arms are still a tiny 15" pumped

edit: Zapp you should use that recent pic as your avatar..... Verry impressive
