    me

    ok ladies and gents. do your worst. I'm not worried if you want to have a go at me, I've got thick skin.
    I've been training 2 years. I had no concept of proper diet/lifting for the first 6 months so I made little progress.
    I'm 6'1 207 pounds.
    I know i need a tan.
    The areas I think I need to work on the most are :
    triceps
    rear delts
    calves
    I've managed to get my chest growing quite a bit recently. I know it is lagging behind the rest.

    Im natural. I've grown quite a lot in the last 3 months because I haven't been working so I've had nothing to do except eat and grow.

    pretty good man. still got a lot of growing to do but at least you're staying with it. as far as critiques go....you can improve very part. get that diet in check and you'll see loads of growth. good luck!

    OK i'm going to be the dick in this thread.

    just my 2 Cent

    deadlift- 330 pounds x 6 B.S
    bench press- 230 x 4 B.S
    squat- 300 x 6 Big B.S
    seated row- 260 x 6 No B.S
    leg press- 530 x 6 OK 530 is light.

    I think if you keep working had you will have a great build. Just need a few more years.

    I don't see why he would lie, there is nothing to gain out of trying to impress us with lying, especially since he's showing us his pics. Pictures usually are more of an impression or not than listing numbers and lifts.

    Dunno, doesn't matter either way because he's only lying to himself if it's not the truth. As long as he keeps working hard, that's all that matters.

    I can't say I blame anyone for doubting. I usually have to step onto a set of scales for people to believe me when I tell them how much I weigh, or lift x amount to show them I'm not kidding. Most people pick my weight as being around 85kg.

    any ideas as to which exercises would be best?
    I always start my shoulder workout with rear delts.
    They don't seem to respond like every other part of my body does. I think I'm using the wrong technique :S

    i like military db or bbell,rears are important cos they can be neglected,lateral raises might give you some more shape but compounds are best for mass.

    good luck H3

    one more thing,you could start with the heavy compounds first then finish with the iso's.

    yeh helium I was thinking military presses might be best.
    I was a bit cautious about doing that because I don't want my front delts to overpower my side and rear delts.
