Hi everyone, heres some pix!

[britbb]

Hi everyone on AR.com from london in uk here.

I signed up to this forum a while ago but never really posted at all, so im just putting some pics up and gonna start posting regularly as it looks like av good community with some v nice people/competitors on. I mainly post on the uk boards but like to view the us boards aswell and now want to participate.

Hopefully i can give good advice and maybe learn a thing or two aswell as having some good conversation

Heres a few pics of me, im 16 stone 8 at 5ft 10 in the pics and stats are:

Chest: 52 inch
Arms: 20.5 inch
waist: 30 inch
neck: 18 inch
legs: 26 inch
calves: 18.5 inch

Im really annoyed because i took some really good pics on my phone, lots of full body pics in the gym and some fuker stole my phone

Im bulking up at the moment and currently am around 280 lbs off season, and will bulk till feb/march time and then start dieting for some shows.

[britbb]

Forgot to post the pics of me at 248.

[britbb]

Thanx everyone for the warm and friendly welcome. Thankyou for the compliments.

Swifto, is this the same name you have on mt.co.uk or do you use a different one? Ive probably spoke to you before on there, been busy on there before but its taken a move in a different direction away from bodybuilding which is annoying because you get more and more of the 'pub lads' coming on and ruining the atmosphere. My journal is running over there though and i want to keep it running, there are some good guys there aswell.

This site seems to have much more knowledge about bodybuilding though in respect to competition, ive been reading through the contest prep posts and there is some great advice, this is the type of stuff that is v useful and shows who is helpful and really knows their stuff.

Erm, to answer a few q's, i have been training for 7.5 years now and just turned 25 years old. I dont really know how many cycles ive ran because i havent counted, i started aas after i trained just over 3 years naturally, was 21 when i started and ive been doing quite a few low dose and low duration cycles in that time...generally i cycle 6-8 weeks and then take 6 weeks off. Ive tried doing 10 week cycles and 12 week ones aswell and dont find them effective for me...its all about the way that the aas work for your own body.

With some people they might find sustanon an exceptional aas and feel next to no pain and no flu like symptons and great gains...lol but with me sust is a bloody nightmare, i get the temperature and sh*tty feeling about 2 hous after the jab (and this lasts for 2 weeks until that stuff really gets into my system) and the pain i get from the ba content in the sust totally fuks me up, i can hardly move my quads and walk without really bad pain...because of this i dont use sust needless to say lol.

So find what works for your own body and stick with it. Everyone is different.

This goes with training aswell, find what works best for you...do 2-3 different styles and a few types of routines over a few years and spend 4-6 months on each then you can monitor progress and adapt to what works best for the individual, bodybuilding is a lifelong hobby/lifestyle/sport etc which is very long term, no real results happen overnight and anything that seems to be a result that comes v quickly is only temporary.

I like to train with quite high sets and high reps but i will go for a heavy set generally speaking every exercise...to pick a weight i feel is heavy and churn out 8 reps...maybe if im going to increase the weight to a pb then i'll attempt 6 instead... but generlly speaking 6 reps is the minimum.

When i train i like to really feel my muscles working, try to feel the mind muscle connection...i believe that this is one of the keys to growth (but cant prove it lol) but i figure a lot of guys think the same way.

Hope that answers some questions, take care.

Yeah...I'm Swifto on there but dont post that often.

Good to have you here.

[Ajc330]

can we say next ifbb pro? hehe

[eacman65]

welcome, you look insane man good work

[Dog-Slime]

Whats your preffered gear in these short 6-8 week cycles?

[paulzane]

Welcome britbb ....let's hope you enjoy it here ... you look awsome!!

[britbb]

Thanx guys for the compliments.

A few more questions answered:

When i go on gear i like to use test mainly, ussually 2 compounds and i dont go over 2 compounds, like to keep things simple. Ive recently upped my dose of aas use (after these photos were taken) so that i can really try to add as much mass as possible in time for march when i will start my contest prep (probably around 18 weeks, but not all dieting lol) and enter a few contests, if i qualify then can compete in the british title first but you have to win your class or place top 2 (maybe top 3 in a v big contest) to qualify, so we'll see.

Examples are test e and dbol...i'll just do 1g test e for 7 weeks and start off with 60mg dbol for first 4 weeks, then i'll take 2 weeks off (bridging with dbol at 30mg per day) and then onto pct for 3 weeks followed by 3 more weeks off gear and then back on again for another 7 weeks.

Thats the type of cycle i do. I find that if you come off for too long (and ive tried this before) then you just end up losing all the motivation, the lifts might go down a little bit but not much but i just feel so chilled out that i cant be bothered training much and dont enjoy the training in the gym either.

Ive used gh before to diet and recomend it however it is expensive, i used jintropin at 5 iu per day. V good stuff i think but when you have to buy 5 kits to diet for 14 or so weeks, it costs silly money for what it is really. Id only use gh when dieting for a show otherwise its not v effective per the cost of it.

Try to keep it simple in off season with simple aas, no more than 2 compounds at a time and focus on DIET AND NUTRITION because they are 90% of the game.

The way i see it is that anyone can train, anyone can inject gear, anyone can sleep a lot...but:

Not anyone can train 100% regardless of what the world throws at them.
Not everyone can eat more dry chicken breasts, dry tuna fish, raw porridge oats etc till the point they wanna puke AND then eat more and more of them aswell washed down with water which stops themselves from bringing it back up.

Those 2 last things are what seperate the regular gym goers from the BODYBUILDERS in my opinion. The bodybuilder is the one who will put the extra effort in and go the extra mile at all times and has a force guiding him to do it...it comes from deep inside...the feeling to be a REAL MAN haha lol...not a lil p*ssy emo punk soft bodied boy

You must know what i mean right?

I dont always stay on testosterone though, i like to take some deca cycles to give myself a break from test and also to lubricate joints and to avoid any injury...give my body time to adapt to the new strength/size that ive gained...so every now and again i might take slightly more time off gear and then do a deca dbol cycle.

Main thing is to keep it simple and keep it low dose, use only the minimum dose needed to gain and make sure diet and nutrition are the factors of growth...when you start relying on the gear to grow thats when problems start arising, you over complicate things. You start thinking more gear = better gains, but this is not true at all, more gear = more side effects, is the truth lol. I always try to exhaust the amount of muscle i can gain per dose of aas before i increase the dose...this way i know im making the maximum amount of gains per dose. It will take more time doing it this way but bodybuilding is a long haul, its a lifestyle...id rather use sensibly and be in it for the long haul than use erratically and be forced to quit or have set backs all the time with health problems. Thats why i recomend low dose cycles.

How is your libido when you run the deca/dbol cycle? I like your theory on short cycles.

[britbb]

How is your libido when you run the deca/dbol cycle? I like your theory on short cycles.

Libido wasnt good, but it was bearable only because i was focussed on training though lol, i only run 600mg deca (8 weeks) and 60mg dbol (first 5 weeks) when i did that cycle.

Pmsl, i remember i did a cycle just like that after these pix were taken (this was back in february), i also just moved to a different part of the uk for a while and i met a sexy milf lol, she had also done some porn, really nice women...i remember in bed whilst having sex i was sweating like a pig lol and couldnt get properly hard

Dont know what it was with that stuff but i was sweating so much lol, she said she liked it but i felt like a fool...then there was me trying to make excuses for why i couldnt get proper hard, talking about the condom and how im allergic to them etc etc, in the end i had to tell her about the aas and she totally understood because she says she 'knows' other bodybuilders aswell lol.

Sex drive was definately not good but i didnt really care because i was more focussed on my training.

[Brent_G]

lol at that story. Your dedication is paying off. You look great. Your arms are def looking good.

[BIG F'ING D]

hi brit hows the forarm?

[stocky121]

your looking in great shape mate props

[malidfa]

''massive'' good job keep up the hard work

[britbb]

hi brit hows the forarm?

Is this bigd from mt?

Yeah its fine now mate...i took 4 days off training and also am not training back or arms this week, it feels totally fine. Id rather take off a few days and/or a week from back or bicep work to make sure i wont get a serious injury.

My bodybuilding is extremely important to me, i have a lot of my life invested into it and im banking on it, its the only shot ive got and my only chance at doing what i really want to do...so im not prepared to gamble that chance by being silly and training (when i want to) but my body tells me to rest a bit...maybe im being very cautious but i am only protecting myself because i know how i will feel if i got badly injured, id feel suicidal and dont want that to happen at any cost.

Good to see you here mate, this board looks brilliant doesnt it?
