Hey guys,

Checking in for the third and final time this week after a big arms and shoulders day to finish off the week.

Definitely seeing more thickness in the shoulders and definition in the biceps which is the kind of progression I love to see. I think the combination of introducing cable curls for biceps and the lateral raise machine (that’s been available at my new gym) as opposed to DB raises is going to help me continue this rate of growth as both of these variations feel like the muscle is getting more isolated which is evident in the progress pics.

Tomorrow I’ll be taking the day off or perhaps hitting legs before another workout on Tuesday.

See a post workout pic below.

Cheers guys

Hey guys, reporting to you after yesterdays workout for the first time this week.

I woke up pretty early so I had some extra time to work with and pretty much hit everything just because I had the option, and got to experiment with some new movements too like overhead tricep extensions and skull crushers for example.

I’m not too sure if I’ll keep the skull crushers in the rotation, however the overhead tricep extension really got a good stretch on the muscle and so I think in addition to the regular tricep extension, I’m gonna keep this one in for sure.

In addition to this, I did weigh in at 116kg yesterday morning which is pretty impressive given my BF%. My initial goal is 120kg with abs which sounds crazy but is actually within reach now so I am super stoked about that.

The nutrition aspect has been pretty crazy too. I am probably eating about 5000 calories a day and not gaining any body fat which is like a dream come true for me because I’ve always loved my food so overall all is going well!

See a post workout pic below and see you next time :)

How many meals do you spread this across?

Whats your favourite go to meal?
Honestly probably 8-10 meals a day and because food is so expensive a lot of it is the pre made penne bolognese from Woolworths for $5 each. I also spam the Rokeby protein shakes for 30g protein each, YoPro yoghurt and my muscle chef meals

Hey guys, checking in for the second time this week after Thursdays workout. Been pretty busy the last couple days so that’s why I’m getting back a couple days late but I should be in the gym tomorrow and will have a blog up tomorrow as well if that’s the case.

Definitely still going strong on all my lifts with progression staying at a consistent, yet amazingly high rate. The strength and size gains are coming along rapidly and every session there is at least one instance in a set where I go ‘holy shit I can’t believe I just did that.’

Given that I would like to bring up my chest a bit more as it’s not as developed as the rest of my upper body, I am considering adjusting my current training split to incorporate an extra chest workout per week. Speaking of which, if any specific movement/exercise isolates the upper chest really well that you guys know about definitely let me know!

Tomorrow I’ll likely be hitting legs and finishing off with some biceps and will be sure to throw up a log showing the progress!

Cheers guys and see a post workout pic below :)

Do you find you hit enough protien for your body mass? Cause your a big boy be looking at well over 300g per day yeah?

For sure I definitely get that. Post workout I’ll do 2 shakes (60g protein) and then a tub of YoPro breakfast (60g protein) and throughout the day all my other meals and another one or two shakes will definitely get me over the line. The guys at work are always gobsmacked at the amount of food I go through 🤣

Yeah 5000 is a lot of calories
I am only on 2400 most days and feel as if I am always eating

Hey guys, checking in for the last time this week after an incredibly powerful workout this morning.

Absolutely annihilated arms today and it turns out I’ve Maxxed out the bicep curl machine at my gym (100kg) which I’m super stoked about. I think I might be pretty much there on the tricep extension machine too so it will be interesting to see how that goes in my next workout on Tuesday.

Aesthetically I’ve noticed a lot more thickening in the shoulders which I attribute not just to training hard, but also because of introducing the overhead tricep extension which hits the upper shoulder a lot too and I’m seeing results already.

Despite the overall size gains, I am leaning out slowly but surely. On one hand I know for a fact I’ll reach my goal of 120g with abs so I have peace of mind, but on the other hand I also don’t want to wait any longer so there is a bit of a mental war at play.

With this being said, I know I just have to keep doing what I’m doing, trusting the process, and everything will be achieved.

Overall I’m super grateful for the path I am on and a massive thank you to @gearmaniac101 for supporting me on this journey and transforming my life. I am confident I will have some mind blowing progress pictures throughout this year.

Given that today was so intense, I’ll definitely be taking tomorrow off and perhaps even Tuesday but I’ll have to re evaluate tomorrow night and see where I’m at. I know growth happens out the gym, so ensuring adequate recovery is paramount.

See a progress pic below.

Cheers guys

Hitting 100kg on the bicep curls is pretty bloody impressive. I would move on to using a straight barbell or the curved one next.

Best motivation is when you know you're getting bigger and stronger. Does wonders for the confidence, just remember to take rest days, you need it to recover and grow.

Big results 💪

You should consider breaking up your bulk with a mini cut. It keeps body fat in check and makes gains more defined. Something to consider?

Thank you bro for the compliment and advice! I appreciate it :)

Hey guys, checking in today after a big full body session with a mind blowing pump and crazy gains!

For starters, I used the lateral raise machine and honestly I can’t remember what weight I ended on but I felt like I was just increasing and increasing and I could still manage! My shoulders are getting pretty ridiculous now and I definitely feel it in my lifts.

The biceps and triceps are coming a long too but the biggest changes in my physique now would have to be my chest. I have been putting more of a focus on it, however in addition to that, I think leaning out a bit has been a game changer in making the chest look more muscular. At this point I’m just waiting for the abs to come in which shouldn’t be much longer!

Tomorrow I have a 2 hour morning BJJ session which I’ll report back to you guys about in terms of my cardio as I think my cardio has suffered at a bigger body weight (117kg) so hopefully all goes well.

See a post workout pic below.

Cheers,
Adam

Hey guys,

Reporting back today from a hard and intense BJJ workout this morning. Honestly the cardio was ok but I definitely feel it has dipped as my body weight has been increasing.

I do plan on stacking more size on though, so if any of you guys know of some good PED/supplements to improve cardio definitely let me know!

Overall though I’m feeling good and strong and look forward to a well deserved rest day tomorrow before the last weight session of the week on Sunday. Post workout pic is gonna go crazy then!

I’m inching my way closer to my first goal of 120kg with abs and I’m really confident I can hit it within 6-8 more weeks. Every workout is just one more session closer to the goal and that mindset has been carrying me through some crazy ass sets!

I’ll be back Sunday to let you know how it goes.

Cheers guys

Hey guys,

Checking in for the third and final time this week after an explosive full body session this morning.

As I often say it feels like my whole body is blowing up (in a good way) and the progress pics definitely back that up!

I did see someone in the gym using the double-rope attachment and adjusting the level of it to be pretty far down, and then pulling the attachment up for a bicep exercise.

I tried it out myself and I got an explosive pump - I’m still not sure if I prefer this variation over the cables but it was definitely worth my while and the arms were looking pretty damn good afterward!

I have also completely moved away from DB lateral raises at this point, as I have started using the lateral raise machine and the difference in the isolation of the muscle is night and day. I feel like for much less effort, I can get way more out each day on the lateral raise machine than with DBs as it keeps your form tight.

Tomorrow will definitely be a much needed rest day and I’ll evaluate them if Ill be hitting the weights again on Tuesday or perhaps even Wednesday as the body is gonna need some time to rest up after today that’s for sure.

See a post workout pic below :)

Cheers guys

Hey guys,

Checking in for the first time this week after a big session on Tuesday where I trained full body.

Honestly not my best session as I didn’t have a usual pre workout meal which affected my energy levels but I still managed a decent session none the less.

It’s also a good reminder for me going forward to always ensure I have adequate time to get my meal in.

I had a great pump but due to energy levels I didn’t progress in any lifts, however I’ll be smashing the weights tomorrow and I’ll be sure to let you guys know how it goes.

Tomorrow will be back and arms and then Sunday will be shoulders and chest and I’ll be reporting back on each of those too.

I have also been on track nutrition wise which is good as I’ve been getting the necessary meals in, but the people in the office are mesmerized I can eat so much and not get fat. I have tren to thank for that but it does amuse me how much you can get away with when on it. Super happy I haven’t been getting any sides on it so i can keep staying on it.

See a post workout pic below

Cheers guys

Hey guys, checking in after a chest and triceps session yesterday.

The triceps have definitely had some significant growth as of late given that I’ve kept the standard tricep push down, but also added the overhead tricep extension which gives a completely different type of burn to the tricep as well as some of the delta too.

The chest is also coming along nicely, especially as I’m leaning out abit. The definition is becoming more and more noticeable. My go to for chest right now is the standard chest press machine as I can be a bit lazy and I like the convenience of a pin loaded exercise rather than plate loaded. I also find that it really isolates the upper chest which is a priority of mine so it’s a no brainer that I got 3-4 hard sets of it in.

I also have been incorporating cable flys which give a completely different stretch to the pectoral muscles. Especially when you do a static hold you feel a proper burn and it’s great for mind muscle connection. I definitely feel like the incorporation of the cable fly has been pivotal in my overall chest development.

Tomorrow I’ll be hitting legs to finish the week off strong, probably with a quick bicep finisher to have a pump for the rest of the day and will report back then.

See a post workout pic below.

Cheers

Hey guys,

Checking in for the third and final time this week after a brutal leg day and a bicep finisher to end of the week.

I really made sure to go all out on the leg machines and Im pretty damn fatigued and will likely take the next couple days off to recover. Im walking pretty stuff right now as the hamstrings got a hell of a lot of work today!

Biceps ended up full and pumped as I hit a few sets of pace pulls toward the end of the workout to have a pump the rest of the day, and as biceps are one of the smaller muscle groups, you can afford to hit them a few times a week as they recover relatively fast.

See a post workout pic below and see you all next week!

Hey guys,

Checking in for the first time this week after some arms and shoulders this morning.

Really getting great progression on the lateral raise machine, I definitely think I can max it out within a few more months, and all my other lifts are progressing at a solid rate too.

Especially as I am getting slightly leaner week by week, the physique is developing both because I’m gaining lean mass but losing fat too.

I’ll be going overseas for a couple of weeks next Sunday, so getting to look my best on my trip while I’m off cycle is a priority - this gives me the extra motivation to train at 110% and I’m progressing accordingly.

Tomorrow I’ll be doing some BJJ and I’ll be reporting back on how I do especially in the context of my cardio, and I’ll be hitting the weights again on Sunday for chest and back.

See a post workout pic below.

Cheers guys
