hi guys, i was lucky enough to have a personal training session with Tom Blackman a couple of weeks ago and found it so useful i think it deserves a review for all too see. I've write it in this section because of toms proffesional attitude and it's inspiration for me.

After arranging via e-mail with tom me and my training partner arrived at our meeting point around 10:45, funny enough we met tom at a KFC. (Wonder why eh?) I've seen tom compete and in the magazines but to meet him in the flesh gave me a real appreciation of how big he really is. I was also surprised at how well spoken and polite a man of such stature could have. I know never judge a book by it's cover but everyone has a first impression. He gave us a pre-workout drink to sip on as we followed his car to the other side of Bristol.

We arrived at pro-lab gym raring to go, i wonder what was in that drink?? we had arranged to hit chest as i felt it was my weakest point and felt it needed some improvements.

What follows is the routine that day, i'm not going to give away any of Toms secrets but hope it gives you some insight.

Incline D/B Press 2xwarm up 1xmedium 1xall out failure
D/B Flye 1xwarm up 1xfailure
Low pulley cable crossover 3x12-15
Barbell Negative press 3x4-6
Incline hammer press 2xfailure

My chest was batterd, we concluded the session with a 30mins consultation regarding training, nutrition etc.. which was very valuable. Since putting together tom advice i have gained 4lbsin 2 wks (thanx tom)

I'll conclude by saying i found the session very enjoyable though hard, Tom is a real gentleman who knows his stuff and if anyone gets the oppurtunity to train with tom take it (free publicity there tom) I will be working hard on my weakpoints over the next couple of months till my next session with him. It really was value for money.

In a sport were everyone seems to know best, i think it's important we listen to people and continue to learn more about the science of bodybuilding.We have some very wise people on this site and i thankyou all for youre contributions especially the moderators who do such a great job.

Till next time keep growing and i wish everyone the best of luck with there quest for massivness!!! ha ha matt:lift:
