Hi Kev,

Actually doesn't look bad at all, if anything bump up your 'good' fats in the form of virgin olive oil, flaxseed, fish oils and natural peanut butter. It's a good, nice simple mass building diet by the looks of it.:lift:

BTW if you want more feedback put your diet in the 'diet section' that way you can get the input from others too and we wont divert off the topic in this thread.

Cheers mate

How can you keep getting better and better in such a short space of time? It's insane. Every pic is showing improvements on an already outstanding physique.

Thats very kind of you..... But I still have a very long way to go!!!

The reason is I have 2 great guys helping me (PaulB and Nytol) and for the first time I have ALL bases covered, something in the past that was never the case. I have Paul for the nutrition and Nytol for the training and the performance enhancers.
I do what I am told and just get on with it with a few tweaks here and there from me.

Paul really comes into his own at around 3 weeks out. This is make or break time and I will be flying up to spend the weekend with him at this point in my prep for the Arnold. He will tell me as it is and I will do what is necessary.

My body changes very quickly when I need it to as it did for the British and as it has done to a degree now in the last 2 weeks. The only difference being is that in the last 18 days I have upped my cardio by 15 mins daily, my food however, is practically the same calorie wise as it was for the pre xmas off season.

It will get harder once I drop my 2am meal out, if or when that happens.

regards

James

Hi Gary,

No I wont be carb rotating just sticking to what I am doing; if it aint broke dont fix.
If I need to I can add another 30 mins of cardio after training which is my plan 4 weeks out. As I always say, I'd rather keep the food in and burn it out than starve the body.
You will notice however, that I do have 50g less of carbs and protein on non training days but keep the cals the same by bumping up the fats, so in a way I guess its a kind of small rotation.

I wont be there in 3 weeks, my aim is to be there in 6, 1 week before.
Slowly, slowly catchy monkey...nothing drastic just gentle chipping away!

Thanks Con, its probably one of the areas I have been working on most, to look good from the front and side is good but to look good which ever way you turn is better!!
I always say that shows are won (and lost) from the back. To have detail and mass from the back is something in a few years that I want to be known for.

We are slowly getting there my friend.:lift:

MASSIVEMONSTER · 14-01-2008, 10:10 AM

Seems like you have made serious gains since the British. Back and hams seem very hard and very much improved. Maybe a solid few pounds which seems a lot in four months!
I think a pro card is on the horizon for sure mate.

I used to be a fan of yours James until I read this thread and tried some staggered leg presses on Friday. I still cant walk properly today, it feels like ive never trained them before. I got a few strange looks as well as it sounded like I was having a baby!

Seriously though they are awsome, ive always hated training my legs especially as anything ive done before hasnt made any massive improvements. I think a few weeks of these and my legs will really catch up with the rest of my body. The other bonus is that it shortens my leg workout because im physically unable to do anything after!

Keep up the good work dude:lift:

Ollie B · 14-01-2008, 12:56 PM
