Awsome James cant believe how you have changed especially you legs and back. Your legs are ripped to shreads in those pics, you are a credit to this sport James and a massive help to the likes of myself and others who are just starting out.

Fkin hell James...seriously, I know it's said a lot - but with every new set of pics its like a whole new level of physique.

I can see you putting England back on the map at the Arnold

The new videos are great James - keep them coming.
In the video for your DB Bicep Curl - have you seen the lad warming up for his bench, what the fcuk is he doing with that bar ,at one point he tries to balance it with one hand only!!! Never seen that before ;)

Hi James looking awesome in those pictures, I will be shock if you don’t get 1st or 2nd place at the Arnolds mate :lift: BTW whilst reading through your journal I notice that you train two body-parts at a single session, I train 5 days a week and do one body-part at a time and spent about 45mins – 1hr on that body-part on various exercises, is this wise idea?

Thanks

We wanted to bring a different look to the Arnold with a slightly rounder, fuller look to the muscles. Lets just hope the plan comes togther eh?!

Yeah might give that a go, looks like he knows what he's doing and I too could (perhaps one day) have his kind of build

I think training 1 bodypart per session is fine if you have enough rest. Also for the smaller muscles like bi's, tri's, shoulders etc, you shouldn't need longer than 30 mins to do the job.

Most people overtrain their arms. Not just when they train them directly but if you think about it, bi's get hit doing back (and also chest to a degree when flying etc), tri's get hit doing shoulders and chest so in affect you are hitting tri's 3x a week and bi's 3x a week. Far too much.

For the 'off season' Matt and I will be adopting a split, training each bodypart over 9 days. I would urge anyone to do this, even yourself, so you could train 1 day on and 1 day off meaning your whole body would be trained over 10 days.

That gives you plenty of time to rest and supply your growing muscles with all that quality food.:lift:

Hope that helps

Yeah it puts a different kind of dimension on things. Its also good for me to see how I perform certain exercises and I'm pleased that so far everything looks spot on.
