James/Matt - thanks for posting up the flat bench video above, looks the biz and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow but with a much lower weight/rep range ;)

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

James thanks again for the advice never really thought when training one body part can lead to training other parts of the body aswell , ( I'm still learning the sport) I guess I need to re-organise my training now. cheers buddy I owe you one for all the advice you given to me since I joined the board.

Thanks

Amjad

I love your physique James, It's just amazing. The video isn't the best quality but you still look in rediculous condition. I have 2 days off in a row next week so will email you and see if you can make one day for a brain picking session! Not long to go James and you'll certainly be doing the brits proud.

Hi James
greetings from Germany....its my first post in the forum.
Firstly good luck with your competition,after reading all the posts i can see you have the "hay in the barn" so to speak and hope you have a stormer in the states!!

I stumbled onto your thread after looking in the internet for some simple principles of good nutrition and was really impressed how you stressed how important basic natural foods were to your recovery process.As anyone who has "walked the walk" for a long time knows there are no shortcuts or magic formulas to sucsess,but just lots of small elements to the puzzle.

I am an English guy who moved out to Germany 13 yeas ago and ended up experiencing foods that i had not tried in the UK.

One topic that has always interested me is how effectivly does the body take up and utilise the macronutrients that we feed them...it was through a friend that i tried some experiments with seedlings
One of then is self made "seedlings".You basically put in say some lentils into water for 24hrs in a sealed ceramic top,after 24hrs you drain the water and for the next 2-3 days water them twice a day.They start developing shoots..and at this stage are edible.More inportantly all the goodness/processes that nature stores in the seeds in order to produce a healthy living plant are activated.The Vitamin and mineral content goes through the roof!! and the starchy carbohydrates become much more digestable/absorble as well for the bodys systems....im not sure what happens to the protiens
Its dirt cheap and tastes great either mixed into a salad with good oils or one of my favorites is sprinkled on a freshly made broccoli or carrot soup.

Its a great alternative to traditional low GI Carbs like buckwheat oats barley etc and knocks the socks off all comercially prepared carbs like wholewheatbread brown rice etc.

Not somthing to try during your pre competition period but maybe worth some research into during your next buildup block

Hope the post is not too off topic for the thread
Thanks for all the tips
All the best

Scott
