At such a young age surely the aim is to keep piling on the mass and not worry too much whether one body part is slightly lagging behind. Plenty of time to get the symmetry in the future.
Whatever you do Luke, i'm sure it will work for you.

greg fear · 02-04-2008, 08:06 AM

luke do you do anything to try get your
waist that tight eg what exercises

or did it just come with the diet and cardio?

**Tinytom** · 02-04-2008, 08:50 AM

looks like all that hard work is paying off Luke.

Well done for sticking with it, SHow prep can be tough especially for someone who is younger with all the distractions of life.

See you Sunday

martzee · 02-04-2008, 09:03 AM

hi luke looking very good mate! should be a good show and i look forward to seeing you there.I know what you mean when you say feels weird dropping cardio now after your long journey on the cv trail,but H is right you no longer need it as i have done this many times and from now in all i have done is pose and practice my routine and holding the poses.
The hard work is done now mate just follow what H has got for you in the following days and you will come in right on the button judging by your pics.
good luck mate

Littleluke · 02-04-2008, 09:16 AM

Hi Tom mate, yes see you sunday! can't believe how quick it has gone! Thank you for your kind words.

With regards to my waist. I just make sure that it is kept nice and tight whilst performing any exercise. I have never done sit ups whilst bodybuilding and to be honest don't intend too.

I wore jeans for the first time the other night, I usually buy 34inch waist ones and wear a belt because they're too tight round my ass and legs at 32. Even 32 are baggy on my waist though! Me and Hayley had a photo shoot at venture and I was constantly pulling my bloody jeans up, it didn't help that I had some pink boxers on so they stood out a treat LOL! I have to buy jeans for my job now as they want us in casual wear (WHEN SELLING F()CKING PHONES) what a joke! I hate buying jeans especially as I aim to gain alot after this comp so they won't fit in 2 weeks!

Anyway a little update for you all.
I awoke this morning with a very positive attitude, took a look in the mirror and was shocked to see my torso and legs covered in veins without having any carbs in me! I am really starting to dry out now which is a good thing. I wil be seeing H tomorrow to discuss the final stages of my prep. I'm excited about the carbing up phase as I have been flat for ages now and hungry ! LOL.
I have stocked up wel for my rebound though and have enough supplements to last me a good 2 months thanks to boditronics! It's really exciting being part of a company that is constantly bringing out new things.. They have a Banana Split whey coming out soon which is meant to be incredible.

Anyway that's enough of my ramblings, I'm off to do a little shoping then hitting the gym for an hour of posing then returning for my last shoulder session.

All very exciting

Luke

Littleluke · 02-04-2008, 09:17 AM

Thank you Martzee, appreciate that mate. Make sure you say hello at the show.

smithy26 · 02-04-2008, 09:51 AM

good luck mate for sunday, hope it goes all as planned u deserve a trophy for sure, see u there.

miles2345 · 02-04-2008, 11:58 AM

HI LUKE,

HAVING WRITTEN SOMETHING ON MY BROTHERS THEAD I'D LIKE TO PUBLICLY APPOLOGISE TO YOU. aT NO STAGE WAS MY COMMENT INTENDED AS DEROGATORY TO YOU, I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT LIKE THAT. YOU HAVE DONE FANTASTICALLY WELL AND YOU HAVE EVERYCHANCE ON SUNDAY, WHAT I SAID WAS MEANT PURELY AS A STRUCTURAL COMPARISON, BUT HAVING READ IT BACK THAT WAS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH. yOU HAVE BOTH DONE REALLY WELL AND IT IS ANYONES GAME.

I'll say the same to you as i said to him, go and enjoy it, you've put the hard work in so dont get stressed out, it will be the freatest day of your life to date when you step out in the evening and there are 1000 people all cheering in recognition of a good line up. You should all go into this now WANTING to win but with the attitude - I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE, I HAVE NOT CHEATED MYSELF AND WHATEVER YOUR PLACING THAT IS THE BEST THAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE.

I truly hope there are no hard feelings and I would be disappointed if my comments have pi**ed you off, i accept my wording should have been different and i'm sorry, I clearly say that i think you have done really well and that you never know what the judges are going to prioritse. Of course my opinion is going to be slightly biased with family.

GOOD LUCK, SEE YOU SUNDAY

Littleluke · 02-04-2008, 12:27 PM

Miles mate!

You have nothing to apoligise for. you are entitled to your opinion and ovcourse it will be somewhat biased BUT! as you said, who knows how it will go on the day. I'm glad you posted on my thread and definately look forward to meeting both you and scott on the day. Scott looks really good and I look forward to being stood up there with him. I must admit though, the nerves have really started to kick in.. All those people LOL!!! It's going to be great though.

Thank you Miles, see you soon my friend.

Keep your head together Luke. You've worked hard to get where you are. Focus on being the best you can be, and use any critacism to fuel your determination to be even better.
