Thanks for the tips on how to work me Lats today in the gym if it was you.
Haven't done a back workout on decent machines in well over a year.
Good luck on any future competitions you do aswell.

well done mate just caught up with your thread now good for
you
you have done yourself proud

Marsbar · 20-05-2008, 08:52 PM

estfna .. I was back in yesterday doing legs .. no rest for the wicked LOL. Downstairs looks boss... D has done a brilliant job turning things round.. the gym can only go from strength to strength now. Brad got 3rd in the juniors at the Pendle but he only decided to do the show the night before and he was 2.5st up on the NW. He looked like the side of a house when he walked on stage and dwarfed teh other two lads but he wasn't as sharp .. saying that though I had him 2nd. Paul didn't do it .. think he's taking this year out to get some size on cos he's got a massive frame to fill. How's your training going? Are you in the gym tomorrow?

C12AIG .. haha yeah that was me mate.. next time your in and I'm there come and say hello or if you need any advice feel free to ask. Are you training there regularly now?

Greg .. thanks mate .. your time will come... just rest up for now ;)

I'm on a 4-day split, tomorrow is off. I've been going in later around 6-7pm this last week because of college work. Deadlines and that. I think whenever I'm in town and need something to eat I'll be going round the gym, proper bodybuilding menu now, need more women in though it's still only really lads, not much to look at haha. Training is fine mate, been switching a few things around, mainly my leg w/o, pre-exhausting now with extensions because straight to squatting/press really destroys my knee's. Also in the process of overhauling my diet, I didn't have the time to get 8 meals a day, I'm working from a base of 6 at the minute. If your in Thursday and Friday I'll try getting down around 12-1 if that's still your training time.

Marsbar · 21-05-2008, 07:09 AM

yeah I'll be in around that time on friday

I think I've even converted the wife into a contest prep guru as she's now talking about 'what we're going to do for the novices next year". I've been really lucky to have such a supportive family and I've tried had to make sure I haven't neglected my duties as a husband and father. So thanks for following this thread but for now this chapter is closed.

Awesome comments about the family. Nice one.
That sort of thing could inspire me to compete!

Marsbar · 21-05-2008, 06:27 PM

Thanks Stow. we were laughing after the show saying that in a few years I'll be doing the over 40's, my daughters will be doing the figure classes and my lad will be doing the juniors LOL
