yeah you can where them on the elbows or knees as the stretch and go back to norm after. i got the small for my elbows nytol has the mediums with almost 20" arms and they are still slightly big so depending on how big you are go for either small or medium for the elbows.

I think the 2 week split would be brilliant. I followed one of Matt's routines for a couple of months based on that (as I have probably thee worst recovery powers ever..) & my strength went up something rotten.

Obviously you two know how your body's react, but it's food for thought.

Looking awesome too (& getting ridiculously strong :biggrin

hi james

I was happy to finally meet you in person at the Portsmouth show last night, i was the guy sat down in the yellow t-shirt.
It was very cool for you to sit (well kneel lol) and chat to me for a few minutes, reading your journals from last years brits, arnolds and now your off season its great to be able to speak to you face to face.

I was taken back a bit because most guys just smile, shake your hand and leave but you took the time for a fan.

All the best mate in your career :beer1:

Grim_Reaper

Awesome mate totally awesome
I can only live in hope lol
Are you on any cycles at the moment

I remember you well, getting up I felt like an old man!!

I always try to spend time with people, firstly it is common courtesy and secondly I like to hear what people have to say.

I am glad you got something out of my threads (and still do) but unfortunately as I said on sunday a pre contest one this year will not be happening. I want to keep 100% focused and the only way I can really do that is to keep my head down and keep a fairly low profile (as hard as I may find that)
Anyway you'll get a visual update about 10 weeks out as I'll be doing the Gravesend Classic guest spot on the bank holiday weekend in August so come along and see just how fat I really am!!!

Well....

J was trying out Nytol's Penny Farthing:



But I think he might be edging towards a Ralleigh Chopper:



Mr Bowen (James... ) - do you drink in the off season...? Or do you tend to cut it out as much as possible...? :beer1:

Hi James agree with IB here how its nice you take time out to speak to people, it must be strange for you as for alot of us it feels like we sort of know you after following your journal for so long. It was great to finally meet you and good news your guest posing at the same show i'll be competing in at least I will know someone. My girlfriend was shocked how much muscle you and Tom carry both looking very big.

Galtonator

I agree with the Guys it was good to meet you after you have helped me out with a few questions in the past it's nice to have a few words and say thanks in person

1x15 stack plus 105kgs balanced on top!!
1x15 same

Donkey calf raises

1x15 stack
1x15 stack FAILURE
1x12 stack FAILURE

Overall a great workout.

I returned from Portsmouth after a 7 hour round trip (due to snow) at around 1am and was up at 5.30am for work...NICE

I felt strong yesterday and went heavier than ever before on rear delts

Dumbell pressing felt great with no real pain from my elbows. Also 50kgs for 10 was a good set as we had pretty much completely battered our shoulders in the 2 exercises prior.

Calves felt good, pain was intense as was the pump.

Afterwards I had 2 further clients and then got home at 3.30pm. I then had some eggs and wholewheat toast and went to bed. I got up at 6am this morning!!!!!

This brings me on to where I am at.

I feel like I need a break of a week to recharge the batteries. Altho my weights are increasing and I am growing (quickly) I am beginning to feel overtrained. not only due to the training but also my very busy lifestyle/work schedule.

I will be returning to the gym next monday. My knees and elbows are niggling me so when I return all pressing will be performed with dumbells as this proves much better for me (must be something to do with the hand movement)

My shoulder feels back to normal now which is a blessing and I could press on but I want to be instinctive and I feel now the time is right to have a break.

I call it active recovery and I will still remain active doing a little exercise every day but stay away from the really heavy weights we have been lifting for the past month.

My voice is still effected 3 weeks on from my virus (which is normally the case when I get a throat infection) so again this is another reason to back off.

I also feel like a break and I dont feel like I want to really train this week.

My diet will be the same altho I will back off the carbs a little as my output will be a lot lower (altho its only 2 sessions I'll be taking a break from)

Next week I'll be itching to get into the gym again and it also gives me a chance to visit a few people who I am helping get ready for the SE shows.

I have the joint support formulas coming from Myprotein this week so will start those to and take these for the forseeable. Its something I should have done months ago more for the preventative benefit as prevention is always better than a half hearted cure!


I am already thinking about the British and this was brought to the fore by the interview I did on sunday for Flex magazine. Look out for it in the next few months. There should be some training shots of me from the Arnold weekend and I also give a very candid insight into the sport, how I got into it and my thoughts for the future.
How much they will keep in it will be interesting to see. But when the John Plummer said 'Are you sure you want me to put that in?' it means that it probably will go in as it raised his eyebrows.

I am also launching my very own website in the next few weeks, www.jamesllewellin.com It will hopefully (after a little tweaking and so forth) offer quite a comprehensive service and be information packed with all thats going on in my BBing during the lead up to the British and in my bodybuilding life in general.

There will be all your normal things such as a guest book, blogs, photos, news and views on what hot and what's not in the bodybuilding scene both in the UK and abroad.

My personal training services and pre contest advice will also be listed and
I will eventually have a members section for people wanting training/diet and supplement tips and advice as well as a visual updates every week and training clips too in my off season and pre contest phases.

I will also be selling photos and hopefully, (all being well) my own line in clothing (just T's to start with) so there's lots going on. It has a great name and a great logo too!! I'll be linking up hopefully with uk-muscle, myprotein, Evolution Gym etc and any other sites which want to link up, so let me know if you want any your sites linked and we can all benefit.

I will still be posting on here too so nothing will really change. I wont be having a forum on my site as I think that this one along with myproteins are 2 of the best and I am not wanting to try and compete plus they take up one hell of a lot of time!!!!

So there's a lot going on at the moment and some quite exciting times ahead, fingers crossed.

I will now enjoy my time away from the gym and look forward to my rest for the remainder of the week. Back to the grind now though as I am working till 10pm tonight after starting at 6.30am this morning!!

Who said it was all work and no pleasure.....yeah probably me!!!!

J
