Great for strength and power but not really bulk. None of the really strong climbers I know are that big.Have you considered rock climbing?
synthol is one route I.won't go down, have a look at some of those.weirdosCollagen limp injections aren't cheap...
Used to.dig for s living, wiry muscle but no big.muscle.change in sizeShovel + wheelbarrow + bow saw. And lots of hydration.
did.a.bit of climbing as a lad, not my thingHave you considered rock climbing? It seems to deliver a full body workout. Being quite different to just hitting weights it might shock your body into growth.
Yeah, bit.like.loads of chin ups respect.for their fitness and strength and Agility thoughGreat for strength and power but not really bulk. None of the really strong climbers I know are that big.
Not for bulking in itself, but to mix up the training. Sometimes the body gets used to what you're doing and slows results.Great for strength and power but not really bulk. None of the really strong climbers I know are that big.
May well have to have blood tests to see if test is low, but to be honest I had visions of the gains continueing for.a while yet.Honestly (and a little brutally) if you think getting to that size is even close to possible at your age or without years of steroid/HGH/etc. use then you're deluded.
Seriously dude, not possible and you have to look at the situation in a realistic context.
Eat and drink lots of protien, pay attention to your micros, lift heavy and low reps and that's all you can do. You are at the age where your testosterone is receding and your gains will be limited. You can start taking the illegals but you will throw your body into chaos.
That's the long and the short, like it or not.
Yeah, good.idea actually, I get where you are coming from. Shall.try a bit of rope climbing, I have.a huge gum in the back yardI think johnny might be onto something...maybe a just increase your taurine levels? You live in cattle country yeah?

Yet your I'd like to look like this guy, is Rich Piana, a synthol freak extraordinaire! he was indeed big, but he was also into synthol.synthol is one route I.won't go down, have a look at some of those.weirdos
This is a normal plateau towards the end of the first year....all that in 9 months
I think I may have just reached a stale point thus my looking for workout that has workedl
Cheers mate, defiantly not ripped, I want to reach 100 before even trying to rip any fat off.You actually not looking to bad in your post picture, your not ripped, but there is clearly some reasonable muscle mass going on, well done.

Also he's dead, died a month ago at the age of 46, same week - this seems to be a very common theme in steriod abuse, and if you want to look like this, this is a likely outcome, probably died from some form of illicit drugs or heart failure, no one knows yet as fair as I am aware.
Realistically your in a good starting point for classic physique, as jonny highlighted your goal isnt realistic.
So your finding that
This is a normal plateau towards the end of the first year.
Its a concept called adaptive reserve, you have made rapid gains towards a set point regulated by myostatin, some people get massive easy and some people are built like moorey (who is a lovely person when not on the net).
There is three things you can do now to continue to gain mass, which all work as long as you continue to train - no need to change training exercises, just modify the reps / or intensity every month or two. changes exercises does nothing for improving muscle growth.
Spend 50-100k on gear in the next year or too, getting big isnt cheap and it isn't too good for hearts and vessels.
Eat like a mofo, a lot of protein and a lot of calories, wake up every night and have a meal at 230am. No alcohol, its no good for muscle mass, and get at least 10hrs sleep.
Stop all forms of aerobic exercise, its an energy dump, you need that energy for protein synthesis. the only aerobic exercise you do for the next year or two is a casual walk.
I like that, been bulking for years, gunna start lifting soon, classic.I have been "Bulking" for the last 30yrs gunna start lifting any day now...........
Body Dysmorphia...... reading this thread brings this to mind. Not everyone that has this is anorexic. Look at the top tier body builders and they are still not happy with parts of their body. If only I was bigger....... Great news as soon as you stop it all goes away.
In a pure BB workout, no real need for more compound lifts if your isolating all the muscle groups.but fwiw it does stands out that there's not enough squats or big explosive lifts in there, deadlifts etc.
O would like to do over head lifting but the rotator cuff injury means its a nonoI think questions on AusBB would prob get you better answers than from mtb community, but fwiw it does stands out that there's not enough squats or big explosive lifts in there, deadlifts etc. and if you've got an oly bar then do some oly lifts and surprise yourself.
Do you think hitting the gym twice a day 4 times a week would help gains, 3/4 of an hour a.time .In a pure BB workout, no real need for more compound lifts if your isolating all the muscle groups.
Other thing I noticed was legs once a week is not enough, should be close to twice a week or three times per fortnight minimum, increased protein synthesis only lasts 2-3 days so it leaves 4 days of atrophy between these peaks.
