That's the wrong mindset. Makes sense, but definitely demotivating thought.
There is 10000 guys that looks better than me, but they not me, so fuck them.
When i started i set a 10 year goal, and i have never walked out of a gym thinking i waisted my time.
When your at the gym training, give it your fucking best, always. If you do arms, and after your program is finished, try touching the top of your head, if you can, you are fucking around.
that 10 year goal bit is awesome. i remember back in high school i started training and my grandmother always thought it was a phase i was going through. she (and others) used to ask me what happens to me when i stop training and the phase has passed... 12 years later i still don't know what happens when i stop this "phase"
it's like i told my colleague who wants to lose weight... i don't have a diet, i have a lifestyle.
oh and oupa... borrow me some of them calves

Just by coincidence I trained biceps and triceps this morning and I couldn't wash my back and neck and had to use the one arm to manipulate the other one. Couldn't even reach for my safetybelt and it felt great now I cannot wait for legs tomorrow morning.Oupa wrote:

Never tried to add a photo with tapatalk and let see if it works. Foto added is from early last year to now I weigh 105 kg with a estimated 15 % fat. Two years before that I weighed 127 kg with more than 40 % fat. As mentioned previously I want to do a bodybuilding show early 2019 at 46 years and I want to weigh a minimum of 115 kg with less than 10% fat. What would the forum suggest I do go on a one year bulking and just add whatever possible or rather go the three months bulking and leaning out cycle and monitor what my body do. I still have an slight problem with eating more than maintenance because I know how I look and felt and don't want to go that route again. On the substance abuse side I followed the experienced members advice and are on self subscribed TRT at 1 ml PGW test cyp a week. All bloods in order as tested couple of months ago except test levels.

So that you know what it takes to get there and see how you feel and look there so you have an idea how you would look on stage though some consider stage ready less than 6% body fat. Also do that so that have an idea of how to reverse diet out of that slowly up to maintenance and into a bulk. Then you want to bulk and get as heavy as possible but don't let your body fat get out of hand you want to start your prep for competition at no more than 15% body fat. That is what I know and have. I am sure some of the other guys can guide and add more.
How tall are you?

after reading this forum that is what i am doing now. going until failure and not afraid to pack on more weight. on my last set i drop to a lighter weight and push to failure again, then repeat another time with no breaks. it feels awesome and i think for the first time i am really experiencing the pump that i read about! My arms were really swollen to a point that my younger bro was shocked at the size... wish they could stay that way forever LOL
before i was in the usual 4 sets 12 reps routine. also didn't go too heavy on weights since i train alone with no spotter.
PS no phone with me. at least i had that part right all along
Once again would like to thank everyone for the input on this forum. in just a short time i feel and see major changes and i'm loving it! All thanks to alot that was learnt over here.

If you go over maintenance add Growth Hormone or CJC or MK677 that should minimise body fat gain. Also get at least 8hours sleep a night

Growth hormone way too expensive for me and on peptides I am a complete novice. Did read the treads on the forum but so far it sounds not too good but will try it as a once off and see.Rooi Bul 86 wrote: You have a good frame to start from and to carry some good mass.

You can run it for long the longer the better. You should get nutrition sorted if you are on a budget as the most of your growth and transformation is going to be fueled and dependent on calories.

Triton is lean enough for a slow gain cycle, and has little need for fat burners considering his realistic goals. I'd even go as far as saying it is achievable naturally. He certainly has the frame to build on, as rooi bul indicated.
Triton my maat, jy lyk glad nie anoreksies nie

Triton my maat, jy lyk glad nie anoreksies nieYou're also fortunate to not carry much evidence of age or the rapid fat loss. Rather spend your money on chicken, rice and broccoli than peps or GH.
For sure, Triton is looking good that's why I also don't mention the use of peptides.
Nothing wrong with a fat burner though.

Baie dankie Eidolon dit is wat ek eintlik wou weet moet ek vergeet van vet en vir die volgende jaar op 'n bulking dieet gaan of is dit te lank en liewer 3 maande aan en af. Ek eet reeds alles wat jy genoem het behalwe broccoli ek verstaan daai een nog glad nie.Eidolon wrote: I'm not sure if you guys see the same pics I do

Good foundation. Stay lean and add tren for 12 weeks and lets see where you at after that. Bulking with that frame is going to be good fun.

Tren if he was competing in December, but for 2019 I'd go with a gentler poison like NPP :woohoo:
I agree that he'd look awesome once his lats push out and his traps pop.
@Triton - one thing us older guys have to be careful of is our obliques. If you seriously plan to get on stage, maybe consider wearing a velcro belt like Schiek during your workouts.
