Asking for opinions


Hey everyone!
I'm sorry for the lack of updates but I've been quite busy, I finally was able to get my first real job interview... but it didn't go that well :(
That aside, I was wondering if anyone has ever used the supplements from this new (I guess it's new) company, called Cellucor.
Apparently they sell kits of supplements that should be very good, given their testimonials (but I don't usually trust testimonials on a company's site), so I was asking myself if any of you got the chance to try them.
I'll be curious to hear your opinions on this.
Thanks :)

Monthly Measures II (November 2009)

And here we are, for the second round on the measures.
I'm afraid the 2 weeks I worsened a bit my results, but still... here they are:

Neck: 35cm / 13.8'' (+)
Shoulders (girth from shoulder to shoulder): 115cm / 45.3'' (+)
Chest: 94cm / 37'' (+)
Bicep (relaxed): 29cm / 11.4'' (+)
Bicep (flexed): 32cm / 12.6'' (+)
Waist: 72cm / 28.3'' (+)
Forearm: 25cm / 9.8'' (=)
Thigh: 50cm / 19.7'' (-)
Calf: 37cm / 14.6'' (+)

The + means I improved, - I got worse, = it remained unchanged.

Lack of updates

Hello everyone.
As you may have noticed there's been a lack of updates, and that's because I fell ill for a while (fever, sore throat... a pain).
As of today, I've officially healed, and I went back to the gym too...
Man, I stopped for two weeks and it felt like it was 2 years instead :(
I lost a bit of strength because of the meds, but I'm positive it'll come back.
Next week will be measures' time, so stay tuned.

And now, some pics for all of you :)

As promised, here are some pics I found browsing on the web :)

A little update

Hello everyone!
First, I'd like to thank everyone that's visiting my blog, leaving comments, subscribing and so on :)
I really appreciate that!

Secondly, I decided to start a yahoo! group. You can find the link scrolling down, on the left bar.
I'd like to have any feedback.

Later I'll post a couple of pics I found browsing on the net :)

Daily Limit Break

Woot! I'm so happy I can't believe it, I just came back from the gym and I'm quite happy of the workout (just a bit disappointed on one thing... more to come).
I thought the 70kg at the Inversed Lat Machine were my final limit for this strength schedule... I guess I was wrong.
Today I was able to raise the weight to 75kg without much effort (if we don't consider the hard part: getting in position... 13kg of differences between your weight and how much weight you're going to pull... well you got the picture), and I was able to raise the weight on the Wide Bent Over Row too.

The only disappointment was the Curl... I still can't break the 25kg limit and that's a bit depressing.

Well, that's all for this update. Here's a goodie :)

Monthly Measures I

I'm finally done. I've finally took my measures (yay for me \o/).
I'll take them each month to see if I gained (or lost..) something :)

Neck: 34cm / 13.4''
Shoulders (girth from shoulder to shoulder): 114cm / 44.9''
Chest: 90cm / 35.4''
Bicep (relaxed): 27cm / 10.6''
Bicep (flexed): 31cm / 12.2''
Waist: 68cm / 26.8''
Forearm: 25cm / 9.8''
Thigh: 52cm / 20.5''
Calf: 36cm / 14.2''

I took them on my own, so they may not be 100% accurate, but I did my best.

Body on the spot



Gorgeous back, and fabulous calves.
Don't you think?

What a stud! I


Yummy!

And now, for something completely different...

I know, it isn't related to my blog, but I just couldn't not post it. The movie is so amazing and sad... and Hugh Jackman is so awesome.

And the music, in my opinion, is mind blowing.

On another note, I can't seem to be able to post links in a decent way, they all display one after another in the same line on my browser, even if I'm using the
tags .-.

Any idea on how to solve the problem?

Thanks!

A new batch of pics.





I was thinking about taking measures, but I wasn't really in the mood... maybe later or tomorrow.

BUT!
I have made another couple of pics while in the shower :)

Limit Break!

As someone asked, I will post here the supplements I'm taking.
Feel free to comment.

On a sidenote, I broke the 50Kg limit on the squat today. 60Kg is the new weight :)

Proteins: 60g/day divided in 2 30g-doses. I take them for breakfast and before going to bed in days I'm not training. If I'm training I use the breakfast dose right after the workout.

Creatin: 10g/day for the first 10 days (2nd day today), divided in 4 2,5g doses. 2 of them are being taken with the protein, the other 2 are distributed during the day, but long after the important meals (eg: middle morning/afternoon). After these 10 days, I'll go down to 5g/day, in 2 2,5g doses, and that's it.

BCCA: I'm taking these guys only on the days of the workouts, 3g before the training and 3g after.

And that's all about it.

For more infos, just ask.

If someone's interested in it, I'll have a 'donate' button on the blog as soon as paypal confirms my account. So if you want to help me (beside the always appreciated comments), you'll know what to do.

Enjoy :)

My Routine (3rd Month)

Good morning everyone.
I was thinking about what to post here to keep you informed, so I decided to write down my actual routine.

It's a 3 days routine, and it's focused on strength improvement. I've been doing this for 3 weeks (this one is the 4th), and it's almost at the end. Next weel will be the last, and it will be a bit different.

First Day (Pecs - Shoulders - Triceps):
Bench Press - 3 series x 5 repetitions each - Started out with 30Kg, now I'm on 50Kg
Inclined Bench Press - 3 x 8 - Started at 10Kg, now at 16Kg
Pek Dek (or however you write that) - 3 x 5 - Started at 40Kg, now at 55Kg
Military Press - 3 x 8 - Started at 11Kg, now at 12Kg (I know, low increment D:)
Close Grip Bench Press - 3 x 5 - Started at 30Kg, now at 40Kg
Crunch.

Second Day (Legs):
Leg Press - 3 x 5 - Started at 70Kg, now at 110Kg
Back Squat - 3 x 8 - Started at 20Kg, now at 50Kg
Seated Leg Curl - 4 x 6 - Started at 35Kg, now at 60Kg
Standing Calf Raise - 3 x 10 - Started at 35Kg, now at 60Kg
Reverse Crunch.

Third Day (Back - Biceps):
Inversed Lat Machine - 3 x 5 - Started at 40Kg, now at 75Kg
Wide Bent Over Row - 3 x 8 - Started at 10Kg, now at 18kg
Curl (w/Barbell) - 3 x 5 - Started at 20Kg, now at 25Kg
Extensions.

Until now I've always trained w/out supplements. I started taking them yesterday (proteins, creatin, and, today, I'll start with BCCA).

That's all folks for now :)

My Ideal Bodies I


What can I say.

Just pure awesomeness.

And here we are






As I promised a couple of hours ago, here's the first batch of pics.
They have been taken no more than 20 minutes ago, so they're pretty recent.

I'm sorry about the terrible lighting but the light in my bathroom is _shit_, I tried to recover what I could with photoshop. And sorry about the pics of the back, but it's not easy to get the right angle <_<;

Well, hello!

Good morning everyone (or afternoon, or evening... depends on where in the world you are).
I just created this blog, and that's why it looks so... well, terribly empty.
I'll get some pics/stats of mine on here ASAP, so please, bear with me for a little while longer :)
