John,
Bit of unsolicited advice:
I reckon the best way to format your training thread is the following....
Exercise 1
weight x reps, weight x reps, weight x reps
Exercise 2
weight x reps, weight x reps, weight x reps
for example:
Barbell squats
135 lb x 10, 225 lb x 5, 275 lb x 3
...this keeps the posts compact and avoids huge amounts of scrolling, but allows people to see the patterns of progression by having several posts onscreen together. Hence I believe minimising the number of lines in the post is more effective than bunching the data on the left side margin.
But it's your thread, just some constructive criticism. Please feel free to delete and/or ignore this post as you see fit.
The Luke
PS-great progress thus far, tough luck about the calves. I'll pm you when I do up that calf ratio post.
-
No appreciate it, also makes sense too. good idea. calves still burning. Gym owner promised me that if i get up to 18.5" he will let me train free for a fortnight lol. I know its not much but this guy would not spend christmas!
-
I think u should seriously consider focusing on the Squat more than the deadlift. Your deads will go up with your Squats, damn it you really need to bring up your Squats bro!! If you're really serious about bringin your lifts up, and not just obsessin with deads, I think you should consider it. Just friendly suggestions..
-
I have to agree with haidar. Besides there is quite a bit of overlap between deads and squats. I find myself doing each once a week is enough for me.
-
O i def agree with both of you and thus have siugnificantly upped my squat volume. Thanks for tips.
April 3rd
Bench press

-
Hey bro is what u posted for april 3rd workout all u did in that workout??
3 exercises seems like not alot but i suppose when u are doing that many sets and alot of intensity u dont need to do much more.
Looks good bro!!I replyd to ur PM aswell bro.
davie
-
Nothing to be ashamed of there bro. Them calves are coming right along.
BTW That gym is crazy...is federov there hahaha. Were spoiled in the states huh.
-
not federov John Grimek lol thats it looking clean ive pics of it looking terrible and rough.
-
Hey bro, thanks for the PM, i gave u reply aswell. What are you doing for calves mate. Theres lots of different ideas about training them, tho recurring idea i hear is about 10 of about 15 (choose couple exercises each workout) each workout, and about 3 times a week, not sure if thats true,but im gonna see.
I love the pics of that gym bro, do alot of folk use it? Looks old school, kinda gym wer it would heat up quickly and it wud just b guys there that love weights and wanna get big,awesome!!
I train at public sport centre gym, theres been good money spent on it, and has squat bar,bench couple flat benches (one that can do incline etc), lots dumbells etc and plenty machines and cardio equipment, but it is meant for fitness enthusiasts (which i am), not as much for guys wanting to get huge (which i also am).

every time i see you i masterbate my dick off.
very disturbing...ill take it as a compliment
-
hahahaha, classic symptom of a weak mind, can't answer the original post so i'll change it, hahaha, i own you.
-
my squat is very poor. i have been training it maybe 9 weeks. fair enough i am repping easily with 225lbs. did u start off 10 weeks in squattin ass to grass 300+ lbs
-
goudy...
regarding squats.....
if u aint goin down till ur hams are practically touching your ankles...
you arent suatting... forget that paralell foolishness...
anybody can put 405 on a barand do half reps.. i used to in the beginning...
but i didnt get great results till i dropped the weight and went deeeeep deeep down..
thats when my quads started to grow properly
-
3x a week Squatting, instead of 3x a week deads then, right? ;)
You're gonna put on atleast 30 pounds on your squat in this cycle..
-
If you squat ass to the grass your ass will grow big and your knees will crack. Believe you me. Keep up the good work Goudy you are looking big!

When going below parellel you hit your glutes more than going parellel. Both work the quads the same amount. There have been studies done on this, check them out....
-
Alex, youre wrong, ATG sqts are easier on the knees, studies do back this up and and I'll link u if u want.
Full Squat or Bust, bitches!!!

I speak from experience. Bottom line if you want huge quads like mine go to parallel and just control the weight. 20 reppers/setters baby!
-
go to sleep ya troll.
-
Ill post a vid of my ROM and i am going right down. gym owber even commented on it saying ill get a big ass but big legs. my knees are fine i think cos my knees dont go furthur forward than my feet and i have good form. and no doubt they are growing.
cheers folks

Sarcasm, fancy giving me a target to hit for a 5rm in say a month or 2. how about another possible and achievable target by end of year. ill achieve then exceed them ;)
-
Bring calves up to measure same as you arms.
-
o i know but only been doin calves for 2 wrkouts lol.
-
Hey bro, what do u do for calves then, since uv just started working them????
davie
-
220 pounds for 5 reps on the squat, what a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
your 17" arms juiced to the gills...what a beast
-
I understand that Sarcasm's "raison d'etre" is the proliferation of.... well.... sarcasm.... but dude, ripping on a hard training, dilligent natural who not only contributes to this site in a constructive manner but has the courage and integrity to vouchsafe his advice by posting his pics? Goudy is a role model for all the newbies on these boards and has earned our respect.
More at issue should be the persistent rumour that Sarcasm (if that is your real name) is actually either a non-training 120 lb fifteen-year-old, or one of 240's alter-egos.... depending on which version of the rumour you believe. Not what weight Goudy is STARTING squatting at!!!

Note to Goudy- TAN :D
-
lol tan man we had snow here in belfast yesterday. i wudnt tan i burn man
-
Heybro meant to ask u this (maybe u wont know).
My calves when seen from back (like ur pics), the outside of my calfs (cant remember name) is higher than inside. Now is this just my shape or is it because im just hitting the outside harder now and that area is smaller????
Now that iv been doing seated calf work (which hits outer head) i feel them more and bigger,so hopefully they just need to catch up.

davie
Hey davie I used to have that same problem. If you want to bring up the outside of your calfs, keep your toes close together and your heals out when you do your calf raises. Go heavy, full range of motion and higher reps.
PS: Goudy you give me great insperation everytime I do back I think Goudy!
-
Cheers mate, my routine Monday and friday is:
Seated calf raise 5x25
calf raise on leg press 5x15 (i keep heels in toes out here to try hit inside of calves more)
Today (wednesday) im gonna do standing calf raise (and il try it heels out).
davie
-
i know im a newbie at legs but get a block to stand on and really focus on stretch.
a guy on here sed a while ago ur legs are used to stamina. they carry u about all day. so why not hit em hard and heavy with lowever reps heavier weights. just a thought.

This is true. High reps will not shock calves into growth. Walking is the same thing. Heavy weight and full reps, then bodyweight reps to failure.....that equals 1 set. Then repeat 4-5 times. ;D
Also do partials...3 at the bottom 3 in the middle and 3 at the top. That equals 1 set. Repeat 4-5 times.
-
I always thought that calves should be worked with reps ranging from 10 to about 25??
I do seated calf raise sets with 25 reps a set.
calf press on leg press machine with reps of 20
standing db raise with reps of 15 and BB calf raises with reps of 10!
Thought that was a good range that should cover all the bases??

mesomorph78 does then for like 10 reps with 80kg around his waist!!!
-
I'm looking forward to seeing those dips....
I'm only able to use 20 to 30 kg myself, however I do weigh a hefty (fat) 100 kg myself so that might even things out a little.

Awesome lifting mate!!
davie
-
I also wish you happy birthday. Sorry about the delay!
-
Looking good there,mate.Have you maintained,or added to your arm size,without direct bicep training?
-
have added. i dip and go heavy also doing back adds. i know when i do do direct arm trainng they will increase significantly.
-
ok so today i was gonna rest but had to go into town for my das birthday so i decided to go to gym also. on side note shoulder feeling good. once again i started bantering with an old fella who still is strong etc saying how he cheats using straps. we were only slaggin so we decided to do t bar rows to see who could go heavier and most reps. him with straps me without.
it was very sticky and clamy and gripping was tough but we both got up to 350lb for set of 5 then decided to call it a draw. was glad. he turned a mediocre workout fun and got good pump. harrys one of those old guys with barrel chest and still pretty lean. stil wears world gym baggy over his t shirt.
i also intented to do calves but this wee challenge took over lol

-
Shoulder getting better tho still not tried benching. all io done today was dips as legs were still sore from other day.

-
Dam ur big bro!!
davie
-
cheers boss
-
No problem, great shoulder to waist difference!!
Do u feel u have any weaknesses, obvious or otherwise??
davie
-
You've got virtually the same structure and proportions as Steve Reeves. Your back development is particularly good. All those deadlifts are definitely paying off.
Bring up the legs, and I guarantee that you could probably beat most juicers. I would suggest training legs 2-3 times a week, alternating leg presses and hack squats. Barbell squats are pretty overrated as a leg exercise, and you're almost guaranteed to get injured in the long run.
-
excellent thanks man appreciate that a lot. tho im no where near steve reeves tho an old boy sed that to me b4. well he called him jim reeves lol. im hittin legs twice a week and been doin high reps also. mite start to throw in front squats i dunno see hoe i go in the next few months. cant wait for winter training. hate summer training. too warm
-
Looking aweosme though bro. Iv been doing back and front squats actually and even though u gotta use lighter weights for front squats i feel my legs more the next day doin them than i do day after back squats.
what was ur split again?Basic if i remember,which i think is that best way.
Im just back from workout,im tired and sore.Bis are the worst and i never worked them 2day. lol.
davie
-
i have done front squats before and i find it hard to keep my elbows up. shoulder seems ok unles si put it in relaly retarted pose....so ill not do that and ill def try bench presing again on monday. one week breakin in then ill go like the clappers.
at min its
mon tue thurs fri
mon-bench squats dips
tue deads chins rows hams
repeat
-
I notice u have no direct shoulder work. U hav great shoulders. do u think that if u added a shoulder exercises they may grow even faster??
davie
-
i duno and to be honest i dont wanna try. too many cooks etc...
also my workouts are pretty intense and i would not have the energy or time with uni etc. delts have always been good. at this stage im just trying to add mass and strength. i have no aspiratoins of bodybuilding so i dont really see the point.
they get hit and hit hard from my pressing movements and rowing.
-

-
Very impressive rear double biceps shot. Back and shoulders are just insane. You are looking lean and putting on weight. Whats your diet like again?
-
diet aint great tho only 20 so can get away with it. basically a weight gain shake in morning, a lot of carbs, weight gain after training, a subway, more chocolate, my dibnner usually spuds and meat, bowl cereal, more carbs at bed maybe a ham toastie or tuna.

Love the way u did 70kg for 10 reps then at the end put it back on and thought 'what the heck' and just pumped out 30 reps lol awesome.
I Bought progain yesterday bro. Only bought £25 which is alot better than magazines i think.
Gonna take it easy today on teh SLDL and clean/press b/c backs still bit dodgy, but the rest will b fine.

If grip is a problem just use straps
Some will of course tell you you're a second class citizen for doing so but you're training legs, not your grip remember :)
-
lol i just used overhand. i never use thjem. dont even own a pair lol
-
Yep, I didn't think you did. They save me all the time as I have a girls grip. I may not even be able to deadlift more than 140kg without them. Pretty annoying so the straps are a godsend.
-
A deadlift done with straps isnt a 'true deadlift', and since u do train for strength primarily, that might be a problem.
-

Yep, I train for strength versus myself though.. not really so I can beat anybody.
Trust me, if you had my grip you'd be scratching your head too. You'd go train legs on leg day and not even get sore because you're too busy trying to hold onto the weight.
Straps or not, as I am absolutely at my limit of grip (and then some) I would imagine I'm effectively training both my grip and my deadlift by using them.
-
In my experience, most of the people who admonish strap users are themselves blessed with exceptional grip strength. They never seem to allow for differences in hand size, and/or differences in the ratios of finger length to palm length... even differences in palm breadth can affect grip strength.
Let me give you an example: I have no grip strength and am forced to use straps on heavy back exercises, deadlifts etc. However, my younger brother can crush an apple with one hand simply by closing his fingers around it. Using two hands he can shear an apple into two equally sized halves simply by twisting it. My youngest brother can't lift a 50 lb dumbbell, however he has exceptional hook grip strength... unable to do even one full pull-up, he can nevertheless hang from the pull-up bar for more than 40 mins before his grip tires to the extent that he has to drop.
Neither of my brothers has ever worked out consistently yet my weaker grip is the product of 16 years lifting... surely the differences in inherent grip strength are more to do anatomical/physiological differences than anything else. Afterall, the variation among hand shapes is much greater than the shape and size differences seen among say... elbow joints.

I think you've hit the nail right on the head there.

Very good progress John, awesome results, you're no hardgainer.
I actually think that you are blessed with that no frills gym of yours, no distractions, and hardcore effort. I'm going back to the basics.

Impressive :)
Keep it up!

Spelling correction Goudy: "CRAIC!"
That's "FUN" as Gaeilge for you uncultured American heathens. (FUN, but "in Irish")
Two cousins of mine spent a weekend in a holding cell courtesy of the NYPD having pulled over a black and white at 4am Saturday night (morning?) and slurredly asking:
"Hey lads... (hic) ...sorry, hello ossifers... where can we find the craic this time of night?"...seemingly a well reasoned request after 14 pints of Guinness (read 14 x 3 = 42 bottles of that diluted Bud shit you flag-waving bitches drink).
They passed the (urine) drug test, but the cops couldn't believe they were still standing without some chemical assistance after breathalyzing them. Apparently they were unaccustomed to the Celtic disposition (read propensity towards alcoholism) and had only seen blood alcohol levels that high in winos on PCP. Released on the Monday morning they were both technically still intoxicated, at least in a legal sense.
Still, it was all just a bit o' craic!

i never read what uve lifted anyhow......who really cares??? if u just said maybe for bench , squat and dead id read etc :)
keep up the good work tho dude.....whats ya goals?
-
to get as strong as possible naturally. to continue to add size tho maintain low b/w and mobility speed etc. id say i more of a powerlifter than a bbuilder.
tho strength is primary goal follwed by a bit of size.

He does and this is his record ::)
I think its interesting, he's a bit stronger than me and has similar goals (strength without worrying about being heavy)

Goudy stick to the metric system. ;)
-
Why are you doing so many reps on the bench? Is it because of this injury? Why not try really slow tempos, that should achieve more for each rep.
-
o all my reps are slow. those are just for the pumpo and the fun of it. also keeps tendons strong too too many low reps=bad

hahaha did you hide the numbers in kilograms for squats out of shame ;D hahaha You are looking very large man!
Just a word of advice.. if you want to improve on the legs wear shorts to the gym on leg day and also put squats in pounds for motivation. ;)
-
lol no man i put in kilos cos sumtimes i use the kg plates and others i work in pounds. just depends what plates are available at gym given time. its only about 190lbs and i have posted lower numbers before. was so so easy as start of new cycle.
cheers 4 kind words mate

davie

mate hurt it lifting it out kinda dumped it on me and i was feelin dead strong and building up steadily. ah well c'est la vie
-
My squat is horrendous too, I have not squatted in years (and even then it was probably only a handful of times). I went from quite a lot on the leg press to having trouble squatting 100kgs (all the way down)
Ego went out the door that day :)
-
Front squats, going all the way down, will help you with the form on regular squats.
You'll never see a Olympic Weightlifter with shitty squat technique.

I would defnitly hit it.
-
Goudy you are awesome. Wow!
-
I have been a way a long while focusing on somethinmg which i may be good at though not excellent...Powerlifting . Won a bench competition and have qualified for the World Champs. I expect to get my ass handed to me as it is not a drug tested federation but a well at least i can say i was there.
Anyway this is the start of my new section which i will update as per usual with my pics and weights i lifted. videos will also be included via youtube as this suits most people. however the quality of pics and vids is much much better. For 9 weeks the weights will be modest and training may seem daft though i do have a plan so bear with me folks. Pics and videos starting tomorro. Once again i appreciate all your comments questions and criticisms
Goudy.
-
your routines are idiotic.....go pick up a M.D. and read all the routines and pick one that you like best.......it will help a lot. also....it looks retarded to have such big front delts with such a small chest and tiny side/rear delts.... i suggest you stop training them and start your shoulder day supersetting shrugs and rear delts untill they are both fried to the max, then do a few different movements for side delts.. then on chest day pre exhaust with some flys and stick to dumbells because right now im sure your front delts are doing all the work.

see Candidate, not to flame but thats your problem.. You take what is written in the mags as gospel... I believe 90% of the routines published in flex or MD or for that any other mag as b.s. my two cents.
-
Sup g?
-
Awesome Goudy congratulations! Tell us the updates! What kind of numbers you lifting now? Bench Squat Deadlift?
What are you waiting go upload all the new stuff!
-
Good on you, Goudy. So, why did you make the move to Powerlifting?
-
Sorry i been neglecting this to be honest i just been lazy.
I am an oipportunist and a a good friend decided to eneter a PLing comp. it was the irish nationals. we wnet down and won thus qualifying for the world champs in limerick, ireland in just over 4 weeks. and yes i am in it. i am only doing thebench press though.
this is only to get pling out of my head and all my trianing has been powerliudting in recent months. im bigger a bit and a lot lot denser and most importanmtly stronger. im still natural all the way. once the worlds are over i gonna focus 100pc on total natural bbuilding and c what i can make of myself. gonna put heart and soul into it and make a huge section on this dedicated to it. its all planned out.
this is not a permanant move to pling, just a pit stop. while im not 100% suited to it i am 100% suited to bbuilding so ill give it a real go. glad some one finally replied to this thread. ill def take some pics tomorro and post tomorro evening.
hey body hows things.
alexxx good to see you are still about.
one reason i aint been on getbig is cos its so big on my screen for sum reason. writing everything is big. its just so annoying ive been staying away fropm it. does anyone know how to fix it??
also i bought an ragex single ply bench shirt and can neone give me all the advice they can to get the most out of it. less than 4 weeks and id love to put up a big number.
dead is goin great prop around 250-60kg. i am only doin the bench press comp oin limerick and so have been doin 20 rep squats for legs. bench is goin great tho not sure of real number. any wuestion etc give me a bell. missed thi splace and sum one helpo me fic this screen!!!

No problem bro! I bet it was your sister that switched the setting. ;D
-
I'd say 180 but those shoulders belong on a 220 pounder! What does he military press?
-
well he weighs 150-54 soaking wet at min had a lot of probs and training hasnt been great. shoulder presses maybe 100lb dumbells for 6-8 reps i dont know thats a rough guess.
-
Dammmn man thats freacky!!
-
lol Goudy you look way bigger than before. I think you also gained a little fat but definitely more muscular! Good work!
-
yea prob a little more fat tho not a huge amount. had to focus on strength tho and less volume so you get my drift. that guy i posted is a good friend of mine a world class drug free multi record holder etc. his lifts are immense
-

Nice lift Goudy! I remember last time you had your journal you where struggling with 250 x 5 or so, that is an awesome gain! What do you attribute this too?
-
cheers alexx i attribute this to siomply doin a proper PLing routinre for amonth or so. i also started doing shoulder presses. hows things goin wi you alexxx
-

Cool man. I just started doing DC training again. Lower volume with higher weight and am pleased with the gains I am getting. My upper body is finally cathing up with lower. :)
-
just kinda hope that this section taks off as it has done in the past. 4 weeks today till the worlds and training like fuck for it lol. v tiring though!!
-
Lookin strong Goudy! Keep it up! Your buddy has some crazy shoulders in that back shot!
-
That 150 lber at 6 ft is very impressive!
People need to take note of bodyweights and realize that a low bodyweight means you can easily look incredible and be incredibly strong.
What are your lifts Goudy?
My bests were 370 Lb bench, 500 Ass to floor Squat, 600 lb deadlift.
I have hit those lifts in the lower 200s (207-210) and also at 235-238.
-
Oh and congratulations Goudy.
-
cheers andonis appreciate it. yes ppl do need to take account of things such as bone structure b/w. he has been plagued by injury past few months. thing is at his best is is noticeably bigger and cut tho weights about the same. he has also qualified for the worlds.
squat i am just doin 20reps ass to grass. shit tho probaly around 350max. deadlift around 550. i was a way for a few months and missed the mr getbig tho u looked very well. great effort man
-
bring your elbows in when you bench. Congrats on changing to powerlifting which is a real sport.
-
First before i post a pic is a pic of my mate paul. he is 6 foot tall and has not trained shoulders at all in over amonth and a half. only trained lats sparingly past 2 weeks. he never trains arms.
what weight do you think he is and how ya think he looks. hes a world class athlete.
6 Feet 154 WHAT A BEAST!!!!!!!Is he friends with billyguns and trained by Palumbo????
-
well a world record holder and multiple world champ.
may i ask your credentials please?
-
Goudy's a freak! Great work! How long have you been lifting?
-
since september 03 for 2 months with machine weights. then i was sick and didnt touch them till jan 04. in which i dropped 2 stone. had a few less serious recurrences but every now and again get knocked for 6. almost 4 years now man.
time flies
-
Goudy, you look huge....
-
When you gonna post up your routine crazy guy :D
-
holee fucken shit goudy your looken stacked bro :o
-
you guys look great! one dude is huge but needs to cut desperatley to show the definition, but that other dude is very ripped looks awesome
-
they were bad pics my mate is a freak. wait to u see tehse pics later.
-
Great work goudy!
Keep tearing it up!
the pause and press technique makes the lift twice as hard...good training methods.
8)
-
what do you weigh right now Goudy? You natural?
-
i dont train arms
If you want a big bench press you should be training arms. Tons of tricep work and hammer curls especially.
-
100% natural dont even take creatine. weigh around 99-100kg <220lbs
well i do weighted dips
-
hey are you the guy who did gironda stuff?
-
:)
Goud, we've already seen your face. Don't have to hide it :P btw, is that a swasticka over your face?
-
lol a swatstika.
just lettin y aknow folks things goin well with trianing tho i do feel slightly drained a lotta the time. ah well only 3 and a half weeks to go time to put up or shut up.
bench goin great. deadlift too. took a week of squats cos hurt groin. be back doing it on friday. maybe tomorro all being well. ill just lower weight slightly then build back up

-
thank you fella. i have to stay under 220lb no matter what for my next comp. kinda hard espec since been eating like hell and doin big compound moves
-
yeh iv been about but i noticed u hadnt been?!
Rugbys goin ok, missed couple weeks with medial ligament strain, but had kick ass leg session today, leg raise and front squats wer great, then actually felt faint after at least 2 out of 3 of my leg press sets, + at least one of my SLDL sets, was actually pretty awesome lol. Intensity hehe.
Seems uv managed to put on more size now that uv focused more on powerlifting, do u think ur change away from just bodybuilding and to powerlifting has been the difference??
Whens ur next meet?
davie
-
what exactly is your routine like goudy, id love to give it a try, how many days a week you tarining ect.
-

Il Pm u with my routine, let u give it a wee looksy, i like it at mo, like urself iv cut down on volume aswell tho i am only i gym 3 days a week due to rugby training.
Do u think ur bodybuilding type training will be that different to what ur doing now?? i mean if ur able to get alot stronger at the moment +ur getting bigger then i cant imagine ud wanna change that much??
And of course u wer missed, wee missed ur trainnig log and the irish charm lol.
davie
-
what's your competition weight? maybe that will shut some people up who say there is no such thing as natural over 200 pounds
-
it is 220lb quite lean not competition lean. if i was id be maybe 200 on the button maybe less. then again i never have trained for size so god knows how big id get if i did. at 230 id look maybe how sum look at 260-70.

-
also to gibber, never done the girponda stuff. dont really know much about him. ill throw up some pics tomorro after i train and maybe sum vids
-
hmm there was a big dude here who used to follow some of gironda's training and diets. guess it wasn't you.
-
big dude sure wasnt me. i remember the thread though i think was it in the training section?
-
what's your competition weight? maybe that will shut some people up who say there is no such thing as natural over 200 pounds
you have to remember that Goudy is 6'3" so on someone 5'10" or an inch taller that equals around 190, Goudy is very impressive though, very good build and good strength.
-
squadson you've owned yourself by backing this adonis stuff. you still say you weigh 230? by those standards you're a fatty fatty pig fatty. you made fun of people way bigger than adonis for so long now since the squad has to support each others' crap whether they are right or wrong (children with no confidence). how about how you'd make fun of people saying that they ate the very foods your boy endorses now? why'd you change your name anyway?
-
as promised 2 vids from yesterday one benching 300ish 5 reps paused with a gay little jump at the end lol
another deadlifting 205kg/451lbs for a single just for fun in another gym that day
bench
dead
-
awsome goudy i see you have the technique down for bench, something im trying real hard to do, when i do get in the grove i seem to beable to lift atleast 30 ponds more but sometimes my elbows flair out and the bar gets away from me
-
jezzzuz chris buoy you maned that weight up looken big mayne :o
-
just takes practise man. i got a good arch. ass never leaves bench. find ur own routine way of gettin in position and keep doing it.
also my elbows flare out a bit though my tris are very very strong and that helps me lol
wat u lift?
-
well im 19, 5'9'' down to 193, trying to cut down to 185. my bench is 315 for 1 but my form suck, squat 335 for 1 ass to the ground, deadlift 455 for 1. i enjoy bench and deads but hate squats, however after reading this site ive come to learn squats build your entire body and sence doing them heavy and deep all my other lifts have increased. my goal is to hit 315 for 10 reps on the bench and 500 for 2 on the deadlift,
-
ill try to borrow my pals camera phone and get some 16 sec vid of my bench and dead
-
class lifts man and ur pretty ligh for those weights. how old are ya,
i startiung natural bbuilding after this wee comp and i intend to literally explode with size.
wanna get 315x20 rep squat in next year or so. 600 dead is getting closer and a 400 bench is a good bit away though. next goals are arms 19" cold flexed. well....when i start training them
-
im 19, wrestled my whole life so got some strength from that, ya i wa sup to 200 about 4 weeks ago but started to feel fat, plan on competing in my first pro fight in about 7-8 months depending on my progress so im starting to get my weight down and cardio up, right now im lifting only 3 days a week,

squat 5 x 5
chin ups 4 x 8-12 (with weight)
dips 4 x 6-10 (with weight)

-
19 inches cold is awsome goudy, right now my arms are 16, and exactly 16 hopefully i can get them up to 18 one day unfortunatly i have a wide waist due to alot of heavy oblique work so even when im dieted down for a fight and my abs are popping my waist is still large i would never make it in bodybuilding.
-
dead
You smoked that lift. Probably could have gotten a double, maybe a triple. Good lifts.
-
Goudy did you see my last question for you?
-
ah i see it now. i missed it guibber sorry.
i used to do t bars tho now stopped about 6 months ago cos i was using sloppy form and hurting shoulders.
all i do now for back is deadlifts and chins. leaner u are too gives appearance that its more developed.
any more man?
-
cool. since i've started training i've gotten wider and a little thicker lats but if i do a back double bi there's nothing. the lat spread looks much better. i noticed that my middle back on both sides of the spine going down are really flat, there's a lot of nothing.
As far as training since I work out at home now i only do barbell rows and deadlifts. I've got a bench that inclines, squat rack, preecher bench, leg extension/curl. ez bar and olympic set and dumbells.
-
why not go to a gym man?
-
money
-
ah i get ya man. is there no dungeons with basics about they are everywhere. kjust gotta find them.
-
the equiptment i got is ok. it's got all the basiccs except for dips and pull ups which i'll get something for soon. i just don't have any cables to work with.
-
you're MASSIVE man holy shit
huge upperbody
gg's bro
-
i currently live in the city of rochester. the gyms here are ultra pussified.
-
Hey Gib a pull up dip station imo is essential. build an immense body with these exericses. dont need cables man
tombo thanks very much man
also gib seriously gyms are hidden everywhere tho i fully understand whgere u are coming from. where exactly is rochester...new england?
-
Mags are the last place any one should go for info! There agenda is mostly sell stuff.
Lookin a lot bigger than last time I was here good job Goudy!
-
2 pics from today. not pumped a lot tho to a certain extent.
did 3 sets of dips, 2xboard presses, 2xbench press and 2xsquat
all i done.
criqique please for when i start training for size.
tiny.........just quit, ur never gonna get big lol.
Very impressive bro, talk about low volume. how long till u kick ass at the worlds??
davie
-
2 weeks on sunday. though my last workout will be thursday week. 2 days rest then boom!!
doin a 5-4-3-2-1 peaking routine here in town at min on internet cafe goin to gym in maybe an hour. still bench pressing everday. feel slightly drained but god do i feel strong. ill try get some more pics today.
-
thanks man. I have a john goudy 3rd blood section on this forum too
-
Man, you are getting HUGE! Excellent lifts and progress.....keep going bud!
-
first pic is totally relaxed back, its ok
second is a crappy front pose i suck at thius pose look narrowish
3rd is a bicep shot looks ok tho chest is not great looking(never was tho) left is relaxed
You like many others will have certain poses that make u look better than others or show ur muscles better. Some poses might make ur chest seem non exsistent while other might make u appear to have full round chest. Just gotta keep taking pics and asking for feedback and ul find out.
davie

Goudy is my new hero.
-
thanks gib and davie.
hope not beingg sarcastic gib lol

Very impressive as always Goudy.
I really wish we had a gym like that down here...
Keep training hard!

-
thanks man,
always sed overload wudnt mind training with ya ya have a good head on yer shoulders and have similar goals to me
-
i was exagerating but not being sarcastic. Goudy knows so y'all out der betah listen and learrrn. Respeck! You gonna enter any contests soon? i wonder how you look dieted.
-
u got some weird proportions bro! but, u look real big! 8)
-
lol thanks wat u mean weird proportins. in what way man. just curious
-
WOW one of the very most impressive naturals ive ever seen! :o
-
lol wud not go that far by any stretvch of the imagination but thanks
-
Looking good bro. I read a few magazines.......who gives a s**t what their trying to sell. Their routines do give you some good ideas....especially when changing things up every once in a while is critical. You cant believe everything they say or anyone else for that matter since everyone is different. For me their a good tool for motivation.
Now Goudy, what kinda s**t you on? ;)
-
Good luck Goudy. You have our support!
-
Well I finally got the shit sport of powerlifting out of my system.
Haha. I am doing a PL meet in seven weeks. Lets see if I have the same opinion as you when I am done. Congrats on your silver medal.
-
good job goudy congrats cant wait to see what you produce with a bodybuilding routine
-
Congratulations bud! I am sure you are going to be a killer natural! GO FOR IT!!!!!
-
In this instance, you're a joke Goudy.
Why? Because you never trained for powerlifting, used some bodybuilding routine to prepare for powerlifting, and then bitched about it all.
If you want to compete in powerlifting, lift heavy weights, then train like a powerlifter.

u idiot i used a powerlifting wave cycle to prepare for this. you are teh joke. yes i bitched about it but because the sport is being turned into a joke.
thats y it will never be in the olympics.
unless it is raw and drug tested.
thanks for kind words from rest of the non idiot replies.
-
Haha. I am doing a PL meet in seven weeks. Lets see if I have the same opinion as you when I am done. Congrats on your silver medal.
in fact to be fair it is not a shit sport i am just not cut out for it that much. plus the workouts and training for it seem more like a chore than fun.
good luck man also let us know how ya do
-
Congrats goudy...remember powerlifting is a lifestyle just like bodybuilding. it takes years to get good at it and not hurt yourself. i haven't had an injury yet but my wrists hurt like a bitch sometimes...
whatever you decide to do you will do well at...it's all about personal preference.
i don't know what's wrong with hedge, i thought you used a powerlifting layout the last time i checked.

wise words appreciate them overload.

Funny, thats how I started to feel about BBing after a couple years. I guess its all about finding whats right for you.
I have only been PLing for a short time but I think I found my nitch!
Good luck, Goudy! Im sure you'll do well. ;)
-
IMO, a natural lifter with Goudy's frame and height won't be in his final weight class until the mid 20's-late 20's.
Goudy has the strength and height for strongman, I've stated this in the past.
To see him train for aesthetics instead of optimizing his strength, it's just a big fcuking waste of talent if you ask me.
I would like to see Goudy on a powerlifting routine twice a week, and strongman training once a week. He would be going places.
Goudy bodybuilding? That's fcuked up.

Ah i understand what you are saying man and i take back the sarcastic and idiotic comments.
I see where you are coming from and i apologise. Here are a few pics form today. I will post them in next 5-10 mins

ok please excuse the back pic. i have not deadlifted or chinned or done anyback work (apart from yesterday) in over 2 weeks due to injury.
Upperbody work was restarted on tuesday and today i was benching only 160lbs, gettin back into it slowly. Tho i lost a little size i got a great pump so it might be hard to tell. here are the pics.
You look good, as usual. Keep on packing on the mass.
To get big you need to lift heavy.
To lift heavy, you need to sometimes lift light.
Just up the calories for a couple of weeks, then eat normal for a few.
IMHO, you got no excuses to not be fairly lean at around 250 lbs in a year or so. Just avoid the injuries, and use very moderate volume.
Looking forward to see a mass monster in a few years.

Don't sweat it Narrow-Man.
I'm sure Goudy will excuse your insult due to you having a inferior physique.

We are the exact same height and weight exactly the same.. hmm I tell you Goudy we would make excellent training partners! I have most my weight in the lower body and you in the upper. Perfect match!

Dont turn completely to bodybuilding bro :'(
A strength training routine centered around gaining mass is where its at, especially with someone with strength potential like you. I think this is similar to what u have already been doing, plus doing legs ;D

Ouch Alexxx.... that hurts. Especially after I spent so long writing a sensible post to enlighten your "Thinking of doing a cycle" thread.

PS-she wasn't a Sasquatch.... she was Italian. Easy mistake.
