WONDERFUL BAST IMAGERY

[Nordic Beast]

damn bro u got some sick arms and delts----good work man---------start squatting like a beast and you'll be a true speciman.

[Bast000]

Bast, did you photoshop this picture? Why are your arms nearly as big as your legs? How is it possible that your forearms are nearly as wide as your quads?

Not hating, your upper body looks great. Just curious why you allowed your legs to become so underdeveloped while your upper body grew.

Tore ligaments in knee, that's why legs are behind.  Calves are just genetically difficult to grow.

[Bast000]

You must do something extra from the last workout to make muscle gains.    Whether it be more sets, more weight, more reps or a combination.  That being said I don't plan on doing high volume every workout.

 It will take some experimentation to try and figure out the right pattern.

i dont know what you read exactly... i can tell you that the basis of his training is HIT...he will incorporate high volume training in certain instances.

we are talking about training for the purpose of building lean muscle tissue...for the vast majority of trainees, especially on this level, this is done with HIT.

I have never met one person in the gym that does HIT training. haha, the majority of them dont even know what HIT is. Care explaining this a little bit more?  

[theworm]

we should have a 130 pound jew-boy olympia between Alexxx and this dude.

[Bast000]

Hit will work.  Every training method works.  The question is: which is the fastest?

there are different type of HIT programs...if you have watched dorians blood n guts vid you see him doing a few what he calls warm up sets...then you see him do his one working set...this would be with the heaviest weight he can handle to failure and beyone...the reps are done with strict form in a slow and controlled manner...after a set like that, especially if you have a spotter and take it beyond failure, you are done.

i agree that medium volume training should be used also from time to time...but i think high volume is a waste of time.

heres a quote from dorian on HIT...

"It is the intensity of the exercise that is important not the duration. If you do one set that is adequately intense enough to stimulate any muscle, then you are not going to gain anything, even if you do 99 or 100 such sets. If you do one set that is intense and to failure, then you have triggered the muscle growth.

Doing another set at that point is not going to give you any more. It is just going to make it more difficult for your body to recuperate. So that is the reason for doing fewer sets."

How did you tear the ligaments in your knee?

sample vid of mentzer stlye HIT...if you ever tried this shit you know how brutal it can be.

lol...he tells mentzer he hates him at the end.

[Bast000]

Mentzer was a very smart man, I've read a good deal about him.

[Mobil]

good upperbody... calves non-existant. your quads arent that bad, they have sweep on them. you can transform your legs in a year if you did heavy squats and hacks on them(ass to the ground).

Mentzer died that night after filming that.

Bast, your shoulder size needs to be brought up to match the rest of your upper body, what do you think?

Yes delts are one of the areas I'm focusing on.   Side delts in particular.   Just doing more lateral raises basically and doing drop sets.

[Bast000]

I should have taken all the pics last week, I was much harder.

[gordiano]

All Pro Hormones

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gtbro1]

 Once Bast brings up the hamstrings a little and the calves,he will have the ideal physique. Looking good Bast.

[gatrainer]

Looking good Bast!  Keep it up!

[CQ]

Except for the...err calves...looking very, very good Bast

[rccs]

good pysique. but really, work on calves and hamms.

But, for some people, no matter how hard they train, their calves never develop. I train my calves twice a week, hardcore (nexte day can't even walk) and there is no progression. Believe me I tried several training methods and progression was minimal! But when I juiced I saw a small progression (2 cm even though it wasn't very impressive.) Calves are extremely genetics-dependent! 

[natural al]

hmmmm....we've got pretty much the same build, you're more cut than I am and have a better chest but my delts are bigger and my calves are better......I'll make one suggestion to you, take it if you want if not, no big deal.  I never, ever had any calfs until about 2 years ago.  Now I know you hate DC but if you follow the calf routine to the letter your calfs will grow.  You have to go as heavy as possible.  Even if I decide in the future that DC training is not the way to go I'll always train my calfs in this manner.  I've tried everything and this beats them all.

Take it or leave it...but really, what have you got to loose?

[Rearden Metal]

Regardless, PROPS for entering the contest and following through. Nicely done.
