Time for some new pics, ain't it?|

For those of us who are working off the after-effects of holiday parties and mom's cooking, yes- it is time for a little inspiration.

Thank you.

P.S. Post more pics. More often.

I know, plane tickets across the pond must be made of gold..
You're getting there, and faster than I was.


Corny: You're just saying that to get to my bat, aren't you?

 

[Corny]

Wait .. there is something that I can say to get to your "bat" ?

Tell me more ..

 

[3nipples]

I think you can relax Corny, it looks like he's got enough bat to go around

 

[Corny]

I'd offer a ball or two

 

[KaraBulut]

Yeah or made of platinum
kidneys are worth a bit right? I can live with just one can't I?

No in all seriousness Code, what you have done is truly impressive and awe inspiring. it's been 2 years since you started this thread. Look what you have accomplished!
That and all the people you have inspired and motivated!
So I want to thank you for sharing this journey of yours with all of us.
It has certainly helped motivate me! I am sure it had helped others.

Plus your hot and everyone like a little eye candy
Take care Code, and don't let this thread die! some people need it for their health, yeah that's it, their health...

Maelstrom: Thank you!! That is what it's all about. If this thread can motivate someone into changing their lives and live healthier, I'm a happy guy.

I've done some small adjustments in my diet, in that I eat a bit more. It's really hard to balance between not eating enough and eating too much. I'm just experimenting these days.

I'm still following the program from a few pages back, still with gains. I'll have to change it soon though, don't want to keep doing the same things forever.

Front+back pics from today (did anyone request pit pics? Anyway..)

Sure! you have helped me substantially in that regard. The least I can do is show my appreciation. Although one of these days I will have to pay you back for all your help. Got any requests?

Interesting, I am trying the same thing. For me it seems to be a very fine line. Still trying things out.

Well the current program seems to have worked very well. Please lets us know what your new program turns out to be. I switched mine around because the gains had ceased. I will be starting it next week

Love to see how you are doing Code, and I don't think I am alone in this regard.
Keep updating.
Later,

I've said it before and I'll say it again... by sharing not only your brillaint successes Code, but your struggles at times as well, you've given so many guys that little more hope and determination.

Its too easy to think that gains like yours come quickly and without set backs... too many guys want to show us how amazing they look but never the rocky road it took to get there. By showing us both sides at times you've not only achieved some great changes in your own body and character but you've helped others do the same.

I've done some small adjustments in my diet, in that I eat a bit more. It's really hard to balance between not eating enough and eating too much. I'm just experimenting these days.

Another thing you've helped change. So often one body type over another is held up as the right one, the wrong one, the easy one to change, the lucky one or "the one I cant change".

Every body type brings with it its own challenges and rewards. While the focus is often on losing weight gaining it for taller leaner guys presents its own challenges.

Personally I struggle at the point where you are now... finding the balance. The thing with our body types is that we seem to have a fairly exacting requirement for calories or otherwise we suffer in either direction.

Too few and my arms wither before my eyes... too many and my 6 pack becomes a carton in record time. I've resigned myself to seeing my weight bounce around by a few kilos either side of ideal... because it happens so quickly.

I'm still following the program from a few pages back, still with gains. I'll have to change it soon though, don't want to keep doing the same things forever.

At the risk of being presumptuous, try this for a while... its what I call my plateau program... meaning that after bashing yourself for a few months you need to back off for a while. You dont want to go backwards but you need a few weeks or months to let your body recover to build again.

Still use your 3-4 and 8-10 but you should only really struggle in your last few reps in the last sets....

Day1 - Back
Overhand wide grip pull ups
Lat pull downs
Single arm dumbell rows
Seated cable rows
Good mornings

Day 2 - Chest
Incline barbell press
Flat dumbell press
Pull overs
Decline flyes
Dips

Day 3 - Legs
Dumbell step ups
Wide leg squats
Walking lunges
Calf raises
Deadlifts

Day 4 - Shoulders
Dumbell press
Upright rows
Side/lateral raises
Front raise
Shrugs

Day 5 - Arms
Skull crushers - lying tricep extensions
Kickbacks
Towel tricep pulldowns
Seated hammer curls
Alternating curls
Palm over EZ bar curls

Rest days in between with cardio or just breaks as required. To be honest the rest days do me the world of good - its when I see growth.

The idea is that by only doing one body part its got time to recover fully before you hit it again...

And you know what they say... a change is as good as a holiday

Thanks again for sharing your journey Code... its an inspiring and honest journey thats a pleasure to share in.

Thanks guys!

Tallguy: What would I do without you? You have offered me more insight and good advice than I could possibly imagine. I'll try that program, starting next monday or tuesday.

Taking a weeks rest now, because of some eye surgery. Nothing dangerous, don't worry They wouldn't allow me to sweat for the first week or so.
Again, not worried about taking a break. It's not what you do 4 or 5 weeks of the year, but what you do the other 47
