    Transformation pics

    Hey mate, is it solely you judging or a panel? Will get the pics and stats up after work.

    We're all thinking it..

    That's not a bad idea. It would help if everyone put their comparison pics side by side though (just using paint or whatever). Then you can see who used the same lighting etc as well. In the end though, it's the mods decision anyway. It would be interesting to have a 'people's choice...

    We're all thinking it..

    I'm curious to know as well. I think jchen has some competition though... Unfortunately, losing fat always looks more impressive than gaining muscle - especially when the noob gains have worn off.

    Places to live, ppl to meet Brissy

    Missed this. Nah man, I moved for work. Perth is a bit boring, but the weather is great and the beaches are awesome. I would have quite happily stayed there, if there was any work for me there.

    Training for Strength V. Appearance

    Yeah I know, but it seems to me that if you didn't give a crap about what you looked like and just wanted to get strong, then putting on weight would be the easiest way to go about it?

    What gets you fired up for 1rm pb attempts?

    Yeah you are right. I find it's just like an itch - there is only so long you can ignore it until you have to scratch the fuck out of it.

    Training for Strength V. Appearance

    Love it (and agree). Sure it's a bit of ego, but I like being the odd one out, the one (usually) guy in the room that obviously trains. Mate, I know you have different goals, but seriously, I have shit bodybuilding genetics as well. All muscle insertions finish about half way lol. No...

    What gets you fired up for 1rm pb attempts?

    On topic, I'd agree with this too. I pretty much zone out before a 1rm. So much so, that sometimes I actually forget the lift itself (as in I lift the weight, but can't recall any of the sensations of actually lifting it). It is a bizarre feeling!

    What gets you fired up for 1rm pb attempts?

    I'll admit it is a bit harsh - but I really am sick of the bullshit. It's part of the reason that I don't post here anywhere near as much as I used to. Too much ego validation. People who don't walk the walk, so resort to the internet to tell others what to do in the hopes that they will...

    What gets you fired up for 1rm pb attempts?

    Wow, how did I miss this thread? Oni, maybe if you walked the walk (or even fucking crawled it), people would give you SOME respect or not completely bag out every thing you say. As it stands, you give advice to everyone, post up all kinds of theories (some which may or may not be true), but...

    Brad, currently staying about 10kms west of the city, looking to move closer to the city as i work in the CBD. Sticky, sounds like a plan mate. Re making friends at the gym, i've never really done that. I kinda just go there to train - no fucking about, no chatting, just train. Talking to...

    My weight the last 4 days

    Thanks peeps. Back up to 206 today, still far below my mean body weight though. Yeah I'd say so. I think i've inadvertently been eating WAY below calories too (eating junk food and then overcompensating by dropping too many clean calories) Post of the year.

    Places to live, ppl to meet Brissy

    As many of you are probably aware, I've moved to Brisbane. I still know fuck all people here and am keen to meet others and network a bit. Also, I don't yet know where I am going to live (or even what I am going to do i.e. rent vs buy, lease, sublet etc). So I'm open to suggestions there...

    My weight the last 4 days

    Rider29er - Pretty sure it's not diabetes. AT least i fucking hope not lol Re the lbs, that's because where I am temporarily staying the scales are in lbs. I'll be back to kgs when I"m at my own place. Speaking of which, I just realised I forgot to take my scales over with me. Guess I'll...

    Now WTF is going on here: 211.0 207.8 204.8 203.8 A 7.2 lb loss (3.3kgs) in 3 days! Yes I am looking leaner, but I am not trying to lose weight. I have not been sticking to my diet - in fact, I've been having practically blow out days every day (although compensating by not eating my high...

    2013 comp?

    I'll get some new pics up in the new year as I'm temporarily unable to train. Not like 1-2 weeks off training should make that much difference, but hey, it's going to be hard enough for me to improve as is!
