proportion matters

ok tom. you've got a point. i guess it depends on what the physique looks like to begin with. my experience was when i did the novices, i won albeit with weak legs. four weeks later i tore a pec, couldn't train upper body at all for 3 months, but trained legs only 2 times per week. this kickstarted serious growth in my legs and now they're no longer a weakness. a friend of mine had awesome delts that overpowered his physique. a top nutritionist and supplement company owner/ promoter (mmm, who could that be...) told him to stop training them all together for 3 months. he was of the same opinion as me. doesn't mean we're right though, like you say everyone's different, but i still say my method is more productive than yours.

guess we will never settle this. lol
I totally take ure point particularly when referring to delts because this wouldnt restrict overall training too much. Its very different to not train ure delts than not training shoulders, back, legs at all. But i take ure point it most definately depends what he looks like to begin with and what stage he is at bodybuilding wise. Anyway theres no way im arguing with doug (i assume this is who ure referring too) reading some of his posts the amount the guy knows i couldnt learn in ten years.

anyway let us know what u do insane and good luck bro

r u the guy from the pictures ie 'steph sinton'

awesome physique mate if so. On the pose to the right your shoulders look immense (not that they dont on the other aswel). Im only 20 nearly 21 but have been bodybuilding for around 4 years only 1 very seriously thou

cant wait til 21 so i can start thinking about hitting the juice and attempting to get as close as I can to a physique like yours althou i do a full time dergee so not easy (as if its easy anyway). Althou i am really happy with my progress so far im about 2 stone heavier than i was at this point last year. How long did it take u to get to where u r?

Anyway great going and feel kinda daft for questioning ure advice now, but kinda strangely proud that u said i had a point

who did u mean by the way considering i live in manchester for around three months every year. Not exactly up on my competitors considering im only 20

cheers bro
