| Illuminati | i think you got a good routine going on there mate- i`d probly change some exercises-for example i`d do dips instead of cable push downs and you might find at some point find that training every third day might suit you more-better recovery(i`m 39 btw good to see you have a trap bar-i use one too,best money i ever spent have you read brawn? now if you post up your diet some of the foodies will sort something out for ya! btw i reckon a lean bulk is the way tho go and also that body fat scales arent very accurate- mine reliably tell me i`m 22%... ______________________ einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know. www.englishmuscle.co.uk www.extremenutrition.co.uk |

| Illuminati | then maybe a slight cut then... diet seems good,you just need to adjust calories so youre in a slight deficet-that way you wont lose to much strength. imo always think long term. are you gaining in your training? ______________________ einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know. www.englishmuscle.co.uk www.extremenutrition.co.uk |

| Illuminati | what do you mean by small gains ? surprised more peeps aint jumped in with diet info(diet aint my thang,but i still know it looks ok personally i think training is a more important factor and in a programme lile yours you should be able to add weight to the bar for some exercises for along time. especially squats and deads. have you ever tried lifting deads with trap bar for for 20 rest pause reps? ______________________ einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know. www.englishmuscle.co.uk www.extremenutrition.co.uk |

Squats I,m being a bit more carefull and pushing up the weight slower.Have recently bought a rack, so much safer for squats now. So hope to push on there. I agree the Trap Bar is a great piece of kit. I use mine for the shrugs too.Re the 20 rest pause reps, for the trap bar. I,ve not actually tried that. I think it was advocated in Brawn if I,m correct. Have you found it to be a winner? Yeah, would love some more critical nutrition advice. Someone may come on to it soon hopefully..... |

I'll use what your actually doing now, but as you will see, the alterations are minor so you shouldn't have any problems adhering to it (as its pretty much what your doing now) So follow this for the next few weeks and see how you react.

Finally, quite using those crappy Tanita bodyfat scales, they are the biggest load of sh1te in existance. Just use the calipers. If the pinch is getting smaller...your getting leaner!!
