| Illuminati Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,539 Rep Power:  |  Thanks Garry, err I guess on and off since 16. Started really seriously about 2 years ago. Last six months have been shit as I'm trying to juggle a full time law degree which gets really stressful but last month or so has been good and my diet never slips. I'm 21.5 now so I guess around 5 years. The only reason I really posted these was to let everyone know who they are taking advice off. As in what relative condition I am in. One thing I think I have definately learnt (or rather got rammed down my throat) by you, lol is the value of experience. So I don't really like guys who try to hand out knowledge they obviously don't have. Like if you give anyone advice on bulking hell they have to listen. So I figured this would give ppl a better idea of whether or not to take advice from me. Obviously its not definative I mean I know guys with great knowledge in awful shape and some genetically gifted guys who have never heard of dbol. Seen as I look quite similar to this now any constructive criticism? I promise I can take it this time around  |

Garry what does it feel like to be obviously huge so that when you are strutting around on teh beach, do people look at you amazed? Does that make u a bit self concious or boost your morale? Also, i just wanna add that tom (young gun) is actually bigger than those pictures give him justice for, definitely filled out since they were taken. seriously tom, your arms looks far bigger now.

When i went to morrocco this year i was often wearing a vest because it was so hot. the locals couldnt really believe it because they have very low protein diets out there, shouting like EHHHH BIG MAN and stuff like that  Was in Reading about 6 months ago, this guy dressed as a big pair of ears (yes..) was promoting a charity in the middle of an urban shopping district, he turns round and sees me, started doing double bicep poses and going RAAAAAAAR. i was there with poom at the time. it was pretty funny but embarassing. I get it a bit when i go home too (i.e. essex, where i grew up and went to school ) - last time i went back this girl said to me, who i hadn't seen for 3 years, god nick, i heard you got into bodybuilding but you are HUGE! Its definitely a motivator but sometimes u just wanna blend into the background and not be seen !! Nick ______________________ - Obsession is what lazy people call dedication - |
