Instead of bridging on the floor put your feet on a bench and your elbows on a fitball. The ball wanting to roll around makes it just a tad harder
If they ever get too easy just push your elbows away from you more



Posted by: yellowmoomba

Damn Riss - it looks like you are using a chisel on your abs. When are you going to send me "the instructions"



Posted by: PreMier

Yea Riss-- Quit being such a punk at let us see the diet!



Posted by: Rissole

How wierd does that shape of my top left ab look....

YM, show us a pic of your abs.... i cant say anything about my diet cause HAN is doing me a favour
All i do is tues and friday, 3 sets from the top 3 sets from the bottom trying to sick with power/ rep range/ shock styles of exersices,
say for power i will do some form of w8ed crunch, then use a DB between my feet for the leg lift side and always finish with 2-3 sets of hovers.
on a rep range week on w8's and as many reps as posible for the same amount of sets and on shock week i dont take a break, crunch to leg lift to hover with no break ..... it burns
I am also very strict on my crunches, about a 2 count and never come up so far as to engage hip flexors too much..... except for w8ed crunches, then it dont make too much difference.

Posted by: PreMier

Or are you on Vitamin T



Posted by: PreMier





Posted by: Rissole

T as in tight ass??? I take 4000mgs of vit C a day....

Carbs in meal 1&2 virtually none from there, except after training.
20-30mins cardio after train, and "supposed" to walk in the morn or late evening

Why not tell them to get out of there? I would be bitching my head off! My gym only has one (1) squat rack too, and if someone isnt doing squats in it I bitch hard core.

I asked the gym to order another one, and guess what they told me? "We need to order equipment that members will use." I said "What the fuck am I supposed to do, when someone is doing curls in the rack then!?!?!"

Im all fired up now!



Posted by: Rissole

He was a good mate and offered to let me use it but i said not to worry, (i'm nice like that) But then if it was someone i didnt know...... that'd be a different story

What a great weekend
Saturday i went and played paintball and got some doozie bruises!! Might post a few pics I taped my video camera to the side of the gun and ran round like that for about 3 games, got some cool footage.
On Sunday we had Ken Duncan come to Church and do a big presentation of The Passion he took the offical pics for the movie and had a massive 7 mtr screen his pics of Australia are mind blowing. This guy has been Mel Gibsons mate since they were 17 and had some good stories and behind the sceens insight to the movie.
But the highlight was the test drive in a WRX what an awesome car to drive!! Beautiful finish and some serious grunt
I can get the demo that i drove with 830klm's on the clock for 40g's (silver) (brand new the color i want is 47g drive away) and the old man likes it May have it by the end of the month *praying*

Posted by: firestorm

I have to agree that you had an excellent weekend Riss. I hope you get your car bro. You would look smoken behind the wheel of a ride like that.



Posted by: Rissole

Just found out that the demo went on Monday morn I've got $23k residual on the Astra (my other car) and may only get $20k if i sell it private, I'll know what the go is by the end of the week *praying still*
Dont think i should have driven it..... now i'm hooked..... i had WRX dreams last night



Posted by: Rissole

Not good peoples...... doin deadlifts yesterday, 484 for 6 reps about the usual, 2nd set, dropped the w8 to get more reps, 440/8, when i finished i could feel this twinge in my lower back, kinda felt like the usual muscle fatigue though....
So i rack 396 to try and get about 10 as i'm strapping up i thought this back dont feel too good, get my self into lift postion and took some of the w8 and my back is just sayin dont do it Pete.... so being a good boy i listen, but now.... I am in ALOT of pain i can hardly push the clutch in on my crusier and am finding it hard to put my shoes on
Not now.... i am going away in 3 weeks..... what about my leg workouts..... DAMN IT!!



Posted by: J'Bo

my b did the same thing the other day.
do yourself a favor and DONT do back or legs for at least 2 weeks.
Ice then heat (15 min each) then stretch lightly and get in the tub. then ice again. do that 2 times a day and you will be good as new in 2 weeks. dont push it though hun.



Posted by: Rissole

Thanks hun I love you... your good to me
Can i do Leg extensions and Curls?? What about some light leg presses?



Posted by: IainDaniel

Take it easy for a bit Riss. Back is one thing you don't want to fuck with.

Posted by: maniclion

That's it take a year off, eat lots of junk food and drink gallons of beer. Then let's see your av. j/k

Try some Yoga for real, I am not lying, it will get your body put back together. It's sort of like that doll with the string in the back when it's loose the legs, arms and head are dangling all over and then you pull the cord it all comes together again.



Posted by: J'Bo

hope that your backs feeling better rissy.
take care of it and keep icing it.



Posted by: rock4832

Go to the doc Ris and get a Rx for Flexeril. It stops muscle spasms which is kinda what your experiencing. It will help alot in the healing and pain of it.



Posted by: Rissole

YM... DO NOT test drive unless you can get one!!! They are addictive!!

Thanks for your concern all I went to the doc this arvo and he said it's just the ligament, not a disk *whew*, gave me some anti inflamitorys with built in pain killer

RX's arent the answer Rissy can deal with the pain (suck it up Ris) its ice and heat then massage treatments that he needs only.

ICE is an anti- flamatory Ris SUCK IT UP BOY I split my wrist in 2 places and never took a thing.

I'm sorry, your a DR J'Bo? Rx can help very much to STOP the muscle spasms and help prevent it from getting worse or recurring easily again. I see people with Ris's problem at least 10 times a day in the ER. It's not just for the pain.

Its ok not many people know that i am Dr.J'bo i will forgive you. RX's can stop spasms but they are spazing for a reason. RX's all (well most) just mask the problems and people never fix the cause.



Posted by: Rissole

Stop arguing in my journal you 2... sheesh, i feel so loved
I am sucking it up babe I could actually pull my socks on this morning
Getting a new puter this arvo, i should be able to web cam from home soon.



Posted by: Rissole

Ohhh yeah....
I had a dream last night It had 3 IM'ers in it, 2 girls 1 guy and me.
Ok, ya'll get a guess at who they were...
It wasn't erotic (unfortunately) but me and one of the girls did alot of cuddling



Posted by: PreMier

Wish I coulda been there...



Posted by: PreMier

On second hand... Maybe I dont want to be in your dreams



Posted by: Rissole

No guesses PreM?? And no you wernt the guy...



Posted by: PreMier

I know I wasnt in it... Hence the first reply.

I guess Rock, J'Bo, You, Babs?



Posted by: Rissole

3 from 4 pretty good, the last female will be hard.....
Rock may be the only one to guess....



Posted by: PreMier

Which one did I get wrong?



Posted by: Rissole

I was gonna be cryptic in my response but stuff it....
Babs was the wrong answer.....



Posted by: PreMier

Was it Firestorm?


Umm maybe... Jenny?



Posted by: rock4832

Jodi? How did I look buddy? Did I have abs yet LOL?!



Posted by: Rissole

I knew Rock would get it right
It was Jodi.... wierd eh??
There was Rock, Jodi, J'Bo and me all hangin out in Da Land Down Unda, we were just hangin out together, cept me and J'Bo were cuddlin heaps and i was fallin in love with her ears *nibble, nibble*

we went hiking last Sunday. I was looking down this awesome loose gravel slope between trees and such. Good 200 - 300 feet long. She was thinking: Man, I'd hate to slip and fall down that..
Me?
"Wish I had a box to slide down that sucker!"
You ever slid down a bighill in or on a sturdy box? Like sledding in the summer!




Posted by: Rissole

Hell yeah!! We got some kick ass sand dunes around and the camp stories i could tell See jackass and the iceblock sledding

Damn man,,,,,why couldn't you have dreamed me in there somewhere???? Oh last time I talk to you on the phone you jerk!!! I know out of sight out of mind right? just cause I haven't been posting here much lately, your forgetting all about your buddy fire. Oh tay then I'll remember you in my nightmares then Rissy ole chap. hahahaha

ok now I have to go back and finish reading what I've missed in here. I'm looking for updates to your back injury. I'm at the part where you can put your socks on by yourself. I hope it comes around quick for you buddy. I'm rooting for you in spirit in 3 weeks (your contest) I'll be front row hooting and hollaring for ya big guy.



Posted by: firestorm

WEll Riss apparently that was your last back post. HOw is it feeling today? Keep Icing it my man.



Posted by: Rissole

Hey big buddy, i never forget about you ... i just been busy. Weekend has been hellish
New puter, just bought a new printer, no one has called about my car yet
Found out my comp is May 30th so not 3 weeks
Also back feels a tad tight but much better. I think one more week off should be cool, i trained delts and bis yesterday but had to wear a belt cause it was twingin....



Posted by: firestorm

What a crap time for an injury my friend. Shit I'm pissed FOR you. The good news is this.. you have awesome leg size so I don't think the layoff will hurt you much. one thing I'd do regardless.. I'd be giving the extensions a try and see if they hurt your lower back. I doubt they will. I'd suggest keeping the weight light and burning em out to bring out some definition. This could be a blessing in disguise for you my friend. Attempt to start working on bringing out some definition with 10-15 range on extensions. Stay away from Leg curls though.. I'm certain they would irritate the back.

I dont think either of you are slack, i think i've been blessed
I'm the one thats slack and gets results
You 2 do the best you can, Mikey works hard and stuff and Dave your just doin what your told (cept for the posing), give it some time....

Burner, sugar is carbs just the majorly simple version. They all make a difference just when and how much you eat of them.

i'm guessing you are hard at it as well Fire, as far as the group hug, i'm man enough!!LOL



Posted by: firestorm

You guessed correctly Tank. I am hard at it but in all honesty I don't believe my progress will surpass yours or Petes. I won't beat you guys and honestly....I'm cool with that because I did do what I set out to do. My personnel reason for this contest if you remember from my very 1st post was to motivate one another and push one another to reach our goals. My goal was to be bigger, stronger, and of course cut bodyfat. I've done all three although I'm still working hard on that BF. Which is why I say to myself, it aint over until the fat lady sings and never say die. I tend to continue to forge ahead, stay motivated and use these last weeks to trim that body fat down to where I feel better about myself. I'm getting there thanks to all of you. Seeing your pictures (Tank and Pete expecially) continues to give me the motivation I need to succeed. I expect that by April 30,, I'll be able to post The winners example tank, ris, or Rock etc in 1st,2nd,3rd place and STILL be able to say I'VE WON! Afterall the contest for ME is within myself.



Posted by: Rissole

Yeah i'm man enough for da hug too
I feel the same as you Brian, I think after those pics the Tankster is da winner

I'm having a shit attack at the moment..... i feel really small, i don't feel like i'm all that big to start with (i only been training for 2 years....) ahhh whatever.... i'm happy with my body change



Posted by: firestorm

You darn well BETTER be happy with your progression Pete!!! Hey Tank is the man but keep in mind.. he has been in the game long before you. Don't get caught up with comparisons. The game here is comparisons but not with others but with yourself. The whole compition on here was not who looks the best at the end BUT who made the most visual progress with "thier" body over a given time. So the compition was always with yourself really. Hey your right bro. he has lots of size on you and me and if we were all to step on a stage in 3 weeks he would absoltuely blow me away and you would hang pretty darn well with him from what I can see. But for example we take measurements and it turns out that tank or whomever for that matter looks fantastic but only put 1/4 of an inch of muscle on and cut lets say 10%bodyfat and someone else who started with 13 inch arms puts on 2 1/2 inches and gains 20 pounds in muscle and remained low body fat...who would win??? I think the little guy would. His progress as a whole was better even though he doesn't look as good as the other guy. See what I'm trying to get at keeping in mind it's 4:58am here and I'm tired and dying of a nasty cold??? lol



Posted by: firestorm

OHhh by the way you aught to be damn proud of yourself Pete. I sure am.



Posted by: Rissole

Oh i am bro dont worry bout that.... i just feel..... small

Compare this.....http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/at...&postid=500787

With this..... (sorry bout blury pic)



Posted by: Rissole

My quads my quads my quads



Posted by: firestorm

I totally see awesome progress. In regards to quads, I'd suggest staying in the upper rep ranges and really start concentrating on definition. Your thighs are big like tree trunks. Keep dieting and up the rep count to bring out some detail in thos thangs. I do envy that size though bro. I;d kill to have legs like that to sculpt.



Posted by: Rissole

They just look alot smaller in the last pic..... admitadly (sp) i'm not flexing like i normally do, toes out to show more sweep but hey.....
I'm just being critical of myself



Posted by: rock4832

You have nothing to feel small about or not be happy Ris! You and Tank (and Jenn definately too) have made unbelievable progress and look absolutely awesome!! As far as cutting goes you still have plenty of time buddy! And then think about the bulk we're going on when this is over and getting ready for next year! That's going to be great, if you made this much progress- think what next year will bring!



Posted by: firestorm

You tell him Rock. He is nutty. I think he has one of those circus mirrors that show you skinny and short or some sheeeit. hahahahaha. Riss seriously I understand where your coming from. I'm critical of myself as well. That is what drives us. I'm not going to try and talk you out of feeling that way because all that would do (if it worked) is give you a reason to become a bit laxed or complacent. I want you to be the best and if that means being critical then so be it. As I stated "honestly" you size is simmetrical with the rest of your body but require detail. That is my opinion as to where you need to start focusing on. Kick ass bro and take no prisoners.

Posted by: rock4832

Gonna miss ya Ris! Get the package yet?!? You better get 'fore you leave!



Posted by: Rissole

Thanks Dave I'll do my best to get access while i'm away and give trip updates and what i've done for workouts

No.... no package Now i've only got Monday for it to get here bloody Australia post.... they better have not lost it!!
If i miss it i have a mate looking after my house while i'm gone (yes, everyone over to trash the joint) he can post it up to where i'm staying.



Posted by: Rissole

Friday's workout was heavy Delt and bis
was hurryin so i didn't write anything down

Seated Smith press x3
Arnold presses x3

Standing BB curl x2
Inc alt curl x2
CG Chins x1

Got really pissed off too, i had to work at the gym for my mate and he asked me not to drop his clients w8's..... 1 of the girls he's got lifting 44lb BB curls and she's only a newbie..... i asked him why and he said "I'm tryin to build a strength base in them" How can you build a strength base in them when their muscles aren't doing FOM???
Almost all of his clients asked me how much i charge...... they prefer training with me......
Consequently i wont train anymore of his clients because they are under my duty of care when i'm training them and if i cant do what i think is right with them then he can get stuffed!!



Posted by: rock4832

That sucks man! I'd rather train with you too! If I don't see talk to you before you leave, have a great trip buddy!



Posted by: Rissole

Thanks Rock, i'd rather train with you too, and Mikey, and Brian.....



Posted by: yellowmoomba

Have a good trip!!



Posted by: firestorm

That would be awesome.. All of us going to some fitness resort, training, eating together!!!!!! That would be so fuqing cool. Now that sounds like an excellent job opportunity. I wonder how much work and money it would take to start something like that. You know like a drug rehab center but for people trying to get into shape!!!! 1st thing I'd do is hire about 6 people from here. Riss, Rock, J'Bo, Gopro to name a few. that would be awesome. Train the weenies by day and then hit the gym together at night. Who wants in???? lol



Posted by: Burner02

yo! Bri!
You DO still exist!
Sign me up! I will be the 'stage 1' guy...sorta muscular, ut soft.
