Sam is now (Feb 16th) 16 - he will be 17 in the summer (2007). He's now in Cambridge and has gained considerably in shoulders - (Traps Deltoids) and arms. Currently using heavy weights he is building up mass. Also a new short haircut as well! |

How and why I started. Progress to now. |

When I first started bodybuilding I was quite skinny at about 9st, now I am 11st.7, I know some of the weight will be from growing taller and as I am still very young.
Any way thanks for your reply! I would like to have a part
within your site. I have attatched a couple of photos to this email
which were taken a couple of months back, but will get some new ones
taken and will send them in. I have |

Overhead press. |
Dead Lifts Start, (above) Finish. (below) |

These are some max lifts/stats: Barbell curl: 55kg, Bench press: 105kg x 5 reps, squat: 95kg (havent tried any more because didnt have enough spotters), clean and jerk: 75kg. Note:- here Sam is using an Olympic bar - much heavier than a plain bar. Note the stands in this shot and below. These hold the bar in a safe position. It is also possible to do squats with a similar setup. |

If Biceps are trailing, then switch exercises, perhaps on an inclined bench. This allows a fuller range. Also perhaps preacher curls - the arms cannot "swing" the weight in this exercise. |

Jan 2006 I'm liking my biceps a bit more now, Ive been using my preacher curls bench for my main exercise for a bicep work out, along with dumbell curls etc. |

Sam isn't fully tensed here, but we can see the quads are just beginning to show and calves look well too. A second shot shows them too, but is not included here. Note the EZ type bar with quite a considerable loading! I'm interested in what exercise and how many reps that was for! Also note the "Preacher" bench to the right. The arm rest is adjustable - most important to get the height right. This bench allows isolation of the arms and no cheating. It is useful to have a "spotter" when using heavy weights on this bench. Gyms often have a catch rack in front of this apparatus. |

I see you was wondering what exercises I was doing with the ez bar loaded with that weight (60kg), It was shoulder presses standing up. I find the grip better on one of them bars right at the end rarther than a normal barbell. I am getting a lot stronger rarther than putting on more muscle I think this is probably because I have been training with heavy weight and low reps for the last couple of months. |
About 6 months ago I started a strength training study for p.e and then I could deadlift 110kg and now I can do 165kg, but I have been practicing technique as well etc. June 2007 Sam is in the "bulk" phase at the moment.. |
