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
recently started shredding up (burning all the body fat) as I have not done yet and have been just putting lean muscle on, so I can see what muscle has been built.


Jeremy at 14, not Sam. Jeremy was a lot leaner, or more "cut" as you can see, even at 14.

The page is a combined effort.

New 2009 pic of Sam from MSN

Sam in the Gym in 2005

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.

Biceps comment

Uk Teens Group.

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.

Other info.

Suggested workouts.

My training history.

Personally I want to stay a natural bodybuilder but lots of people at the gym are using steroids.

.

Deadlifts and Shrugs (50K each arm dumbells) explain his improved Traps as seen on webcam Feb 16th. He is much bigger than the 2005 pic below!

Two extra shots.

To Contact Sam

Lat Spread taken late 2005 I think. Sam has not confirmed this. Symmetry is good, though he seems a little distracted, hence the right shoulder is a little lower here.

Sam Comments see pic below.

These are some pics taken of my legs! As you will see they're nothing special as I didn't really train them as hard as I should have last year! However I have set realistic targets for training now, as before I never did. That's probably why I didn't get the gains I wanted! lol

Any way won't be sending any more till later this year when hopefully I will have made some gains/progress!

Looking for similar members now training. Mail the webmaster please.

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..

Bigger or simply better toned?

These are some max lifts/stats: Barbell curl: 55kg, Bench press: 105kg x 5 , squat: 95kg (havent
tried any more because didnt have enough spotters), clean and jerk: 75kg.
