I'm 76.6kg last weigh in. I wanted to get down to 74kg but no point with Ramadan at the end of June. Anyway , hope you lose some strength as you drop down so I can overtake your bench 😝

Haha I'll take that as a compliment :tongue:

Idk whether I have 6kg of fat to lose tbh, I'm hovering just above where I'll have a visible 6 pack, cold. Once I get that, I cba losing much more as I have no interest in aesthetics beyond being well within the healthy 10-20% bf%.

Idk, if I tense even slightly I can see the beginnings of the linea alba bit with some of the transverse lines of the rectus abdomonis (vet school ****er)... when I say a 6 pack, I don't mean a sub 10% six pack lol :tongue:

Just the mild outline of my abz... however they're still small due to the inability to train them though.

Will get a decent lighting pic at some stage, rather than in gloomy surroundings which kill dat definition

Oh okay lol :tongue:

. TBH I don't think I even have 6 clear abs...upper two are kinda mashed under my ribcage which kinda sucks. These are the pics I posted in my thread at just under 12% from the end of my last cut-

WTF NVM- apparently TSR now has a pathetic limit of 0.5MB per image so I can't upload them...

This is an interesting read for anyone who denies that roids aren't common place in competitive sport....

Yeah just found them myself lol

I can't see them full size as tsr is broken for images for me... from what I can see.. another while yet before I get that far! Probs will just slow bulk/ maintain over summer.. diet control at home is near impossible even with IF due to the home cooking :gah:

Hehehe home cooking is good :tongue:

. But on the plus side my mum has a really small appetite so often can't be bothered to cook anything (though when she does, its a feast and almost always delicious!). This means most days it will be easy to cut! :biggrin:

Also read that article, fantastic! Can't wait to hear how many have tested positive (but I bet it will be all hushed up -.- ...). Might open some peoples eyes.

You can't see them full size? They're "broken" for me too in that they won't load properly unless I try to load them once, then click in the search bar and refresh the page, then click the image again and then it loads fine.

It was 200 apparently in the end that artilce was from November... it was decided not to strip people retrospectively as so many people failed due to the backlash it would have had.

And that works! I can now check you out :wink:

Ha good article. That's for steroids, imagine how it would be for PEDs besides steroids. All those recovery drugs, energy boosters/stimulants, blood boosters and million other drugs that directly or indirectly enhance performance. Are any professional Olympic athletes natural is a better question.

thanks for that, I've been trying to persuade a few friends on this topic. One guy still believes Mike O Hearn is natural.

Never really bothered training abs bcos I'm not lean enough for them to be visible (apart from in some lighting). Is it worth my time do you reckon?

Yeah I'm not that lean either
You deffo should train them hard and often. You need a strong as hell core for all your compound lifts, regardless of aesthetics. Ab rollouts, planks, crunches (weighted) Pavlov press, rotating cable exercise thing are all good :smile:

I struggle to train my core due to my back and it's my limiting factor in Deadlifts I think

im going to do some core work at home tonight, but unfortunately it's always an after-thought for me and a lot of others when it really is important.
