A pic

Rocky · 10-18-2005, 07:04 AM

Hey all, here's a couple of pics I took the other day since I've started training properly again for the past couple of months. I'm 6' 1", not sure on weight - I'll get back on that.
Could do with some tips for bringin up chest and thighs - struggling in my garage gym to find a squat replacement other than deadlifts!
Plus, any good suggestions to aid someone with a super fast metabolism to gain weight!
Any criticism will be appreciated (i'll just cry myself to sleep!)
Also, excuse the hair - it was a dare to get it done like Mr T. I've got rid of it and the beard now.

Let me know if you can get the pic ok - not sure if I'm uploading it right or not!

looks real good man the mohawk is cool

Looking great Rocky! Nice arms. :)

What about Single Leg Split Squat for Quads?? Obviously its hard to replace squats but I think these hit your quads pretty well. You can do them with dumbells also. The below link has a video and description:

Please keep us posted with more pics!!! :)

I'm 26 - 27 in a couple of months. Cheers for the feedback. Never really sure how I've come on as it's so gradual it's difficult to see.

Thanks for the side squat tip Banshee - will give it a crack in my next session. Now I know how to post pics, will stick on a couple more here - alas still with the mohawk!

Any ideas on bringin up chest - keep getting a plateau on bench, whether it be close grip, bar-bell, dumbbell, incline, flat, decline, but will I get growing results with dips and flyes? Hope you're all well, speak soon!

looking great bro...

your in very good condition buddy,
great physique all around.... not sure about the legs but everything up stairs is A OK!!! lol

skywalker · 10-21-2005, 05:10 PM

Good build and cool haircut! Keep up the hard work!

Rocky · 10-22-2005, 02:46 PM

Thanks for the comments! Trust me - there's a reason I'm covering my legs - major weak area! I only do this for personal pleasure and to challenge myself - I should appreciate the fact I've got ok conditioning, but that's just cos' I struggle to put on weight so I always look like this - makes it really hard to get big though! Can't wait till I'm middle aged so my metabolism slows down - I may get a pot belly yet! ( God I hope not!)

Rocky · 10-22-2005, 02:47 PM

Starting to think I shouldn't have shgaved the mohawk off now - ha ha ha!

pickle · 10-22-2005, 11:23 PM

hahaha BEST~ HAIR ~ EVER! oh and great physique ur chest ****s all over mine so do ur arms. When i used to train at home id clean a weight and just do front squats for legs. it was pretty groovy i still value front squats above anything else. Oh walking dumbell lunges u could do as well

Rocky · 10-23-2005, 07:55 AM

Might give walking lunges a crack - doing power luinges at mo, but no doubt I'll hit a plateau soon so will swap to walking version then. Only prob about any form of squat is getting the weight up to start! Don't know if I can clean the weight I used to use for squats up! Still, some is better than none I suppose. Thanks for the comments about the pics - It was just carefully positioned lighting!!

DaeguDave · 10-23-2005, 09:29 AM

Very nice arms, Rocky. You're conditioned as hell, too.

Good on ya'.

Rocky · 10-24-2005, 12:27 PM

Thanks! Trying to bulk up a bit more now! Proving to be very difficult!

Rocky · 10-27-2005, 01:11 PM

Hope I've done this right again. Got a new pic done. Think I've come on a little bit since the last pics...

You have an excellent build.

Keep up the great work.

Thank you.

De_battre · 02-11-2006, 03:10 AM

What do you do for chest now? Have you already posted your routine on these boards somewhere?

Cheers.

Fixed.

Q80_MuscleHed · 02-13-2006, 01:26 PM

LoooL at this pic Rocky .. Ruhllllllllll :)

Rocky · 02-13-2006, 02:38 PM

Thanks for the comments people (excluding JornT of course!)

De Battre - My chest routine along with all my other training is all in my log in the log section! :)

I really don't like looking at these pictures now - and not just because of the tramp style beard and Mr T hairdo!
When I'm a bit bigger (a lot bigger - if my bulking ever works!!) I might venture some more pics!
At least it will give people a bit more to butcher with photoshop!

miniduck · 02-14-2006, 03:47 PM

You look to be in great shape. I recommend:
1) shaving the mohawk (sorry)
2) incline bench presses for chest (didn't check your log)
3) posting pics of different poses, such as front double bi or a back shot

Rocky · 02-14-2006, 04:06 PM

Miniduck cheers for the feedback. Just for the record:

1. No more mohawk - was only a joke and it lasted 4 days! :)
2. Incline bench first in my chest session always! (at least for quite a while now anyway)
3. Hate the pics I've posted now - I look too small! Will post pics in the not too distant future (hopefully!) when I look better!
