When I Started:
2006
How I Started:
Started by wanting to bulk up for rugby, then as rugby became more political and less about how well you play i carried on training and decided to try build my physique up and to be the best i can be.
Why I Love It:
The feeling that comes from being able to look back at a training log and seeing the lifts increasing over time and by looking in the mirror and seeing how my physique changes over time.
How I Stay Motivated:
By being able to see week after week how the weights on the bar and on the scales increases bit by bit and how these small increases in the long run leads to larger increases.
BB Accomplishments:
Forum Signature:
Small increases multiplied over time lead to a HUGE increase.

What KeepRepin Is Up To:
Nov 1, 2009
KeepRepinis inspired by thenaturalone. Reason: "Awesome physique ripped to shreds with amazing strength to go with it. Another perfect natural role model for anyone and everyone. "
i want to bulk to get to 16 stone and then from there rip up while staying at the same weight so that ultimately il be 16 stone at 6-8% bodyfat. I would like to be able to Bench 150 kg and Squat and Deadlift 200 kg all for about 10 reps, once these goals are reached i will continue to get stronger.
Awesome physique, great strength and a real inspiration to carry on training hard and heavy and the fact that he is natural makes it even more of an inspiration.

Yes
What is your favorite protein powder?
Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey/100% Casein

What is the best type of protein for you?
Whey Protein
Why is this type of protein best?
I like the whey protein as it is the protein that i seem to gain the best on when taken upon waking and pre+post workout. I like casein protein just before i go to sleep to ensure i don't become catabolic.I like the whey protein as it is the protein that i seem to gain the best on when taken upon waking and pre+post workout.

I seem to have reached a plateau in both the weight im gaining on the bar aswell as on my physique. Training is becoming boring due to the same old day in day out im stronger than when i started and still gaining slightly but not as much as i would like to. Due to this fact i have decided to...
LOL.. I suppose it's a trade-off: decrease in hunger for a nice tan.. it could be worse mate! LOL.. just keep your protein, non-starchy carbs and healthy fat intake high, that should keep you going (sorry but that means no fish and chips, ale, but east as much mushy peas as you like) hahaha
Excellent! increases in strength are always a good sign, specially when you maintain the same weight.. that will mean conversion to more lean muscle ! Yes I understand about getting enough cals during the summer.. here the heat reduces one's appetite but I'm not sure the same reasoning applies in England? LOL ;)
England? Yep, I guess that's not Canada, lol. I just live near Cambridge, Ontario so that's why I asked. Training is going awesome....how 'bout yours? You look like it's going well :)
looked at your overhead press stats. you went from 110 to 170 in 3 months. what was your shoulder routine like that caused that strength spike? I'm on a bit of a shoulder plateau, and any advice would be great. thanks
Hey! Well, I've skipped the gym for the past couple of days because I have a nasty cold. I'm back at it tomorrow, though, no matter how bad I feel. How's it going for you?
Hey congrats on the strength gains! That's a solid bench! it should really pump up the chest :) I wish I could make such a claim LOL but my progress seems to be at a crawl ;)
