What spiderpants Is Up To:
Dec 8, 2009
spiderpantsupdated Fit Status "3 weeks till dieting for 2010 shows start. 20 w3eeks high protein and very little carbs! cant wait!!!!!"
this is my body shape pre diet. got 17 weeks of high protein dieting to go to get me down to 2% body fat on show day.
i'll keep uploading weekly progress pics.
got a show in 2 days time and my main focus show in 8 days. still dont feel ready but will work towards it
last year i managed to reach 3% bodyfat. this year im going to try and go as low as 2% for show day.
Goal (Long):
to train and gain lean muscle over the next year or two. i dont like bulking up mass.
may also be focusing on getting an MMA fight withing the next 12 months too. depends how well i do at my show on May 17th 2008
just have a watch of Eds posing routines and tell me you dont want to get up on stage and ooze as much confidence and get as good a response from the crowd. this guy could win best posing routine if there were any categories for it.
How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you to be a better parent?
im intending to teach my kids the MMA and kickboxing i know as the world is turning into a shit place and want them to have the best possible cahnce to look after themselves if they need it

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Description: me doing a personal best of a 505kg leg press! soon to be beaten
matt oneil 560KG leg press
Played: 76
Description: real leg pressing 560kg for a few reps.
no hands used and full deep leg press
Matt O'Neil 630kg leg press
Played: 48
Description: leg pressing 630KG for 3 reps. the rack was full so had bother keeping the additional weights on as you'll see. could have repped more if it was stable. going to try for 660Kg before the end of February
You're probably right ... and it's even more ridiculous when one realizes you can probably bend 1/2" rebar into fancy sculptures in 20 seconds flat, too :)
hey Matthew...glad to hear from you.well,I have just recovered from shoulder injury.I'm working very hard now.I want to pack on some more mass while staying lean....I train legs very well thanks leg press....and U big man?
Hi Boss!! In the middle of a long vacation. The days at home I get to work out a lot more ... at least I'm working out on the elliptical trainer a lot more! When on the road it's fighting to eat well. :)
That's a busy schedule Mathew. Hopefully it all balances out. Best of luck and enjoy all the time you have in the gym and all the time that you have with your family.
That some good goals to have bro! Keep up the good work and pushing! Keep me posted on your progress! As for me, my weight loss has been really slow but I am still pushing... trying to be like you :)
thanks man, insane profile pic..i'm just trying to get up there to the 190's...i'm gonna visit some friends in chiswick later this year...so i got be ready cause all those guys are like 200 & up
hey, no bother havnt seen many ayrshire bodybuilders about on here.
Really trying to bulk up the now, any tips on how much cardio i should do and for how long..
Training for next year has begun already, eh :) Reading your latest blog sounds like you aren't happy with the legs .... well, if you want to get rid of them just pass them this way ...I'll take those quads, hams and calves any day!
Wow! Didn't know that ... congrats. Tell me, do doctors follow you around from fight to fight knowing they'll be picking patients in the shape of your former opponents? :)
didn't know you were in MMA? Can you enter the fight w/o breaking the guy's jaw or arm? You're obviously going to have the muscle (and probably strength) advantage with whom you go up against.
