Cheers bud,in a bit of a situation at the moment though as my training has taken a turn. So i can see me losing some size and shape. Most of my workouts are about conditioning and cardio,with only 1 a week focosing on weight lifting. Looking to join the Royal Marines,and theres not much place for muscles there! I also keep eating like a mother f***** as well latly lol. Hopefully i wont gain too much fat, but ive upped my cals quite a lot due to my training.

Never fail to depress me mate makes me feel a right chubster when i see how much muscle your carrying to fat,

Cheers mate,your comments much appreiciated! Im probably smaller in real life than youd imagen! But im quite happy with what i currently have! Just wish i could eat more knowing id not get fat! It took me 2 years of training to get an ok level of muscle for my size,then a few months of hardcore dieting and some serious strength reduction.Feel a lot better now though!

good pics man

Good luck in the royal marines, you actually applied yet or are you thinking about it?

**SamForrest** · 23-01-2008 07:08 PM

Cheers mate. I applied last year,spent all year training and got to the PRMC in september (3 day selection) and then had to pull out due to shin splints. Had them quite bad and they are still lingering after 6 months or so. So when i re-apply hopefully within the next couple of months ill have to go through the tests again (Medical,PreJoining Fitness Test etc) but thats no biggy,main thing is trying to train at the moment without hurting myself.

My trainings been quite constant though,and its hard to judge whats a good session with an overthe top one thats going to do me more harm in the long run!

Last week was a bit hectic granted,but as an example here was my training for the week.

Monday- Work Capacity 101 (Rosstraining.com workout) lasting 20minutes ,finished with some PowerOver pressups
3 Sets of sandbag shoulders
3 Sets of sandbag clean and press
Core and Balance workout (Mainly Core routine with and using homemade gymnast rings etc)

Tuesday- 30 Min interval bike session
1000m Swim
Sports massage

Weds- 5x5 Deadlift, Squat and Bench
3 xrounds on the heavy bag
Rope Pull Ups

Thurs- 30 Min interval bike session

Fri- Pyramid bodyweight circuits
400m Swim
Work Capacity 101 circuit (killer again!)

Sat- 3x4 min rounds on heavy bag with burpees and up downs inbetween
Ab Rollouts and core work

Sun- 1.5mile run
3x Pullups
3x Pressups

Most of it is short and intense sessions,but its taking its toll!

No rest day(s)?! I hope that isn't representative of every week, you seriously risk overtraining on that in the long run, and it doesn't surprise me to hear that you got shin splints in the past (no offence!). I'd really recommend you schedule in at least one rest day per week.

You can still be active on the rest day in terms of walking etc., but take it easy!

Otherwise though, cracking physique there Sam, well done. Very lean and muscular, particularly since you're only 20.
