Congrats on your gains. I remember seeing some of your posts a long while back and you are moving at light speed. What does your training and diet look like? traditional split, 5/3/1/, DC or some unique A_B stuff?[/quote]
It’s all boring stuff man, lol. Diet lately has been no food you’d classify as junk, and protein shakes. I don’t count cals, I try to get in 2x BW in protein, but it gets hard sometimes.
As far as training, it’s one bodypart per week. I’ll pick an amount of reps I want to hit, stick with it and bump up weight as often as possible which lately has been weekly.
Biggest thing has been hard work and consistency.

same thing, some of the pics posted on this thread, the arms look HUGE, but others dont seem that impressive to me. but actually they all are about the same size. [/quote]
Phil heath looked to be about 250lbs at the last Olympia…but I just read in MD that he was only around 225lbs.
So much of how you look rides on the shape and length of muscle bellies and joints that the measurement itself is never enough.
18" arms are generally indicative of someone who trains at least somewhat seriously, however, which is why getting to certain measurements can still be important.

that just makes me wonder how good hes gonna look when he does hit 250lbs onstage

definetly will shoot you an email. You should just hop on facebook where all the other dudes reside, we got a decent size group of us where we bullshit and what not. We’re getting into skype confrence calls now which is pretty funny. Putting a voice to these dudes you’ve been chatting with online for a while gets interesting.

Someone 6’5" shooting for 18" arms as a goal is a little different than someone 5’6" shooting for 18" arms as a goal.
Franko Columbu looked awesome with 18" arms, can you imagine what Lou Ferrigno would have looked like if his arms were only 18"? He’d look like me, and trust me it’s not impressive.

Just out of curiousity, what is it you guys do on skype? I think a lot of you guys are cool and all, but talking to people face to face over the computer seems like it could get awkward.

some of us dudes here are really close on facebook as well and we talk everyday not only lifting but bullshittong too. We got eachothers phone numbers and plan on attending the Arnold classic in 2010. So I got skype on my iPhone and I can’t see peoples face but we have recently made some calls and when you’ve talked to someone so much you basically no them and the akwardness if there is any is gone really quickly.

Austin, when we’re in a big call like that, none of us could see faces. Thats only when your 1 on 1.

That’s what I like about you, austin: modesty may not be in your vocabulary, but you deliver. Good job. My younger brother (older than you, btw), would’ve already accused you of taking teh steroidz. I wish he had half your work ethic.
