Lol you look huge and body fat looks in check. I was looking at your pics and said OMG and my mom came by and asked if you were the guy from green mile lol! Would you outline what a typical day of eating would look like pre and post workout nutrition to? Thanks man.
Every time I see this thread title it makes me chuckle.
Hmmm, how do you train Prof X? I’m guessing it would involve a hot chick and a burger. Probably depends on what you want to train him to do…

It’s set to private right now. No big deal though. I can understand not wanting your pics floating around for every Tom Dick and Harry.
Good training and keep posting

Prof,
I appreciate all of your good advice on this forum and would definitely like to see a picture to see the results of all of your training.

Any pics I do have are in my profile. It isn’t like I have any professional photos. If you want professionalism in photography, look at Mad Titan’s.

If you at 255 is where you’re at now, I’d give it a shot. Looking strong.
I actually do plan to eventually. It is just that I see myself as having a long way to go while some of the guys I train with seem to think I am just procrastinating for no reason. Two of them just competed in the local NPC contest about two weeks ago (or was it last week?). One dropped 40lbs (and he was in good shape to begin with) to get stage ready. [/quote]
Plan to eventually? Long way to go?..I think somebody need to join Oprah’s book club and read secrets.
Ok, you prefer split routines. What is your opinion about frequency? I mean what you used to do, not by feeling like now.
I’ve read that you have done chest twice a week and shoulders twice a week (not on the same time/cycle) and that has worked positively. Do you used it to prioritize this (like bringing up the lagging muscle) or is 2 times a week / 3 times per 2 weeks just better?

That looks delicious…
Prof X I have to thank you for a tip you gave a few months ago about training the calves. The tip was to train them everyday. Have to say it works great. Major development in about 12 weeks.
Anybody looking to bring up the calves give it a shot!

Doing that put an inch on mine in the last year or two after several years of nothing.
Questions for you X
-
Do you train to failure which to me is you coudnt do another rep without big time cheating?
-
Have the lateral raises actually helped you get wider? Not just bigger shoulders but actually making your clavicles wider?
-
Do you think you should work lateral raises very slow, perfect form and feel the burn or try and progress and its ok if form isnt great? I have tried very hard to get wider but no luck
Also with DB you know there is a device you can buy that will help you get the dumbbells up .

I train close to failure and mentioned that in the link in this thread. I think training to the actual point of failure is a great way to injure yourself if you are using heavy free weights. To de4scribe it fully, it would be the point I which I couldn’t do another full rep on the last set. Very often, the first couple of sets are nowhere near failure because I am warming up for the most part.
-
Your clavicles aren’t going anywhere. Bodybuilding makes your muscles larger, not your skeleton outside of thicker attachments to bone or increased density over time from weight bearing exercises. I am wider because I have more muscle mass than when I started. An X-ray wouldn’t show a change in skeletal structure.
-
There are very few movements that I have EVER trained slow and I have never worried about “feeling the burn”. Anyone I do see training like that is small. They do seem pretty confident that they are training better than everyone else though. I just don’t see them growing much.
My movements are done pushing the weight quicker than I lower it. I don’t count seconds during a rep. If I am doing lateral raises, my focus is on the muscle group. I raise the weight with force and lower it under enough to control to keep the muscle stimulated. It is NOT a slow movement. That does NOT mean I drop the weight on the negative portion of a movement. The weight is always under control of the target muscle group. You just won’t see me doing too many super slow movements because, frankly, they SUCK for building muscle mass.

You are asking for defined rules that apply all of the time to everyone. There are none. I started training shoulders twice a week because they felt as if they were recovered by later in the week and I wanted to really bring them up. Yes, in general, if I feel the need to bring up a muscle group, I will train it more often. How many times a week would be based on recovery and how my other body parts are being trained. The only time I trained a muscle group three times a week was when I was a beginner. I was training arms several times a week. It worked for me, but I wasn’t moving serious weight at the time so obviously my body could recover quicker than if I tried anything like that now. I was also ignoring other body parts and didn’t have a clear understanding of working everything. I don’t think I even trained shoulders much back then so it isn’t something I would recommend even if it made my arms bigger.
I must say that you look as good or better at 255# than at 270#. You also have my respect for being natural.

There’s only one patty of beef on that hamburger. Any training will only be half learned for that.

The hot chick wasnt pictured, the hamburger is the appetizer, Paris Hilton is the main course.
