Nice lift!

What's your daily intake calorie difference, old Ben v new Ben?

4500-5000+ vs 3100 now.
Max efforts are a lot harder but I was determined to hit a PB (even though I wasn't supposed to )

I think my goals need reappraising. My ageing body isn't appreciating the dash for maximum weight, and I'm really concious of injuries impacting on all training, so I need to take a different approach to getting my 'bikini body'

Question: If I increase the reps at moderate weights, and then add drop sets to failure, will my muscle mass continue to build? Or do you have to increase the resistance to get bigger?

[LordGrover]

Dunno, but progression needn't be linear.
If you cycle low, medium, heavy weeks it's less stress on the body but still able to increase, albeit slightly slower. Probably. I think.

GVT is all you need

Is this being used as the transformation thread or is there another one running?

Took a updated pic @ 144.2kg (this morning) whilst in the gym. Hopefully by 130kg ill have a ab or 2

[Art0ir]

If your transformation is a goal for 2015 post away! And well done!

Well it's one part, i'm hoping i'll be able to stop dieting at 130kg. Fed up already....... 18kg down, 14kg to go!
And thanks

130, there's practically nothing left.

I hope so, If i can get to 15% body fat at 130kg (unlikely but i'll try!) I get £1k from a friend because his online calculator says i'll be 105-110kg! :O
