Hey Frank, just gonna start by saying happy belated birthday and well done at the Olympia,great to see my favourite bodybuilder on that stage, caught the coverage online over here! Looked great bro! What are your plans next?
Quick question - have you ever had skin problems over the years? If you did how did you manage to keep it clear, if not how did other top competitiors you know look after it? Just one of my only problems at the moment with all the food and supplements I take, could be just natural hormone levels adjusting too since I'm only 20. Any feedback would be great. Aside from that what are the basics you always stick by for training, diet and recovery?
And just before you go - ever been over here to Ireland, just visiting or guest posing?
Thanks,
All the best,
David O' Donoghue
(sent you a friend request on Facebook - be great if you could accept, someone to look up to for inspiration)
I have never really had any skin problems. Nothing major. Every one gets pimps and shit. Some more then others. Your young so it could just be your hormones. If it is bad. I would just see your doctor and they can refer you to a Specialists.
hey Frank
First of all to say you are a great insipration and my fav bodybuilder.
Now to question....what do you think about milk for bulking? Milk I bough was 2 % fat and they are some up to 9 % fat so you think it's good for bulking or not?
Good luck in future life and training and keep pumping iron bro.
Animal,cause being human sucks!
And one more thing Frank , if not a problem, can you write me a short diet of meals you think are best/good for bulking.
Thanks , wish you all best and keep the great work!
What are your plans for 2012? How often do you work those cool,freaky forearms and what routine do you follow?
You gonna be posting more training vids like Antoine on youtube? Cheers bro!
If any one knows me well they know I love milk! And I drink a lot of it in the offseason. I think its great for bulking. But I just love the taste, with a box of cookies. G knows what I'm talking about!!!
Just stick with the basics. Steak, chicken , fish, turkey. And rice, potatoes pasta oatmeal. And mix it up. And I make room for a few cheat meals. Buger fries. Etc

Whole milk in the offseason, Skim otherwise right my man?
Cutting phase I have no problem stuffing down tuna with sweet potatoes, not even a problem with eating 6 cups of broccoli a day, or waking up at 6 to do cardio on empty stomach. But man no being able to drink milk when cutting for me is Torture! I absolutely love whole milk, Offseason I get in close to a gallon a day.

How can I eat my cookies if I don't have milk!? Yeah hardest part of contest prep is the diet for me

I get asked alot about forearm training, i didnt alot of it when i was younger. At one point i had them at 18 inchs, and start to make my arms look small so stopped training them they maybe around 17.5 now or so. i may hit them once in a while for the sake of it. All I ever did for them was wrist curls on my knees rolling the bar right down to my finger tips, reverse wrist curls as well.
Wrath, I think like anyone, genetics play a huge role in anyones body parts. Like House with calves! Like your forearms and your vascularity! I have added a forearm day on one of my off days where I hit up about 12 sets of various exercises and they have responded amazingly. People are commenting on them now like they always have about my arm size. Just throwing my .02 out there!

thats true! Genetics play a role in how body parts develop. But they have to be trained to see there true potential. Great to see your getting great results. I always wanted huge foreams, now i see house and i want huge calfs!!!
I hear you man! That is my weakest part. I train the hell out of them still.
