Conan Stevens Bodybuilding Photos July 2009

Alright after much delay and much sidestepping the issue I grabbed my phone out of my pocket after training today and asked a fellow that I have never seen before to take a few photos outside the gym.

Bigger Leaner And More Bearded Than Ever

Yep, I have a beard - why? I ran out of razors one day then forgot to buy them next 2 times I went to the supermarket and decided to grow it to get some new photos as I believe it gives my face and demeanor a totaly different aspect...

Strength / Weight Training For Women

There are many Strength and Weight training for women programs available on the internet and most, if not all, I say are just junk made to try to sell something to women who are likely to know less about training and supplements than men are.

Now the reality for a strenght or weight training for women routine is that there will not be too much difference from a man's routine who is looking for the same end goals.... 

2009 Muscle Photos Of Conan

These photos were taken in China during the filming of True Legend at the local gym.

The camera was my trust Nokia N95 which does not take good indoor photos and the pics are also a bit blurry as I got a local guy to take a couple dozen photos in a fast sequence and these were the best pics.

Finally Looking Like A 7 Foot Bodybuilder 

Big Don (who is a professional movie animator) helped clean up the pics as best he could for me so here they are...

My Sore Knees - Torn Meniscus

It has come to my attention....

.... as in my knee was twice it's normal size after months of pain...

...that I have torn the outer meniscus in my left knee.

The Meniscus is the fluid sac that provides cushioning in your knee joint, whilst wrestling 'The Lebo' in Australia he landed on my knee and there was a loud POP, he instantly pulled his weight off me and whispered "I heard your knee pop, are you alright?"...

Gain Weight - 20kg In 3 Months

"How can I gain weight" - the eternal question for teenage boys, footballers and beginning bodybuilders. Also the question that took me from a skinny 70kg long distance runner to todays weight of over 140kg - more than doubling my lean body weight.

21 years ago I started to ask how do I gain weight in earnest, studying every bit of archaic knowledge, the current state of professional nutrition advice and every bit of hearsay we could get our ears around. In the end we decided to follow these following steps.

In 3 months I gained 20kg of weight, mostly muscle!

Bodybuilding Photos From Our New Book

Here are a few bodybuilding photos from our new book. New book? Yep.... 

You may have noticed that I have been rather slack in posting regularly recently, besides going to Koh Pang Nan, Phnom Penh and a week in Pattaya last week I have been busy making changes to the website, mainly adding and testing the new Conan Stevens Video Library.

On top of that I have been negotiating a very interesting deal that I can write about shortly and I have also been working with John Hill  on a new project...

The 200 page Big Book Of Modern Bodybuilding, here are some bodybuilding photos that were taken for the book but not used... 

Finding Time To Train

"I can't find time to train" the cry echoes out around us in our busy modern lives. So many people forego thier fitness commitments and allow themselves to become unfit and flabby, yet there are others around us who seem to find the time and get fitter and better looking all the time. 

What is the difference? Where do these people find the time? 

300lbs Down To 189lbs Email From A Reader

A reader of this site sent me a detailed email requesting help with loosing fat. Amazingly he has already come down from 300lbs to 189lbs. This alone shows me he is serious and that being the case I just had to reply to his email.

Congratulations and keep up the good work, you can achieve your goals just getting a little more knowledge will make it easier for you...

Benefits Of Bodybuilding / Weight Training

I was talking with a bodybuilding friend the other day about our lives and how bodybuilding changed the way our lives have gone and the paths we took.  It was rather an interesting reflection, without bodybuilding in my life I would probably be stuck in my hometown working some sort of office job with computers.

The benefits of bodybuilding have been great, for both of us, but today I am going to talk about the benefits that I have personally gained...
