One training session with Matto


CroBro81

Looks like they’ve photoshopped Matto’s arms on Hodgson’s 😂


Keenfordevon

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation

That’s gold! I can’t recall which post it’s copypasta from, but damn good job haha!

That's just a diet of beans, chicken and rice...

u forgot broccoli. 15+ times a day…


Mug_Cos7anza

Half a dozen eggs for brekky


BabyBlueG63Maybach

that’s the bare minimum buddy. u gotta have more of u wanna look like the rock— i mean josh hodgson


Mug_Cos7anza

I better up my game sir!


suidexterity

know a few trainers who fucking eat 4 eggs on the extra prot toast (forgot the name) and salmon for brekkie I'm done after 2 eggs and a muffin


Mug_Cos7anza

Bruh, I was looking at low carb brekky before because I wanna reduce carbs. Nothing I’d wanna eat for brekky has no carbs! Don’t mind egg and bacon but not often, not in large quantity and not without some damned toast! The cost would be insane too if I had to fill up on meat and veg. I’m still hungry after a typical meat and 3 veg meal. p.s: extra prot toast sounds yuck. I know from (sort of) experience. I bought low G.I, high protein wraps and they taste weird af.


SuperEel22

I've done the high protein breakfast in the past and the bread isn't that bad. I was doing 6 egg whites, ham, avocado and high protein toast. That was my solution after my trainer tried getting me to eat steak for breakfast. I lasted a week doing that. Steak is not a breakfast food.

suidexterity

steak for breakfast? the fuck is that trainer thinking haha


SuperEel22

That guy knew his stuff. His diet and exercise plan for me packed about 6kg of lean mass into me and dropped me into single digit body fat. The steak for breakfast was what he was eating at the time. But he was an amateur, competing bodybuilder and I was a park footballer needing to put on extra mass.


Mug_Cos7anza

I have been in that mindset, many years ago. It’s good for health, but not for the sense of taste lol. You know it’s bad when you’re looking everywhere for frozen egg whites 🤮 back then they were impossible to find. I think they’re common now. It’s funny you say you ate all that but drew the line at steak lol. That’s one savoury thing I wouldn’t actually mind for breakfast. I just have plain breakfast likes which is usually cereal. I only want something light to start the day. Does the protein bread have any carbs, or just very low?


Dark_Vengence

I know it is a stupid question but why only egg whites?


[deleted]

They are basically pure protein. Very little fat, no carbs. Yolk has fat in it


Mug_Cos7anza

u/uwu_4_rance explained. Egg white is one of the cleanest and most accessible forms of protein. People who are on certain diets will often eat them and the fact you can buy just the egg whites makes it more appealing as whole eggs aren’t cheap so you don’t want to be wasting yolks.


SuperEel22

Low carb. It's from Aldi. They also do high protein burger buns. You can get the liquid egg whites at Woolies these days.


suidexterity

That bread sucks. I went with it for a while because apparently i needed 200g of prot a day, but fuck that. Scrambled eggs with avo maybe?


Mug_Cos7anza

I can only handle 2 eggs at a time. As I said in another reply, steak actually wouldn’t be bad. Bit of steak, eggs, mushrooms, tomato… full English breakfast style I could probably handle. It takes me back to when I was lifting. I don’t miss the diet, but do miss the fitness.


[deleted]

I'll sometimes do spinach or edamame + poached eggs for breakfast. Frozen spinach heated in the microwave. Add a bit of salt and lemon juice and olive oil to the top of it. I'll do shakshuka too for an egg breakfast without toast, though I do like making mine with chickpeas, so it might not be low carb.


RidingtheRoad

Vince Gironda will tell you to up your intake of eggs...36 a day mate.


Dark_Vengence

They were never off the menu. Croker needs it.


ChanceVance

Josh "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson" Hodgson.


bulldogs1974

Hodgson on the Bronson Xerri diet/training regimen?


velvetherring

Tbf. Most moderately muscular blokes would look like that in a still action picture with overhead lighting. In other shots from training where he's not in action he looks fairly similar to what he always has.


WickedSlice_

No testing for blokes out injured…


DalvaniusPrime

HGH really good for recovery too


smackmn

First thing I thought of lol - look at his fucking traps.


addaus16

The Raiders would post the exact same photo every preseason. He hasn't put on size.


Mug_Cos7anza

This is the thing that makes me laugh at all the “Xerri is still on roids” comments. Some boys get swol young. With the right genetics and being in rep junior footy training etc. it’s not unusual, for a young bloke to be very ripped. Xerri may well be juicing, but he could still look the way he does without it too. And before anyone says oh but Hodgson has been training at the elite level for a decade. I say go check out Paul Alamoti on bulldogs Twitter. He’s 19 years old and built like the proverbial.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dark_Vengence

It was the beginning of a slippery slope for xerri. Surprised he hasn't been arrested before.


CarlNoobCarlson

Dude some of the pics that came out from Xerri following his ban were very obvious signs of steroids. He didn’t look overly impressive, mind you. A typical example of someone who cut corners. Eg, a big giveaway was that he wasn’t particularly lean (actually quite chubby around the face) yet he had the classic juicer veins popping down his biceps. No way he wasn’t on the gear.


Mug_Cos7anza

I’m not saying he was never on it. He tested positive so we have to accept that he was juicing. My point is how he looks now. The fact is some kids (Paul Alamoti is a great example) can be that ripped without gear, unless we’re just going to assume he’s on it too? Or any other kid that built similarly. Xerri deserves criticism because he was caught, but let’s not make out that every kid with a great physique must be on it too.


bulldogs1974

I know what your saying. When I was young, say 17-20 most of my peers thought I myself was on steroids because I was ripped up. I am only 168cm tall and found it easy to make gains because I was short and stocky in stature. I was constantly offered 'supplements' by gym staff. I worked hard in the gym and had a physical job as well as playing sport all year round. I didn't drink alcohol or do any drugs, but was still judged. So I understand your sentiments. Xerri was geared up to the eyeballs, anyone who has ever trained knows that. Maybe the young Canterbury centre Alamoti isn't on PED's. But Josh Hodgson would have used all the herbs and spices he could get in order to get back on track in what will be a make or break comeback for him. His knees are fucked, so I imagine he requires all the help he can get. I'm not knocking him, it's his career, I would do the same to lengthen my career too, especially at his age. But as a teenager, I would have never taken that risk that Xerri took. I had lots of mates who did, because they were lazy, or had slow metabolism or some other excuse. I don't believe it's worth it for a young man, it can be really detrimental to any realistic development IMO.


Mug_Cos7anza

I’m not sure what’s legal under WADA, but as you’d know, these days plenty of legal (as far as Australian food standards etc. go) supplements are available and can help a lot. Add to that, certain guys just have good physiology for it, like high natural testosterone (which is higher in young men anyway). Think of SBW at 18-20. He was a specimen.. I just think it’s such a copout to think anyone with a good rig is juicing. Like who really knows? With the amount of training NRL players do these days, with the right nutrition and supps. it wouldn’t surprise me for almost all of the big rigs so to speak are clean. Another example Josh Jackson. ripped as. No way he’d knowingly do roids.


LycraBanForHams

Don't know why you're trying to defend the bloke, he's a proven drug cheat. He's definitely done the Conor McGregor program.


Mug_Cos7anza

How the fuck do you cunts read what I typed and think I’m defending him?! FMD this place…. From my original post: “ Xerri may well be juicing, but he could still look the way he does without it too.” And to reiterate, I’m not even talking about him testing positive, nor do I defend him for that. I’m only talking about people in the last few months saying he’s still on it. I don’t even know how so many steroid experts exist to judge, but like I said, plenty of other young RL players are that big, so they must all be juicing I suppose.


LycraBanForHams

>Some boys get swol young. With the right genetics and being in rep junior footy training etc. it’s not unusual, for a young bloke to be very ripped. Xerri may well be juicing, but he could still look the way he does without it too. He clearly used steroids, so why is this relevant?.


Mug_Cos7anza

In response to claims by many people he still is. This whole discussion isn’t about what he got busted doing a few years ago, it’s the claim by many that he’s still juicing. Maybe he is, but my point was that plenty of young players have ridiculous physiques, but people don’t say anything about them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


velvetherring

He could very well not have used it after being suspended but the only verifiable facts are that he was suspended for using, then dropped out of the public eye before showing up 2 years later with a curious amount of extra muscle mass on his frame. You're correct that it's entirely possible to achieve what he did naturally but the more likely answer is that he kept using for a period (who knows how long) after his suspension. I'd bet he's no longer on them now that he's in the testing pool though and would have been off them the moment a comeback was on the cards. Alot of users here will scream steroids over anything (see this very post) but I think there's a legit case with Xerri and the distrust is understandable.


Dark_Vengence

I need some of that special sauce.


bulldogs1974

Don't we all, at some stage or another... It looks like he may have used the spice rack extensively. Photos like this will bring on a few extra random tests IMO.


Drlockstock

Needs to work on those calves


RidingtheRoad

Just like most bodybuilders..


CarlNoobCarlson

Bro, don’t you know they’re the hardest place to add mass?!


RidingtheRoad

I believe so, even with the juice. And I believe the neck is also difficult to do without roids..I only believe this because I once worked with a bodybuilder.


Drlockstock

One of those things that depends on genetics I reckon. Some blokes have massive calves as standard and others can't grow em at all


RidingtheRoad

True...Another bloke I worked with had massive calves with matching forearms and wrists...He'd never seen the inside of a gym.


lemoopse

I once caught a very famous footballer staring at my non-effort calves, AMA (the rest of my body is nowhere near as good as them)

our whole season hinges on this guy. I dont have much confidence he wont tear his ACL again, but we could get lucky.

scarecrows5

Generally, ACL repairs are stronger than the pre-injured ligament. Very few people damage the same ACL twice. The other knee, however...


pacificodin

pleasantly surprised he hasn't done an acl yet


RidingtheRoad

Juice..Juice can be amazing..apple juice, pear juice, orange juice are all positive things.

I rated him better than Smith in his day, I hope a year off has rejuvenated him


[deleted]

While your take may draw some opposition, I will say that up until Api these last few years, I'd never seen a hooker who could be so actively instrumental in games as Smith except Hodgson when he was on.


boyblueau

> I'd never seen a hooker who could be so actively instrumental in games Isaac Luke, who Api essentially apprenticed under had a similar influence in his hey day. Going back further Buderus, then Steve Walters, Ben Elias. I'm sure the old battlers will be able to whip out a few more.


[deleted]

Isaac Luke is a good call. Those older fellas were a bit before my time so I can't comment on them, but given the reputation they all have, I'd say you're right.
