How much HGH has Stallone used? Look at his head compared to his body. Looks somewhat proportional, right? Okay, now consider the fact that Sly is carrying about 30-40 pounds of excess muscle mass well above his natural level. Shed away that size and he has a Mardi Gras head!

You had Hot Fuzz released in .AU before the US Jes. But for American produced films, I'm not sure how many have been released there first. I think The Matrix sequels and (technically) Spiderman 3 were open in Australia before the US.

Ah, bit of a disconnect there. My definition of higher rep has always been minimum 20, maximum of 25. Once you hit 25, you up the weight. It's also a nice program to shift to if you plateau.

If you're talking about trimming fat and creating some leaner muscle, I'd recommend going from heavy lifting to a lower weight/higher rep program. Resistence bands will help as well.
