New goal - Target 80.5kg - October 2nd - NATIONALS
-
Awesome!! that's 5 or so kg in 5 days!!? won't even bother to ask how hungry you are...
-
morning [B]weight 84.4 [/B]and[B] 9%[/B] BF.<br />
<br />
weight was 85 before a decent morning evacuation of the bowels!!! Can't go past alpine tea...<br />
<br />
Waxed today, and the mnuscles are there on the pasty white body, best I have looked this year thus far, bring on the 28th... -
it is ALL about bowel movements - they don't move, and we're in trouble. I think half the time in this eating sod all period you worry about making use you are regular, as it is important.<br />
<br />
I'll code it for you in the future... Alpine moments...!!!<br />
<br />
so you don't want the sound effects then...? -
I laughed so hard I almost had an Alpine moment. Hooroo that was classic.
-
weight this morning[B] 84.3kg BF$ 8.7.[/B] No alpine moments until after breakfast, so that good. The three grains of wholegrain rolled oats and half a teaspoon of protein powder - or so it seems like, tasted superb too - and the kiwifruit sliced on top. Mmmmmmmm kiwifruit.
-
So you weighed yourself before taking a shit? Given your starvation diet, I'm amazed there's anything coming out. Good luck, and hope you get in even more awesome fitness shape. Maybe after a few years of winning competitions, emulate someone like this:<br />

weight myself when we et back from our morning walk. Sometimes the shit happens straight after the walk, sometimes doesn;t!!<br />
<br />
vital to keep bowels moving though, as in on weight in you need to be as light as possible so you nca be carrying as much muscle as possible. Post 'alpine movement' and pre 'alpine movement' yesterday was 600g difference!! -
weight this morning, (pre alpine) 84.1kg, BF9.0%.<br />
<br />
Morning walks getting harder to drag carcass out of bed, but still managing!! Weights tonight, and then tomorrow two cardio sessions - it'll be walk in the AM, and then I think a cycle during the test - that'll make the time fly!<br />
<br />
Broke out the compulsory poses last night at the gym - only me and Ness and a bloke I know there, so not to 'poser' to strip down to shorts and climb into a few side chests and double biceps. Very pleased with where I am at three weeks (tomorrow) from competition. Best condition I have been in all year - counting competition days, of which there have been 3 this season - for a 1st, 2nd and 4th - not a great year when i think of it thus far - only way is up!<br />
<br />
Certainly think I will be hitting my weight though for the Athletic Div in Raro, so that is good news. -
weigh in this morning [B]83.4kg (post alpine), 8.7BF%[/B].<br />
<br />
All going well, great workout last night, went through pairs routine with Ness, getting that down pat, which is good, as we head up to see our dance chick in Whitianga today for the final polish. Pairs do get judged on their routine - unlike individual routines.<br />
<br />
Have now gone through compulsory and symmetry posing rounds a few times and starting to feel like a bodybuilder again big time.<br />
<br />
Now to find some music for my individual posing routine, oh joy. -
Sunday, 83.3 and 9.0%<br />
<br />
and Monday, after no apline movement since Saturday 83.8 and 8.1% BF.<br />
<br />
So if people think I am full of shit, they are right....<br />
<br />
Saw traininer today, and measurements coming along fine - skinfold on my back 3mm from my nationals measurement last year, that being important as my back is the last place that loses fat - biceps, triceps and other bits and pieces all going where they should be too. They reposnd easy at any rate!!<br />
<br />
That is all, bed time, walking in 8 hours....!! -
barto, looking forward to the comp pics. for the alpine moments when you are low carbing what do you take? is it fibre or soemthing else. Always found it hard to be regular when low carbing?
-
Alpine tea - hence the 'alpine moment'. Also slippery elm, and shed loads of vit C to help keep things moving - up to 8000mg a day of the 'C'.<br />
<br />
Low carbs start from this Thursday - a 16 day carb deplete this time out, fark. mine own fault though, for wanting to go and play with the big boys in physique and packing on extra muscle, and then deciding what, 5 weeks our from Raro that I want to play with the athletic boys...!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, this morning, after a minor alpine tremor,[B] 83.4kg and 8.4%BF![/B]<br />
<br />
bloody cold walk this morning too - frost in WHangamata, which is not usual! -
I found this online:<br />
<br />
<br />
% BF can be calculated using a formula developed by Hodgdon and Beckett at the Naval Health Research Center...<br />
<br />
The formula for men is:<br />
%Fat=495/(1.0324-0.19077(log(waist-neck))+0.15456(log(height)))-450<br />
<br />
the measurements must be in centimeters with an accuracy of 0.5 cm<br />
<br />
I would be interested to see if it turns out right, since I am sure your daily measurements are accurate. Would you mind divulging your waist/neck/height numbers?<br />
I'll give it a crack if it turns out to be accurate according to your numbers. -
height 178.6 waist was about 76 at the last measurement, and I'll pop over the road to the craft shop and ask them to measure my neck shortly!!!!<br />
<br />
Weight getting sticky - [B]83.5kg and BF remained 8.4%.[/B] That was pre alpine moment this morning. waste is currently at a minimum - carb deplete starts from tomorrow, so it'll be less - oh joy!!
