New goal - Target 80.5kg - October 2nd - NATIONALS
-
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!! -
yay, some downward movement at last - although trainer does not seem too worried about the lack of weight loss, so she is either worrying and not wanting me to worry, or is not worried. I chose the latter. Although last year after WEllington when I gained 8 kilos in a few days, she was worried as buggery, just didn't tell me. That fact it was all fluid and dropped off back to normal in seven days was all good though! Especially as Nationals were only 7 days after that! but I digress.<br />
<br />
Weight this morning [B]83.2kg - BF% 8.2.[/B] Bowels still sluggish to say the least!! -
oh, and the carb depletion starts today - food, what's that...???!???!<br />
<br />
half a cup of oats and half a cup of rice through the day is my lot, which is more than Ness - who takes in a QUARTER of a cup of oats and a QUARTER of rice. Do you know how little a quarter cup of rice is? you can count the grains!! -
yay yay yay!<br />
<br />
Dipped below the 83 mark at last. [B] 82.9kg this morning, and 7.5%BF[/B] by scale readings.<br />
<br />
Sooo progress. Bowel still sluggish as a sluggish thing.<br />
<br />
But at last some movement on the scales, perhaps I will be hitting target for the Aisa Pacific champs. Fingers toes and NOse hairs crossed!<br />
<br />
Training BLOODY HARD with no food - and last night was just a half hour core session! God knows how I'll last tonight's supersets from hell. Well, I know I will manage it, but it'll be tough, and I think that is what I love about this - the mental challenge that never ends - be it eating, training or whatever!!<br />
<br />
Raro comp 15 days and counting, BRING IT ON BRING IT ON BRING IT ON, I'm ready for you you bastard. -
Cmon BartMan!! push it! push it!! hold on, I'm talking bout training here not bloody alpine excursions!!<br />
<br />
Tear into it mate, you can do eet (in that dodgy Waterboy type voice)! -
Yoyoyoyoyoyoyo goes the weight...<br />
<br />
pushed it over the weekend (yes, the apline moment happened - ducolax (sp?) works well)...<br />
<br />
anyway, weekend readings...<br />
<br />
Saturday - [B]82.4kg and 7.7%[/B]<br />
Sunday - [B]81.9 and 8.3[/B]% (that is me EMPTY)...<br />
Monday - [B]82.6kg and 7.1%[/B] (that is me not empty)...<br />
<br />
Soo all going well, feeling like a screwed out washcloth, but did our 'goody' shopping for Saturday night Raro last night. FUN.<br />
<br />
ON my agenda that night, in order...<br />
<br />
Pump up goodies - Snickers bars (hazelnut and standard) and Moro gold bars (those party packs, 1 of each, and 4 twin packs of the Snickers also). Port. Giant Jelly beans. Rice wafers with honey and jam. Energy Chocolate.<br />
<br />
Between morning judging and afternoon show. HPLC bars and no doubt a few wafers and perhaps some veg. probably not the veg to be fair.<br />
<br />
Pump up for night show - see above.<br />
<br />
[B]POST SHOW...[/B]<br />
<br />
Packet of Toffee Pops (+ what is left of Ness's TimTams, her eyes always bigger than her belly - hehehehe)<br />
Peanut M&Ms.<br />
Honey roasted peanuts.<br />
Caramel Chews.<br />
Jelly jet planes.<br />
Pineapple Lumps.<br />
Chocolate Pretzels.<br />
Huntly Palmers Cream Crackers.<br />
<br />
Mmmmm, it's these things that keep you going at the moment - me anyway -
good movement in weight meaning there was good movement else ware!!<br />
<br />
this morning [B]81.8kg. BF 8.1%[/B]<br />
<br />
getting hard, but it's what we do!<br />
<br />
thank you kea, I am sure I'll manage to get through that food, and then some....<br />
<br />
WE see our trainer on Friday, looking forward to it too, major progress in the last few weeks. -
this morning was TOUGH getting out of bed for the 5:50 alarm. But did, because that is what we do! <br />
<br />
weight [B]82.1kg, BF%7.9[/B]. Not worried, that was pre alpine.<br />
<br />
Worked out this morning as we were struggling along on our walk that we are walking about 40 kilometres a week at the moment, no wonder I am so bloody tired!!<br />

and classic - check out that link above - handsome couple in that photo eh!! -
8.726019418=495/((1.0324-0.19077*(1.57978359661681))+(0.15456*(2.25188145455252)))-450<br />
<br />
so, if your neck is 38CM then your % fat would be 8.73, according to this anyway, using log10<br />

<br />
And if your neck were 25cm, your body fat would be -5.6%, ergo dead<br />

36.5cm neck. and somwwhere hooroo, I'll track some fat bastard photos down for the punters enjoyment. I rmemeber Fiji for a mates wedding three or four years ago. was 105kg, and thought I was slim (although I was compared to playing days of 114kg)....<br />
<br />
How things change - my chest is now smaller than my waist used to be! -
OK,think I have managed to add a couple of files. <br />
<br />
Me and Deano (who weighed in at 80.3 for his Waikato comp a few weeks ago), from St Patricks Day 2007 (my wedding day), and the other from October 2008, at the top of the Wentworth valley in Whangamata. Must be a guy thing to pop out a double bicep pose when the camera points...<br />
and coming out of the water in the Isands somwhere while on a cruise - 2007ish too...
