Chocks away - 2011 training - your time starts... now...
-
Holy shit, ripped bro!! that is impressive. Call me crazy but I think you will do very well at your comp this weekend!
-
fucken hell - the new diurteics worked. weight this morning before breakfast 76.9kg. No wonder I feel as dry as the sahara in a particularily dry spell after a long draught in a heat wave... feel like my skin is vacum packed onto my body. All B=bloody good.<br />
<br />
Note to self though, do NOT to two ducolax tablets (poo pills). Read instructions and take just the one. otherwis 4 hours later, the bottom falls out of the market...!!<br />
<br />
all good to go, tanned, off to weight in an about an hour. bring it on!! -
Burger Fuel burger, kumara chips and normal chips, a scone and jam, chocolate muffin, coke zero, powerade, oh yeah bar, packet of seasame wheat crackers with gherkin dip... and tomorrow to come...<br />
<br />
Won Masters Athletic and then overall athletic against the blokes that will be the real competition at Nationals. So now competitors will be guessing come two weeks time - is bart going to do masters or open? <br />
<br />
Ness was pipped in the 35+figure, but this I think is a good thing. Why you ask (why? - thank you audience). The chick she lost to is last years Nation al champ, so she asked the judges what she needs to do. It was THAT cose between them. Answer from head judge - there is one pose where she needs to change a little thing, and she would have won tonight. Meaning that 2010 champ thinks she still has it in the bag, but we know she is toast in two weeks time. <br />
<br />
anyway, Ness now asleep, my belly looking preggers! Was cramping up a storm on stage tonight too, not good, but trainier will no doubt sort it out. And in shower when bending over to scrub feet got cramp just under left pec - my RIB started poking out like a big egg - had to stretch arm above head and thump my own chest to get it back to where it should be - now that can't be good!!<br />
<br />
And got the txt from nephew - watch the Ireland v Aussie game, it's a goodie. but blooy replays tomrrow as we fly home. But go you good things, might have to wear my irish jersey on Monday to work. Every night is St Patricks Day next week! -
Awesome results for both of you mate!!! well done!! Ness must be feeling good about nationals now she's got the good oil from the Judges etc.<br />
<br />
Lol hope that food baby isn't to painful to 'deliver'!! -
Sunday's list...<br />
2 more Burger Fuel burgers (we were given 2 for 1 vouchers, I still have some left for nationals), crunchy nut cornflakes and yoghurt, MacDonalds breakfast bagel, 3 scones, muffin, caramel slice, red bull x 1, mixed nuts x lots, picnic bar, oh yeah bar, and I think that is about it...<br />
<br />
Weight this morning 84kg! Feel slightly water logged...!<br />
<br />
Gym this morning was leg 100s etc, tough workout because of the spongy feeling from being chock full of fluids, but blasted though it with plenty of energy!!<br />
<br />

NTA, wait to you hit double figures for the first time since, well, for me it was since I was about 18 years old I think. You'll feel a new man, and Mrs NTA won't know you!<br />
<br />
NOw it all starts again - Nationals will be here before we know it.<br />
<br />
Weight popped out to 84 yesterday, but the dam has burst, I am now peeing for New Zealand, almost as the water goes in the mouth I'm emptying the bladder. Funny though, while I feel bloated, posing at the gym this morning still ripped to shreads, so the mind is at rest now, was worried, even though I KNOW I'm going to retain for a day or 3 before it goes again. -
weight 82.9 this morning, so the water is leaving the body now. Feels funny after having my skin cling wrapped to m,y muscles on Saturday through to today where there is a layer of fluid between skin and muscle (normal human body). Can see why this sport is addictive, but a real mind game at the same time! Love it.<br />
<br />
Cardio this morning and more posing, Not much fun stripping down to your shorts at minus 50!! BUt gotta be done. Both looking good and I think should be razor sharp come nationals. Bodyfat by scales still under 4%, just holding gallons of water! -
81.8 this morning, still pissing for New Zealand! Starting to feel lean and mean again. Well always mean, but the lean is happening again.<br />
<br />
It's a real mind screw this competing part of the season. ONce you've been super lean, you want to stay that way, but it's not really possible to be living life running around at 3% bodyfat! But once you 'blow out' to say 9 or 10%, you feel like you're fat, until you get used to it again. Sigh, oh to be normal and 120kilos again....!!<br />
<br />
Legs today - 100s - extensions and hammy curls. legs are empty as empty things now. ALso a few million lat rasies and tricep exercises thrown in just to finish us off! Good day at the office this morning, although bring back the heat please, shit it was cold this AM. -
Cheers JK, and yes, weak mind in this sport and you're fucked. Ness has ner moments of self doubt, especially now, but we both KNOW that the water comes right off again. Still does not make it easier. Makes it easier for me I think as I have to be strong and do the man thing and bottle up the worries while calming Ness's fears! Still horrible waiting for the water to start going, "what if it doesn't this time" etc.... <br />
<br />
All good though, strong body, strong mind.<br />
<br />
And this helps too - a fleet of TSF physiologists on hand, even though they are all as fucked as I am!!!!! -
80.8 this morning, legs lean again now - the neoprene wetsuit that had been implanted between my skin and the muscles has gone! Chest, back and biceps at the gym today, not 100s thankfully, but still a good blast, and then aquick round of symetry and compulsory posing. It is all coming together nicely now, we've both pretty much done all we can do, it's now in the laps of the gods (or rather, those seven bloody judges that sit down the front of the stage with their bowls of jelly beans) as to how the chips fall come Nationals.
