Chocks away - 2011 training - your time starts... now...
-
ouch, legs second time this week today, 100 extensions and 100 hammy curls. then 30s for lat raises and bent over raises and all sort sof shoulder and tricep exercises. It hurts, drained today.<br />
<br />
Weight now down to 81kg on waking. 83 kilos after breakfast and the gym (a litre of water there), and then after the morning bowel movement, back to 82. Sooo, that puts my weight at 80kg. Which is excellent. Ness on her game day weight right now too, both looking much much leaner already than we did at BOP, and we have not dehydrated or crab depleted and loaded yet. Look out Wellington!! -
just experimenting today - used to be daily at this stage of lean down, but messes with your head to much, so every few days or when trainer asks us to.<br />
<br />
was 82.2 yesterday morning after breaky etc, and the litre of morning water, wanted to see my true weight before breakfast. And then seeing what it was after to compare with yesterday, and then the bowels decided to do their thing, and thought I'd jump on again!!!<br />
<br />
jeez, tired just typing that! -
wicked bicep pump today - first some EZ bar curls - 7s. seven lower range reps, seven upper range reps, and then seven full. Even looked like a bodybuilder in the mirror on these ones!! Followed by seated cable curls, just to keep the tension on right through the rep, these hurt too. Biceps were already feeling it by the time we got to these exercises too, after the barbbell bent rows and seated cable reverse grip pulls...<br />
<br />
So all good, pumped to the max, Wellington only a week away now! -
Dude! exact dates and venue are???<br />
<br />
Sorry google power is weak after a few lunchtime beers!<br />

Hey Bart. Just looking at your posts above. Interested about the cardio/treadmill aspect. I have a mate who does the same mad sport as you (a yank) and alot of these guys are big into fasted cardio in the morn. Curious to know if you have tried this<br />
<br />
S -
cardio first thin in the morn you mean? WE have to fit our training into our life, so it's weight in the morning and cardio at night. Ideally would be other way around (our trainer says), but we just can't do that with family / work / life getting in the way!

Amping now. Body is getting LEAN. Veins coming out to play doing the road map thing when I cycle through my quads and calves. Feeling lean and like a bodybuilder. And cold too - body fat down into the very low single digits now. Just over 4%. Roll on Saturday, we're ready to go...!
-
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!
