Thunderbirds are GO....
-
a few good days training behind us since last Tuesday I Think it was. Second chest / biceps again left me puffed up like a overloaded puffer fish, love it. Gotta be growing. Weighted in aagain last week, 90.8, so up a KG and BF still the same. She's going to be a hard row to hoe when it comes to getting weight back down for comps. Or enter physique and get my arse kicked. Decisions!<br />
<br />
Did a cycle yesterday, last big one before my half of the lake taupo ride. Went to Tairua and up PUmpkin Hill past Tairua. total of 90 odd kilometres by the end of the ride, very tired, and very hungry at the end of it!! All good though, Taupo should now not kick our arse...! -
Well, still ticking along - weights, walking, cycling...<br />
<br />
Taupo - did the first two legs in 2:52, and then waited for Ness to arrive. She arrived, and promptly said, "shall we do another leg". Unfortunately my bike was easy to get off the racks, so the answer was OK! So we ended up doing 116k, great fun, and would have gone on and done the whole thing but ran out of food! I got some mean quad cramps going up some mother hill at 57k, but a water station at the top saved me - drunk and refilled bottles like mad, ate food, and was fine from then on in. If I get into this more in the future need to learn about fueling body more!<br />
<br />
Weights all good, enjoying, hard work, business as usual.<br />
<br />
Exciting news, some local NZ TV programme is needing bodybuilding extras for some episode, so Ness is going to be on stage, while I am going to be a bodybuilding muscle geek in background! I don't even know what it's called - will find out details, filming mid December, we need to be there for a couple of days, should be a bit of a giggle! I expect a spin off programme within months at the very least...<br />

JK - weight cut offs - it's a height to weight thing. Take your height in cm, minus 100, plus 2. (or just take off 98!) so 178.5 height means I can be 80.5kg. If you were 200 you'd be 102kg etc. -
Have you read Total Recall from Arnold? Gives some good highlights (some old, some new) about his bodybuilding days in the beginning. Interesting reading his explanation of his mindset, and how he approached training.<br />
<br />
Kind of crazy how much he was fitting into a day (real estate business, a degree spread out over multiple colleges because of his visa, training, working at the gym, mail order business, etc, etc, etc). He was a machine. -

Saw pumping Iron the other day which really increased my respect for him even if he does come across as a bit of a prick. He really was an amazing athelete back in the day and its quite extraordinary what he's been able to acheive. Few people realise that he was a millionare even before he got into movies. Its weird Lou Ferrignio didnt give Olympia another shot until it was too late. Surely he would have been a shoe-in a few years later. Guess he was living the life as the Hulk. -
I think, (therefore I am), that I am going to have to start running. My weight is not going to shift otherwise, and I don't want my legs getting any bigger, so it seems running will keep those muscles in check. Going to talk to my trainer, but thoughts from the luminaries of the TSF former fat bastards club?
