Chocks away - 2011 training - your time starts... now...
-
walk home last night around the 'old pub road', 55 minutes, just trudged along as you do in the cold! Not too bad though, not feeling dead yet! This morning at gym was cardio morning, 45 minutes on the bike, I get bored so 45 seconds in cruise mode and 15 seconds flat out keeps me occupied.<br />
<br />
Walk home via the short route tonight which is a 20 minute burst, and then throw some posing tonight. TIme to become a poser again. oh yay. -
bonus, Ness walked earlier, so I wandered the streets for my 45 minute cardio after work, it was horrible, zero gas in the tank, but made it!<br />
<br />
this morning back workout, final weights session of the week, so YAY. Then a bit of posing once we got home.<br />
<br />
Weight this morning 83.2, target 80.5 so getting closer to target, must be a good dehydrate away from goal. Vanessa the same, 2.5 kilos from goal weight and looking GOOD. She has come on in leaps and bounds, scary the amount of muscle she has packed on in the last 6 months.<br />
<br />
So over and out, two cardio sessions and posing this weekend to come - might have to crack into practise on my routine too - going back to my original one to 'We are the Champions'', can't be arsed working on a new one this time out. You don't get judged on routines at any rate, so could just go out on stage and pop a double bicep pose and walk off if you were so inclined. But I am sure judges DO look at the physiques if the competition is a close run thing, so you get on stage and try to hide your weak points and promote your strong. -
GREAT NEWS. No carb depletion needed for Ness and me. We're both now as lean as we have been - throw some water depletion into us and we're ready for the stage. Going to make this soo much easier mentally, and obviously physically too.<br />
<br />
My weight at trainer / food guru was 83, 1.5 off competition weight - so basically water deplete and I am ready for the stage, and feel like it too.<br />
<br />
So roll on Whakatane, 18 days to go...<br />
<br />
Workouts continue - chest yesterday, good as gold, shoulders almost 100%, stoked. Today was legs, and I upped my devils walk weight, and paid for it once I hit the hamstring curls, ended up almost curling my feet alone it felt like, and they were 2000kg deadweights at the ends of my legs - great!!<br />
<br />
So all good, and the little pointer of adding some cinnamon to you oats, oh my - perfect!!!!! -
have lost muscle mass over the last few weeks though - but that is probably the lack of carbs and water IN the muscle, traininer not to worried, but have upped the amino acid supplement thing just in case it becomes one.<br />
<br />
BF% slipped under the 6%, excepts another 2 or so to go by comp day. Will certainly be leanest ever! -
Waddled down to the gym yesterday evening for cardio (20 minutes there, 20 minutes back), and got our pairs routine nailed, now to get it polished! <br />
<br />
This morning cardio at gym, treadmill for 45 minutes. BUm and hamstrings very sore from yesterdays leg day. All good though, cinnamon oats superb again. -
great session at the gym this morning. Shoulders smashed to pieces. Upped the weights on first super sets second exercise, and that killed me for the rest of the workout, loverly jubbly.<br />
<br />
Then some posing, body is changing FAST. Weight this morning 82.4, certainly leanest I have been 17 days out from a comp ever, beaudiful. In fact, probably the leanest I have been on the DAY of a comp even. And I still have a chest, one of my weak points that was certainly a work on over summer, that and lat spread and biceps and shoudlers and....<br />
<br />
Ness looking wicked too - videod her back in motion, will see if I can upload that here, muscles all over the shop!! -
THink the width of my back would definitely be the biggest change - chest has come up too. Basically being hammers down on the upper bod to get it to match up with the shanks. But in saying that, think my legs are advanced hugely on last year too - not bigger, just seem harder - more 3 dimensional, dunno how to explain it, but certainly improved.<br />
<br />
Taking a long time between comps certainly make the changes happen. Can't wait until show time and we get some photos of Mrs B on stage, the difference is going to be out of this world. -
lol, would be like betting on the bloody ballet hooroo - just not done!! But I'm quietly confident, there is one other bloke that I know is pretty good who is going to be there, but with this sport in the regional champs you just don't know week to week who's going to compete, so could be a fleet of decent bods on stage, or you and a bunch of fat boys!!
-
13 days to go - Ness and myself, As you can see, Ness a lot leaner and bigger than last time out. We're ready to compete NOW though, but the time always flies over these last couple of weeks. Waxing, tanning, dehydration, training, cardio, routines, compulsory poses. and sleep, sleep, sleep. Both now 1kg off competition weight, so that is not going to be a problem this time out. Is weird, we always seem to be the same weight off comp weight at this stage of things.<br />
