New goal - Target 80.5kg - October 2nd - NATIONALS
-
Hooroo - getting fatter here!! March 2006, mates wedding, and [U][I][B]down [/B][/I][/U]to 105kgs (according to the scales at the Fiji airport). Mr and Mrs BartMan in their prime... THought there was no way I could get skinnier than that without being dead. And I was right...!!<br />
<br />
Thanks Crucial, you are right, nutters, but by fuck, nothing tastes sweeter than a snickers bar after weigh in on competition day! -
Sunday weight [B]80.9kg and 7.1%BF<br />
[/B]<br />
Monday weight[B] 81.5 and 7.2%BF.[/B]<br />
<br />
Sunday saw us have a mini carb up day = mini as in lots of rice wafers and fuck all else, so extra weight there is fluid retention, felt good though to get some carbs into the system. We're back carb low for the next few days, and then carb free for about three before comp day. <br />
<br />
WE packed our goody bags though on Saturday... -
nom nom nom!! I'm not starving myself and those munchies still look good!!<br />
<br />
Are the double up items to avoid bloodshed between you and Ness when the feeding frenzy begins!!? I would back her to take you out - a hungry woman is one of the most dangerous things on earth (even if she says she is Fine!) -
yes, the double up things (energy chocolate, Snickers etc) are for our competition bags - our on the day sugar energy fix. then you have the things like the biscuits etc that whatever has been grabbing our fancy as we troll the supermarket isles!!<br />
<br />
FIVE SLEEPS TO GO!!! not that we are counting every second... -
could not drag ourselves to the gym last night - no way could we face a gym session. So we walked down the beach and saw the most beautiful moon rise over the islands at Whanga beach that you could hope for - water like a mirror, so not all bad. Gym'd this morning as I am sure tonight we will not be up to weights again. morning there is a little energy in the tank.<br />
<br />
dehydration started today...<br />
<br />
weight this morning(Tuesday) [B]81.1kg, 8.1%BF[/B]<br />
<br />
just got text from Ness "god I feel like crap". I think it's going to be a long couple of days before we hit Raro...<br />
<br />
started on my posing routine last night too - there is zero judging done on routine, so I now look at it as a pain in the farking arse, but got to be done. Vangellis 'conquest of paradise'. so very slow and controlled rocking through poses at a nice sedate old man pace! -
keep it up mate! your writing is still semi-coherent so you can't be tripping too badly at the moment!!
-
we take the paint shop with us - spray unit etc. Ness picks up a bit of work too doing other competitors, so we pay for the trip and it becomes bussiness too!<br />
<br />
so paint thrusday friday with spray tans, and then the war mud goes on Friday night Saturday morning.<br />
<br />
just got plucked (waxed), and feel fucking terrible, great 'sport' this!! -
as those crazy Spanish soccer commentators call out in excitement, "GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL"...<br />
<br />
weight this morning, Wednesday 25th [B]80.5kg, BF% 8.1.[/B]<br />
<br />
Routine sorted now just need to run through it a few more times to get it cemented in place in the old brain box.<br />
<br />
just in a holding pattern now really as we prepare to fly out to Raro and just can't wait to compete and see if we have done enough to bring home a few titles.<br />
<br />
As per usual, Ness has got some tought competition - the women's over 35 figure comps are uber competitive - these older girls have some wicked physiques.<br />
<br />
My trainer thinks I should go well against the NZ boys that are going over, and if I come in right should beat them - it's the 'Johnny Foreigners' that we know nothing about will be the fun ones to beat - or lose to, as the case may be.<br />
<br />
Pairs, again, who knows who will turn up. For pairs your routine IS judged, but we've got ours down pretty pat, with a couple of lifts for good measure - it's pretty sharp - if we nail it! You get bonus points for lifts apparently!<br />
<br />
Anyway, this could be the last posting until we get back from Raro - I'll txt Hooroo results as they come to hand and see if the big guy wants to post them up for me!!<br />
<br />
Also check out, perhaps, the [url]www.gofigure.co.nz[/url] website - they might have results up pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
that is all for now, the journey is almost over - or just begun, Wellywood on September 11th next stop... -
looking forward to an update. Hope you guys clean the floor!!
-
We have a winner!<br />
<br />
Congrats to the Bartman.<br />

hey all, still enjoying our food here in Raro - tahnks for the congats, wicked hard comp, toughest yet in short career, and obviously most satisfying! Some very tough athletes in line up, was 25 minutes on stage, so dehydrated to et to weight that the cramping started in the very first round of compulsory posing. Then there were four comparison rounds after that when you get called out with others taht the judges are obviosuly looking at. Anyway, FARKING TOUGH, but result at the end, so worth the pain!@<br />
<br />
Pairs feel a little ripped off, but there you go, we'll talk to judges and see that the fuck they are actully judgung ON and go from there.<br />
<br />
Ness and the chick who won their thing were so close it was not funny, but someone has to win and cone second, unfortunate it was not the right way around!<br />
<br />
great news - now do NOT have to comepte in Wellington, so don't ahve to get stratight back on the diet so we are enjying some good food but not going mad - weight at weigh in was 79.8, so under by 700 at the end. before weigh in on the scales we had at flast was 80.3 so was nervousd as hell. Ness weighed in at 53.9 - she allowed to be 54. had to weigh in just in nickers!<br />
<br />
now weight is 84.3 but abs and everything still there, nowejust look like a rugby player, not a concentration camp victim with muscles.<br />
<br />
so new target nationals on the secnod of October, bring this on.!!<br />
<br />
and this place is THE place to go if you want an island holiday - sod of Fiji, Raro is my new homje on holiday!!<br />
<br />
see you all friday - and what a test match Aus v SA!! -
