Chocks away - 2011 training - your time starts... now...
-
Good luck! You're almost there, only a few days to go. You've done an awesome job, leading from the front on this forum, far in front of the rest (except on hills, I got you there). You (both) must win, for sure. If you don't, no post workout carb binge allowed!<br />
<br />
Did you shave your eyebrows? Could be a winning trick. -
shaving eyebrows, HVAE thought about that, would look pretty freaky I reckon, the complete nude body and eyebrows. Maybe for Nationals one year, get a scary song to pose to too...<br />
<br />
Well, one more weights day to go - back dusted today, zero gas in the tank, the triple sets ripping the guts out of you halfway through each time. Weights down, as expected, but we bashed out way through - back AND biceps today that was.<br />
<br />
Weights so in the zone not funny. This morning Ness was 52.9, which is 1.1 UNDER competition day weight, meaning Friday will be a start of a slow carb build up, oats back on the menu -SWEET. I was 80.6, which is 100g over comp weight, but that's sweet as a bell too. Dehydration starts today, so we're both going to lose more fluid and obviously weight.<br />
<br />
So much easier this time out with the new training crew, stoked.<br />
<br />
so almost whistle time boys and girls, and on target feeling pretty fine, just bloody cold. <br />
<br />
Oh yeah, my BF% slipped under the 5%, 4.8 as of this morning. -
I was pretty happy, but Ness wanted a change up, and I am so glad we did. Training with heavy weights again instead of all this new age swiss-ball bullshit, and the diet from new food guru different and just as, if not more effective, and tastier food, different lean down, and all going well. So once stubborn Bart was convinced to change, all bloody good!

ooooohhhh, the dehydration is kicking in, diuretics doing their job. Woke up in the night (from my 5 3 second bursts of sleep, by christ there are some crap movies on Sky at 4am) with my mouth so dry it would make the Sahara desert seem like the worst swamp in a swamp filled country of bad swamps on a monsoon day.<br />
<br />
Skipped gym this morning, nothing in the tank left to burn. Was out last day anyway, but just couldn't drag carcasses out of bed. First tan done, and we're looking like bodybuilders now, it is amazing Vaness'a transformation. One more tan tonight, and then we hit the road to the Whakatane Little Theatre, look out road, two carb depleted zombies on their way. Although tomorrow we start carbing up - oats, protein powder, egg whites and peaches for breakfast, mmmmmm. and then kumara and veg and peaches all through the day.<br />
<br />
All going well, tired as expected, but sort of used to it now. Weight this morning a whopping 80kg, couple more fat% points off too by the scales, 4.6. Feel like an Ethiopian. Got to just 'think big' for the next few days, I am the biggest and meanest on the block, King of the fucking hill, this is MY stage, back of small fry!! All the while smiling!!<br />
<br />
anyway, that's all for now, catch you tomorrow night perhaps from base camp, Whakatane!! -
muscles suck the carbs in as they are starving for the glycogen, as you have forced them to give that up by the carb deplete as the body needs something to drive it, and with each carb molecule, it also harvests from the body two water molecules, so your skin basically gets thinner, and your muscles get bigger. In layman terms anyway - our trainer explains it much better than that, and in more sentences!!
-
Kick ass guys!! bring back gold for the fern!!
-
thanks guys, sitting in motel in WHakatane now, last meal before tomorrow mornings icecream and banana and pancakes (!) a quick dream tan, routines a few times, and then SHOWTIME. Soooo ready to go. Will keep you posted via Hooroo and photos tomorrow night if I can get my face ouit of the trough - only have a couple of days eating 'whatever' before we resume the journey and reset the sights for Wellington on the 17th September, and then the big one two weeks later, nationals. And then the real big one a week later, the TSF Barbarians weekend...
-
game day 7:43am. Breakfast of champions, dusted - flatcake pancake things, icecream banana and maple syrup - makes Oats taste like dirt.<br />
<br />
Ness running at about a kilo below weigh in weight and me at .5, so the timing by guru has been rpetty awesome re carb up etc.<br />
