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 />

Good to go - here's a couple of tired looking photos - we'll look a ton better when we hit the stage more carbed up etc - got to keep weight control untl the weigh in. -

Looks like you both had the wood on the others with all over condition. Reckon the extra bulk you added (legs and chest) plus the better definition put you well ahead.<br />
<br />
Excellent haul! some good news for the day after an average test match!<br />
<br />
Well done : ) -
Cardio today - 45 minutes on the treadmill blasting along to the Blues Brothers. A good album to listen to while walking, some of those faster tracks get you moving!! The one the play from the movie when they sneak off the stage to evade the coppers (whatever it's called) really rocks along - and goes for over 9 minutes I found out today!! Good rhythms to walk to!<br />
<br />
Almost a fluid free zone now too, not the usual water retention thanks to new food chick's different way to pump up etc, so all good, feeling fine and ready to go - three weeks before we tread the boards again from this Saturday. Bring it on again!! -

binged out Sunday night - bad, but not that bad, funny thing the mind and the body. <br />
<br />
but we'd been to see our food guru, and we were both too bloody thin! Our muscles had not filled out enough adn e looked flat and skin han ging off us. So we're in the Mount this week with daughters netball. So binged on rice wafers with peanut butter and banana spread on it, and shared one of those small chocolate bars, a couple of protein bars that were also not on the menu. So a binge, but not a really really bad one, but a binge all the same. It was pretty fun though, and while the body needed it, i think the mind did too.<br />
<br />
Exercise today - walked up the mount and down the other side and around and back to where we're staying on the beach. Then to Bay bodyfit and worked out at 2, chest and biceps, good workout too - full of carbs, arms pumped up like ballons at the end of the workout, veins all over the place, looked like freaks! -
right, business as usual - visit to traininer last Sunday - GOOD. both leaner now than when we competed at BOP a few weeks ago. Which suits me fine, I want to be ripped for Welly, and super ripped for nationals. Felt a bit 'soft' at BOP. Ness looking wicked all along too.<br />
<br />
So ta the moment still on plenty of tucker and visit Tarren on Sunday for the final weeks brief. Expect a min carb deplete for a few days again, and then match day'll be all go, lean and mean and hunting for more trophies...<br />
<br />
training - we've hit the hundreds. 100 squats at 60kg (had no idea what weight to day, could perhaps go a bit heavier). 5 and half minute for the set...!!!! Hundred calf raises too. A few pauses while you regain your breath on the squats, and on the raises a few times you have to stop to remove the daggers taht are being driven into your muscles!!<br />
<br />
Today was 100 bench presses - took Ness 7 and a half minutes. Stripping a little weight as we stopped each time, and then just stopping and resting for a few seconds at a time when you could not move anymore!! Was excellent. I think I ended up pressing 35, starting at 50. Expect chest will tell me all about it tomorrow! Legs and calves sending me hate mail at the moment...<br />
<br />
other than that, all good.<br />
<br />
MN5 - a couple of 10kg and a couple of 6kg dumbells, possible...???<br />
cheers ears. -
33,17, 15, 10 and then i can't remember, something like that anyway! Legs feeling it today! Thursday is 100 extensions and 100 hammy curls... All other exercises are pretty much three sets of 30 or two of 30 one of 20. If this doesn't rip your muslces to shreads, nothing will!!
-
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!!
