Long Range Sniper - 2013 bodybuilding, your time starts, NOW...
-
woof! Not HARD work by any means, but different, and a lot more physical than sitting at a desk. Swinging around scafolds, ladders etc, all good. <br />
<br />
weigh in this Monday was 88.9 and 11.4% down from 91.7 and 13.4. The BF% is defo just a guideline, as I got on the scales on Friday morning at 90 ish and 14.1%. But over the months so long as the % trends down, I am happy. Weight though, stoked, perhaps the 80.5 comp weight is not sooo far away after all... -
lol, you are the only person I know who sees dropping 8-9kg (and at 10-11% BF no less!) as no big deal!! But you've been there, done that, so you know how it works. I just find it amazing how much control you can have over your body with the right eating and training plans - trippy shit!
-
It is pretty fuuny when you put it lije that, but second nature now, and defo the 'been there, done that' helps the mind a LOT. ANd part of training, learning to say 'no' when home owner comes out with smoko and their are 2.4 million chocolate biscuits on a plate. Black coffee please, and I'll have y banana and proetin shake! Would not hurt at the moment, but when push comes to shove in the weeks to come, it will, so easier to say no now, so no become the default answer.<br />
<br />
Going to a comp this weekend, that'll set the mind on the right track! -
most of my mates are trained up now - usually just do it for a tease now, so that's all good.<br />
<br />
Sooo, a week gone by. Counties BB comp last week, that lit a fire in the belly, ready to get back on stage NOW!!<br />
<br />
However, if I don't stop eating the bananana lollies off the judges tables I never will!! Weight on Tuesday back to 90.3 but BF% was down to 11 I think it was. Regardless, a bit of 'wobbly eating and the scales tell you!<br />
<br />
Training on new programme good this week, legs wrecked, just for a change. painting going great guns, but don't know if I'll be sticking with it - still early days, so we will see! -
Bart, any advice about tight/sore abductors? I've been getting more flexible and getting lower on front and back squats - seem to have hit a sticking point and I've worked out its an abductor/hip thingy problem. Worst when doing front squats and trying to keep the torso upright.<br />
Any tips about good stretches or supplementary exercises would be awesome. I'll be asking my PT but keen to see what the fern Trashheap says!<br />
<br />
Going to ask Kirwan as well, just in case this is something that a lot of people encounter in Xfit. -
Sooooo, stretches - have always been very flexable even when a fat bastaard, so I am the last person to ask about that sorry! Just do lots of stretches!<br />
<br />
Nick, yup, does not take the body long to show sugar effects. I usuallu get Yoda face!<br />
<br />
Training carries on as per normal, has been good, hard work and with the painting gig, on my feet and moving all day, weight has been peeling off. 86.5 this morning, 11% bodyfat. That BF though goes up and down more to do with water than anything I reckon - last week sometime I was 87.something, and the BF was 14 odd. But so long as it keeps going down, all will be good!! <br />
<br />
Body has certainly changed in the last year since the operation (I think it's been ab out 11 months). Bigger across the chest and traps, now that the waist is starting to shrink again, my 'V' is much more pronounced, so all is going well, apart from one short arse bicep!!<br />
<br />
Over. -
Jegga, yes, I could not remember who sent them though! So stoked, have knocked off the WW1 geran navy one, and can't wait to hoe into the rowing ones. THanks muchly! Not much time for reading at the moment doing a netfit PT course at the moment whcih is my 'off time' in the evening.<br />
<br />
And speaking of rowing, knocked off a 2k in 7:13.0 this morning, 41 seonds off my PB, but first row for years. I had to set a target for the Gym 2k times board. THere is a sub 7 in the tank, but I just didn't want to hurt this morning!! Wus me.<br />
<br />
Weight 86.6 and 10.1% at the moment, so no change in the last week, but with no cardio (or a spin x 1 a week and a Saturday morning 45 minute treadmill), there is plenty of scope for more loss, the 80.5 target does not seem so far away nowe as when I was hovering around the 90-92 mark!<br />
<br />
New programme this week, and I am test judging at the Auckland NABBA show this weekend, Glenfield College, wish me luck (and I get insite into what judges are looking for on stage, so it wiull have to help!).<br />
<br />
That is all, over and out for another week., -
<p>I know Bart hasn't been around on here for a while but it looks like the rehab and work have paid off with a win in the NABBA Wellington Champs</p>
