'We knocked the bastard off'

[BartMan]

Two weeks, three days to go, and one entire bodywax yet to come, some dark bloody tan stuff, and we're away...<br />

When you say entire bodywax....? Awesome though work Bart, your face now has that really really fit, sickly gaunt look to it. Muscles on muscles, you are putting members of Fat Fighters like me to shame. All the best for the comp.

[Bones]

Wow awesome work mate, you should be well on your way to at least a placing!

[Kirwan]

Now that you have been getting so many positive comments, can I make one small Zoolander reference about the last photo? No? OK then.

[BartMan]

lol - yes, the facials... I think that is my "kiss my arse' look... Still needs work!<br />
<br />
Thanks RB, we'll be calling in for some of those spare ribs and guiness on our way home...!

[MN5]

When you come and pick up your dumbbells can you please keep your shirt on ? I don't want to look bad in front of the wife. Cheers. xzxcool<br />
<br />
Not enough fat on either of the Barts to fry an egg, outstanding effort from the pair of them.

[Hooroo]

Woah! Even more of a change again in this short period.<br />
<br />
Mrs Bartman is as cut as you now bro!!!! I can't believe the change in less than a month. Looking fantastic!!!<br />
<br />
You two are going to kill it man! I'm so impressed at the dedication and transformation in you both, especially in the last month

[Paekakboyz]

Shit that is impressive!! you guys are looking like the pros!<br />
<br />
Amazing what the body (and mind!) can achieve - Like Hooroo said even a few weeks ago you both looked in mean shape and cut as but that last set of pics are epic. Well done guys.<br />
<br />
where was the comp again? would be primo to have some local ferners show up and wave burgers at ya from the audience!! xzxfishing <br />
<br />
awesome work!

For some reason when I read this thread title I thought of this Arnold<br />

Fucking good work Bart,<br />
<br />
Just out of curiousity where did you find your trainer? I can get to 10-12% but struggle to go lower, would love to have an eating/cardio/weights plan from an actual former bodybuilder (which I assume is what has happened?)<br />
<br />
Where would I find someone like that and how much does it cost? also how long did it take you to get from 10% to 6%?<br />
<br />
Show us the wheels!

[Dodge]

fucking impressive Bart, I trust you're going to follow the obligatory half bottle of wine the night before the competition to make sure you're dehydrated enough to be properly cut on the day? Just make sure you're not too dehydrated, apparently collapsing with cramps whilst posing is pretty painful...

[MN5]

Bart obviously things like pushups and pull ups will be a breeze now but how are your strength gains ? as powerful as when you were a rampaging front rower ?

[BartMan]

Hey Bar - Teresa Edwards, multi time NZ champion as carious things! She is wicked - from the eating plan to the training - all mapped out, you just have to get stuck in and DO IT!!<br />
<br />
WHere abouts are you based? If in NZ, i could ask Teresa who is good nearby to you?<br />
<br />
Dodge - Trainer has all that sorted for us, carbing up and down and chocolate and booze and you name it. I thin the Allies on D-Day weren't as organised as Teresa!!<br />

October 10 - Wellington Regional Championships - Lower Hutt Town Hall.[/b] Anyone who wants to come along and shoud for Mr and Mrs BartMan feel free, apparently is good for competitors to hear plenty of noise while on stage in their fucked up mental states!!! WIll let you know about that one!

[BartMan]

MN%, nope, not as powerful as all - the maxim that mass moves mass is right! However, did chin ups for the first time in months today, part of a triple set, chins first, but cranked out three sets of ten easy - struggling with the last two reps of the last set. But with bodyweight down, they were bloody ridiculously easy!

[Bar]

In Melbourne unfortunately Bart, looks like she certainly knows what shes doing you both look the goods!

[willie the weka]

Fark just showed the photo's to mrs weka - she was blown away, hadn't seen the latest pics myself and fark!! Both of you have gone to a different level again!!<br />
<br />
Amazing fella. Good luck to you both. Kia kaha

[rustycruiser]

Jeez, you both look bloody impressive. Good job, and good luck with the competition.

[BartMan]

thanks Weka and company - light at the end of the tunnel now, and it's not a train!<br />
<br />
Saturday is now officially named 'chocolate day'! Then Saturday off, and back in the saddle for, potentially, if we qualify, nationals two weeks later.<br />
<br />
And then maninentance, work on weak points (like my spelling), and look ahead and see what we do next.

[bayimports]

came visiting, after seeing the invitation on the main page. Quite different to the Bart I met in Chch in about 2005. Quite an outstanding effort, good luck for the comp. After this, what is the plan? Up a weight class?<br />
<br />
Again, superb..look forward to see you posting photos from the comp and with medals of course

[BartMan]

abut 30 kilos different there BI!!!<br />
<br />
I am competing in 'athletic', which is the little boys, I want to do physique, which is the big boys, but will have to work hard on chest / shoulders / upper body in general to do that. Is very hard to get this weight down, and want to lift heavy weights and grow!
