    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.

      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

        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!

            Champions!!<br />
            <br />
            Novice Athletic Champion and overall Athletic champion. <br />
            <br />
            Mrs Bartman got second over 35 womens figure to a chick that has been competing for 2 years - judge came down and said to us only because she did not show her 'V' properly - inexperience.<br />
            <br />
            And Wellington mixed pairs champs.<br />
            <br />
            Judges stoked with both of our physiques. Said they were happy to see two well conditioned 'athletes' joining the ranks, most people were surprised that we had only been training for only 7 months and looking so wicked.<br />
            <br />
            anyway, nationals in two weeks, labout weekend sunday Westlake Boys High auditorium. <br />
            <br />
            Will post some photos at some stage.<br />
            <br />
            But bloody great fun, and in Mitch Speak a great journey!!

                      I'm so happy for you both.<br />
                      <br />
                      For Mrs Bartman to get 2nd against a 2yr bodybulder is awesome and I will bet that she will beat her at the NZ champs as now she knows what needs to be done to beat her.<br />
                      <br />
                      I'm not too surprised about these results either. The amount of hard work you have both put in is seeing the reward you desreve!! Simply magnificent!!!! Both of you!

                                    Fuck a duck! In the words of Ford Fairlane "Unfuckenbelievable". Serious question time, do you feel really healthy and fit in that condition, or would you prefer a few more Kegs on ya? Are you energy levels as high or ican it be a struggle to function/think clearly at times somedays?

                                      mate, the last week is madness-memory fucked up, short temper, all bad, but you struggle through it. UP untoil the lats month of serious food deprivation, you are the fittest and healthiest you have ever been. Neiother me or the Mrs sick at all this winter - we both usually get a few sniffles. But eating and food intake of vegetables has never been as hig - almost zero processed and fatty foods. you can't help BUT be healthy. It's just when you near game day that it is fucked! Much like rugby. All the traiin gis healthy, the 80 minutes of full body contact bashing is not healthy for you.
