          THink the width of my back would definitely be the biggest change - chest has come up too. Basically being hammers down on the upper bod to get it to match up with the shanks. But in saying that, think my legs are advanced hugely on last year too - not bigger, just seem harder - more 3 dimensional, dunno how to explain it, but certainly improved.<br />
          <br />
          Taking a long time between comps certainly make the changes happen. Can't wait until show time and we get some photos of Mrs B on stage, the difference is going to be out of this world.

              lol, would be like betting on the bloody ballet hooroo - just not done!! But I'm quietly confident, there is one other bloke that I know is pretty good who is going to be there, but with this sport in the regional champs you just don't know week to week who's going to compete, so could be a fleet of decent bods on stage, or you and a bunch of fat boys!!

                hamstrings have come out to play - know I'm getting close to comp time when they start looking like this.<br />

                  13 days to go - Ness and myself, As you can see, Ness a lot leaner and bigger than last time out. We're ready to compete NOW though, but the time always flies over these last couple of weeks. Waxing, tanning, dehydration, training, cardio, routines, compulsory poses. and sleep, sleep, sleep. Both now 1kg off competition weight, so that is not going to be a problem this time out. Is weird, we always seem to be the same weight off comp weight at this stage of things.<br />

                    The definition in your wife's back and shoulders is excellent. Talk about being cut.

                      Saw a lass practicing a her poses and some sort of routine whilst I was in the gym today. Presuming she may be in the same comp as you guys.

                        Wicked! Do you have a nice set of see through pumps as well Bart?? - excellent for showing that calf definition!!<br />
                        <br />
                        Great symmetry/balance for you both - awesome to see all that super hard work paying off.

                            <br />
                            and a good workout this morning - chest, first time in months ZERO poin in shoulders and or 'tennis elbow' bits. Hoo-rah, as the Marines would say. Triceps too this morning, always with chest at the moment. But good workout - upped the DB weight by one set on the rack, and it was a struggle, but got through. The press ups after though were HARD! All on target though for Whakatane - 12 days...

                              There seems to be a small child trapped inside your arm....<br />

                              Quite a bit more bulk in your upper body this year.

                                that was certainly the plan (not to tap children, get bigger). Is fun though when you lean down and finally get to SEE the hard work, and if it is paying off!!

                                  lucky legs this morning. smashed smashed and smashed some more. ouch. energy zapped. Leads to much harsher moderation, bye bye davidav. Newter might have taken note of 'the vanishing'. And then again, he might not have...<br />

                                    Cardio this morning, treadmill at gym, all good.<br />
                                    <br />
                                    Weight yesterday 81.1kg, 600g off contest weight, so zero worries on that front for Whakatane in a couple of weekends time. Scales BF% was 8.5, so if I take off the 3.5 to equate it to the trainers reading, I'm sitting at 5%! We'll find out on Sunday when we visit trainer, but all going well at the moment, touch wood...

                                      Awesome Bart - nicely prepped for the comp. Must be really nice to be right on the verge of hitting your comp target weight and BF. All that super hard work is paying off. Next step is to dye yourself orange and prepare for war!!

                                        one more step, my LEAST favourite. Defoliation (as I call it). Waxing. I reckon this is the main reason I'll quite this sport. Eating - sweet; training, easy peasey; war paint, no worries; whole body wax, fuck me sideways that hurts.<br />
                                        <br />
                                        Takes a lot of pressure off though the weight thing being right. And in the fragile states of minds that you end up in over the next week, that's a biggie.
