    ooooohhhh, the dehydration is kicking in, diuretics doing their job. Woke up in the night (from my 5 3 second bursts of sleep, by christ there are some crap movies on Sky at 4am) with my mouth so dry it would make the Sahara desert seem like the worst swamp in a swamp filled country of bad swamps on a monsoon day.<br />
    <br />
    Skipped gym this morning, nothing in the tank left to burn. Was out last day anyway, but just couldn't drag carcasses out of bed. First tan done, and we're looking like bodybuilders now, it is amazing Vaness'a transformation. One more tan tonight, and then we hit the road to the Whakatane Little Theatre, look out road, two carb depleted zombies on their way. Although tomorrow we start carbing up - oats, protein powder, egg whites and peaches for breakfast, mmmmmm. and then kumara and veg and peaches all through the day.<br />
    <br />
    All going well, tired as expected, but sort of used to it now. Weight this morning a whopping 80kg, couple more fat% points off too by the scales, 4.6. Feel like an Ethiopian. Got to just 'think big' for the next few days, I am the biggest and meanest on the block, King of the fucking hill, this is MY stage, back of small fry!! All the while smiling!!<br />
    <br />
    anyway, that's all for now, catch you tomorrow night perhaps from base camp, Whakatane!!

      Sounds great (condition wise not general great!) bart.<br />
      <br />
      What is the deal with the carbing up on the day before? How does that work?

        muscles suck the carbs in as they are starving for the glycogen, as you have forced them to give that up by the carb deplete as the body needs something to drive it, and with each carb molecule, it also harvests from the body two water molecules, so your skin basically gets thinner, and your muscles get bigger. In layman terms anyway - our trainer explains it much better than that, and in more sentences!!

                thanks guys, sitting in motel in WHakatane now, last meal before tomorrow mornings icecream and banana and pancakes (!) a quick dream tan, routines a few times, and then SHOWTIME. Soooo ready to go. Will keep you posted via Hooroo and photos tomorrow night if I can get my face ouit of the trough - only have a couple of days eating 'whatever' before we resume the journey and reset the sights for Wellington on the 17th September, and then the big one two weeks later, nationals. And then the real big one a week later, the TSF Barbarians weekend...

                    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 />

                                Well done to you both. Looking in fine form there on stage. Well earned too as there has been a shitload of hard work put in by both of you.

                                  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 : )

                                    Well done mate, great definition and size. Your legs just blow the competition away.

                                      speaking of legs... today was legs day (and thanks K, they certainly separate me from the average bodybuilder), leg press, one legged extensions, dumbell hamstring curls and donkey calf raises.

                                        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!!
