              and that's not me in the purple trunks - that guy is MASSIVE. Might have a little help from the local pharmacist though methinks...

                  Fantastic, well done! You're much more cut than purple trunk guy.<br />
                  <br />
                  What's the plan now?

                    JK, chicks have a physique class - the lady to my left, the big boppers, and figure, the chick to my right, which is the same as my class - a height to weight thing so you can't get too big. <br />
                    <br />
                    Plan now - Philippines comp in about 17 days or so, then off season, and keep on growing chest, shoulders and arms, and then defend a title, I'vw won it twice and lost it once, now I want to defend...<br />
                    <br />
                    Then maybe I can retire.<br />
                    <br />
                    and maybe not.

                        yeah, Figure class is classy, not that the NZ women BBs get THAT big anyway, in comparison to the offshore chicks! Our food guru does physique in NZ, but when she competes overseas, she does figure!

                          Congrats Bart! So if I understand the various class thing right, that makes you the best bodybuilder in NZ? Is that what the overall title means?

                              yeah Cyclo - won one lost one, won one back - defence going to be the tough part now...<br />
                              <br />
                              Kirwan - yep. you hae overall in athletic, physique (men and women and figure). All the class winners do another comparison round at the end of the night and the overall done from there.<br />
                              <br />
                              Athletic for instance has International, Open Short, Open tall, Novice short, novice tall and Masters. All those winners then but heads for the overall Mr New Zealand title. at the moment, MY title!! LOL.

                                That really puts your accomplishment in perspective IMO, awesome work mate.

                                  Yeah got the chisel factor out over Mr Huge there Bart - all through the legs and arms, but especially the abs where it looks like he's smuggling a couch cushion!<br />
                                  <br />
                                  Well done. Best form of defense is attack and all that.

                                    the physique monsters are always softer than the athletic competitors, buggered if I know why - with that amount of muscle, if you got your body fats WAAAAY down, you'd look even better. <br />
                                    <br />
                                    yes, defend the title - or win it again. I think I was driven this year by the fact that I lost to my mate Rick last year for the overall. So all trainings have been focused. So the new mantra is, "train like you're in second place". oe some such, I am sure I have seen that somewhere in the past!

                                      stood on the scales today for the first time since the weigh in on Friday where I was 77 point something. 85 kg. now hopefully the water will start coming out - certainly heading to the toilet more often now which is always a good thing! Ness's water coming off now - she's down 2 kilos from yesterday to today. I was too scared to weight myself yesterday!! NOt really, but it does play with your head the weight gain, even though you do KNOW that it is fluid retention after the dehydration for the comp.<br />
                                      <br />
                                      Ceratinly the dryest I've been for a comp ever. AFter the show I almost could not stop drinking. Had a 6 pack of Pepsi Max in the fridge at the unit where we were staying (you skull back a can at halftime between shows), and when we got back at midnight-ish, I had downed the remaining 4 cans within half an hour - along with the two cokes we got with our Maccas on the way home. And a bottle of mizone and some horrible Musashi sports drink that we won on stage. And was still looking for more!! No wonder there was not much room for food!!

                                        83.3 this morning - 1.7kg of fluid flushed in 24 hours. Slower to come off after each competition - I call it the speed wobbles. They get more and more with each competition as you go along. So I think we've got it pretty right with doing 3 in a season - this 4th is do-able, but any more and I think the body would really rebel against itself. The post Philippines wobble is going to be fun - adding in a flight too, water retention going to be just fab. Although as we are going to be offshore the goody box we take won't be half as big, and less sugars, more savoury on the post comp binge certainly helps!<br />

                                        todays workout second chest . back / biceps of the week. Heaps stronger on the incline press. And is funny, with the extra fluid in the muscles there's this really big looking bloke looking back at me from the mirrors - more like a physique competitor than an athletic, is cool!!
