Toying with the idea of competing in an INBA Bodybuilding competition next year not sure if I still have the determination to reach the degree of conditional I am wanting though. Dieting has never been fun especially the last 4-5 weeks... 

You should, man! I think I remember how you looked when you last got shredded.... aesthetic as faaark!  

 

Seriously - do it.

 

And congrats on the house, too.

I did get well conditioned but lacked back thickness and width and thickness in chest. 

 

That was in 2012 with an extra four years training hopefully added some thickness haha

To be fair was after a lot of volume of squats and rowing so the inflammation would have been loyal! 

They are definitely growing though, always been a good responding muscle.

Yeah they are this year for fundraising. 

 

They need more meets throughout the year I reckon, but comes down to money and interest.

Update: Managed to tweak some muscle in my upper back close to the spine causing the muscles to manipulate thoracic vertebrate at least that was the diagnosis. Took sometime to recovery from this beginning on site  and working long days. Managed to see a physio in Rolleston "Sports Rehab Physiotherapy" the place is great and got me moving pain free  within a couple sessions. 

 

Before I got injured I did an NZPF push pull fundraising meet and managed to pull an all time pb of 227.5 beltless and hook grip. Nothing outstanding or competitive but for myself a massive achievement. Looking at getting a 235 pull this year in the gym. Won't be competing again for a while being away from home. 

 

Rowing on the erg has also had to take a break for time management reason which is difficult to except as I was wanting to compete in the annual erg races which I though I had a good chance of doing well and perhaps setting some records. 

 

Training at the moment is a compound lift with some sets of isolation work, no real split or program just train what isn't to sore or painful to do. Most days are back accessories with the logic and thicker back will be able to pull more and perhaps deter shoulder injuries. Weather that logic is sound not to sure, I enjoy training back a lot more than other groups anyways. 

 

Found a gym in Rolleston "Frank Brothers" which I think has recently changed ownership to become a crossfit gym so plenty barbells and plates but lack of machines.

Rolleston - town of the future!

 

Be a wee bit nippy down there at the moment, wouldn't it?

I've got a house in West Melton its really nice area. 

 

Rolleston is the closest town though. Really development here is just as crazy as Hamilton (true city of the future) at the moment a lot building happening. 

 

Don't feel the cold with under ground heating and house climate control! Had snow a couple times. 

[jimmybro1]

Wednesday - Legs

 

Squats 160x5x12 

Split squats 32kgx4x12 

Leg Press 6ppsx5x20

 

Squats were pretty challenging as deadlifted on the heavier side the previous day so did volume instead of higher intensity. Poor programming really back was still a bit stiff as expected and wasn't the best feeling sets. Done regardless. 

 

 

[maccaz]

still strong af, any plans to compete?
