nzfbb wellington champs " april 2008 "

[diamond]

anyone planning on doing the show ?

[MasterTel]

Very good question, diamond!

The date for the event is confirmed - April 12th at Memorial Theatre, Victoria University.

This date is a bit earlier than last year - partly to assist a team from New Plymouth preparing for an IFBB event in Hawaii on April 19th, and also to give those competitors competing in the Elite event in March to have another comp to aim for just 4 weeks later.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions about this event, please feel free to let me know.

I remember that class last year at the Wgtn Champs. The judges sure put you guys through your paces at the pre-judging!!

As for me, I'm just trying to put some more mass on at the moment. Probably aim to compete later in the year as I'm enjoying the minimal cardio and licorice allsorts lol

[wgtnmuscle]

yes should be a great show

im planning on doing it

13 weeks to go :)

[ED_AISH]

I am very tempted to do it as I enjoyed it so much last year.

I just don't think I will have put on enough size by then to be competitive in the 80-90 open... but it would be a good way to stop me getting too fat.

what about you nzmm...

[MasterTel]

Good to see a few of you are considering competing at this event!

Something I tried last year which seemed to work well was condensing the two sessions i.e. start the pre-judging at 11am and the finals at 5pm (instead of the usual 10am and 6pm start times). I did this for the North Island Champs in Masterton to accommodate the anticipated large number of competitors and spectators making a day trip from Wellington, Hutt Valley, Manawatu, Wanganui etc. It gave everyone an extra hour to prepare / sleep in on the Saturday morning, plus meant people could hit the pub or head home earlier after the night show. It also meant less time between the two sessions which suited those on a day trip and not having a motel room to relax in.

I plan to do the same for this year's regional events in Wellington and Masterton - plus start the finals for Nationals at 4pm instead of 5pm as per the 2007 event in Auckland. What do people think? Any other suggestions or comments?

[Growing Concern]

Thanks Mastertel,

Wow you are organised once again and It well be a great show, I do not plan on doing it this year,would love to as was alot of fun but trying to put on muscle is more challenging if I keep competing. but I am available to help you and organise a team to help out once again tanning etc.

Do they have a novice over 120kg class?

[diamond]

if they do , and it's an over 120kg womens class then you may actually have a chance of getting some action after the show.

Hey MT, any idea of how the numbers are looking for the show?

[MasterTel]

As always it's impossible to tell how many people will turn up to compete, but the interest so far is on a par with last year when we had 37 competitors. These early shows are always hard to predict, especially as many regular competitors wait until later in the year to qualify for then compete at Nationals.

At a guess I would say between 35 and 40, but hopefully more!

[teamfatboy]

How's the Wellington champs looking ? Anyone on here competing?
