[teamfatboy]

98kg n 16%...

starting another 10-week fatburner next week, which should knock off another 6kg and 2-3%...fingers crossed!

[poos_n_wees]

Wow, you must be looking lean!

Thanks P&W, I'm getting there....followed that 'gimme some skin' thread a while back. if someone needs spare, I've got plenty!

I'm aiming to fit in two-x 10-week fatburner routines before spring - this could be the first summer since records began that I can hit the beach without keeping a look-out for japanese whaling ships!

Does anyone else reckons sizes (esp for men) are creeping up in this country? I'm creeping down the clothing rack and it'd be a PITA to find that sizes are getting bigger at the same time! :pfft: :pfft:

[biggurl27]

All looking good to me, well done! :grin: Mmmmmmmmm chocolate! I want some :cry:

They were prolly all at your technique and the weight you're lifting! I have a bad habit of sneaking peeks at ppl in the gym who squat properly.. just 'cos its so rare to see !

[teamfatboy]

Today was a ?rest day?...

0500 - breakfast - oats, grapefruit juice, coffee, ps

0530 - off to airport

0630 - departure for AKL.....no, wait, let's sit around on the tarmac for half an hour

0700 - now let's go...

0830 - [Pilot] let's do scenic laps of the Coromandel

0900 - [Co-pilot] no, I've got a better idea - let's go to the 'tron

0930 - arrive in Hamilton

0945 - get on bus, cruise to Auckland

1130 - arrive in Auckland four hours late - jeez, I could have gone to Sydney quicker

1145 - start drive to the North Shore.... (but NO SHOPPING, this was work!)

4:15pm - after cramming seven hours work into two hours space, drive back to airport...find more delays

7:00pm catch plane

8:00pm get to Wellie world, find car

8:30pm get home....

Yeah, I know, weather's unpredictable, this stuff happens, but... :doh:

Surprisingly, given quality of food on sale in airports, the diet was good, altho the legs were not happy at being stuck in a bus seat for two hours after the trashing they got the other day...and yes, the audience was watching the form on the squats. Turns out I have a little habit of 'cocking' the back on the drive out of the hole (hard to explain but I know what I meant :?) but I got a pointer about setting the chest first which seemed to click as it made it easier to keep good form.

[poos_n_wees]

Whoaa, sounds like you had a long day What airline did you travel with? And was it supposed to land in Hamilton or Auckland?

Great job on keeping with the diet today despite the rough circumstances :clap:

[biggurl27]

Oooh bugger thats no good mate! My flight was only delayed an hour coming back tonight, got in 6.30pm into Wellington instead of 5.15pm so that was cool. I ate chocolate on the plane, it was grand :grin: Dunkin Donuts in Auckland airport whilst I was waiting was even better.

It was the sucky weather in the big smoke, Air NZ tried, we had one missed-approach at AKL before the pilots took us to Hamilton instead. At one stage they were actually talking of going all the way back to Wellington. Irony of ironies, it was great by the time I got to the Shore, nice and clear!

Of course, the knock-on consequences meant flights were farbled up all day - but I'd allowed for that and my flight back was roughly where it was supposed to be. Once on the ground in Hamilton it made sense to carry on to AKL, since the first spare seat from Hamilton to WLG was not 'til 3pm anyway.

Saw the Dunkin' Donuts (wasn't there the last time I was thru, shurely?], real happy I kept my two bux to myself, but the temptation was there! [how else would I know exactly how much they cost :naughty: ]

Back-shoulders tomorrow, so expect v e r y s l o w t y p i n g : :shock:

[biggurl27]

Good man, nice will power!

[teamfatboy]

Wide-grip pulldowns - 10@40kg, 8@50kg, 6@50kg, 12@45kg

Bent-over row - 8@40kg, 6@60kg, 6@60kg

SM shrugs - 10@60, 10@80, 10@80, 7@80, 10@80 w/straps.

SM Press - 10@20kg, 8@30kg, 6@40kg, 12@30kg...failure on last three

DB side raise, 2 sets of 8/10 reps at 7.5/6 kg

DB Lying rear delt raise - 5 sets of 10/side at 7.5kg

SB Crunch w/10kg plate overhead - 3 sets of 25.

Yep, trainer kicked my ass...grip strength was a bit of an issue in the shrugs.

... glad to hear it all worked out in the end though.

Thanks P&W...it's all karma eh! After doin a lot of uneventful flying, the law of averages catches up with everyone, and I joined the throng. It could be worse - so far, I've never not got anywhere I was going when it really mattered. This was just business, not life-or-death.

Of course, amid the chaos, yesterday was my "rest day" hah!)..so naturaly I trained harder today to make up. Gearing back up for a serious assault on the fatcells over the next nine weeks...scrupulously clean eating, meticulous adherence to the plan....and even trying to log a new PB in the Harbour Capital 10k in June. I figure all that cardio's got to have a practical application, right?
