Count down to the Nationals 08

[Nato]

I thought if i done a workout journal then it might give me that extra motovation i need to stop eating so much peanut butter on toast leading up to the nationals :pfft: lol

I qualifyed for the nationals last weekend at the Waikato Show.I have had this week off to get my bodyweight back up and Will start back into training tomorrow, So i can get some structure back into my eating and from there will start bringing my bodyfat down. I got down to 4% for the elite :grin: am hopeing to do better than that for the nationals!

Split is as follows

Monday....Back

Tuesday....Chest

Wenesday....Legs

Thursday....Just cardio

Friday.... Arms

Saturday....Shoulders and Traps

Sunday.... Just cardio

I will post stats after a weeks training...

With a pair of wheels like that, I think we are going to see some impressive squat numbers.

Definitely going to follow this log.

With 12 weeks to go your legs are going to look insane Nato, they are already pretty vascular.

Good luck for the countdown, hope it all goes smoothly and injury free for you.

[Nato]

I was gonna open a 24hr gym in Aucks, but then i meet this girl............. she lives in hams soooo hams it is.

the seated row machine has a pad (like sitting backwards on a chair) .

the cable rows is sitting on a bench (no surport). can lean right forward and strecth out then pull back just past 90.

hope you can picture the difference??

Soundz gr8 man...good luck in your search and with getting the gym started.I see u keen on a 24 hour gym...I been tryna find 1 of those since I been in NZ and 1 thats truly hardcore bodybuilding orientated.The closest I`ve found is up here in East Tamaki.

Yea totally man.I follow bodybuilding day in and day out.Set high standards as well comparing myself,not to novices or amateurs,but to Victor,Phil or Dexter.Itz gotta rule your life and itz only those who eat sleep and breathe it that succeed.

I should be at Nationals so I`ll come give u some support.Look forward to seeing what u bring to the stage.
