Yes, most definitely! It is funny, I was running a google search to try to find gyms and this forum came up. I just stumbled upon it. It is really good and I like it. I am on a few forums in the US, but there are a lot of people on them and it gets a bit impersonal. Too many people, too much to say, you know how that gets.

Again, this is what a person from overcrowded Los Angeles really finds refreshing here in NZ, that you can just get on a board like this one, ask a few questions and actually get real answers.

I would love to keep contact when I return. Thank you.

That's a bugger about your employer. Can you find another company in NZ that might be more understanding?

I am so trying. If not, I will have to get back to the States asap!

It is a shame that the locum work is like this here.

I can't understand why it is like this though. It is a real shame.

Thank your for your support. Will give an update when I receive more information next week.

Thanks for taking the time to come on the site Doc. I hope you can find the gym facilities to fit your training regime in Hamilton. You would be a great asset in NZ BBing if you decided to stay & compete, otherwise I wish you all the best in getting that Pro Card in the US. My assessment is you are not far away from it. Cheers.

I went to muscular development and got these from the North Americans in September. One was the open class(3rd), the other the over 35 class(2nd). A few weeks before that show I did the Masters nationals and came in runner up in that show. It is the way it is. I think that I keep doing competitions because I can. I love the look. I don't love the starving, but overall I enjoy it no matter where it leads me. I just like to do it and have been involved in the fitness industry for a long time now. Guess that I always will be too. The only part of it I hate is the starving part and I do quite a bit of that which should be starting pretty soon come to think of it.

The photos aren't anything special, probably 9x6s shot with a digital SLR at 5 mega-pixel res.

The ladies on the other hand :clap: that's a beautiful thing they all deserve to win. I'd make a terrible judge I know...

Seriously though, welcome to NZ Dr Barbie and hope all goes well for you here
