WOW it would be interesting to see just how far they have gone over there. i mean i have heard comments in NZ aobut the class and how the figure isn't body building as they have very little muscle mass, and just look skinny. I don't agree with the excessive muscle, and facial hair etc but i feel that as body builders, male or female, muscle is needed to be considered BB.

I think that women can be muscular and feminine. but maybe i just haven't seen the far extent of this :)

You know what, I did get some photos, but I have decided not to post them for 2 reasons:

1) because I don't really want to upset anyone at a personal level. This site is viewed worldwide now and I wouldn't like my observations to be seen as a personal attack. Don't do to others what you would not have done to yourself, but my observations and thoughts on this matter still stand!!

and 2) I still gotta go to the Olympia where most of those I met and saw will be there and I don't wanna get my head punched in by a chick!!!!! Know what I mean!!

Hi Hrdcor. With all the Balco drama and the feds snooping round in the Pros Hotel handing out court papers etc. What is the general feeling with the current situation regarding the feds and the US laws and the substances witch hunt? Or does everybody just get on with it and be extra careful. There seems to be 2 opposing sides to performance enhancement in the US. Your observations?

Rigger, I think the Govt's involvement and new ratings on steriod selling has just made the dealers smarter over here. The dealers have every conceivable avenue of supply, doctor's prescriptions seem to be readily available, and choice and avalibility seems to be extremely plentiful in talking to people.

I do note though there doesnt seem to be any opposition to the use of steroids in the sport or the gyms as far as I can see. Actually everybody seems to be using, from athletes to business men to figure girls etc. I even had a women come up to me in the gym and asked, "Are you a nutritionist? Yes?", then asked if she should change her diet because she is on GH!!

I have been to 3 NPC (amateur NZFBB equivalent) shows since being here and I gotta tell ya there 4-6 place getters would kick our Mr NZ competitors' arses. Steroids are plentiful, it is the norm - right or wrong, that is how it is. Our NZFBB is not the norm - remember that, that could be the reason none of our international competitors ever do well.

Stanazol, GH, thyroid and halo testin seems to be very popular - with the figure girls!!!!!!

Oh, and if you wanna know how I know, it's because I ask, no one seems to have a problem openly talking about it, in fact they have even asked me for any tricks I might know of!!!

Like I said, right or wrong, that's for you to decide, but those are my observations to date!

FAIR ENough too. i reckon their is a big mis conception with steroid use (not abuse) here in NZ. I think if it used responsibly their is nothing wrong with it. and it brings the quality of competitors up. it is pretty annoying that NZ is behind the rest of the world and if anyone wants to make it they have to move to OZ, UK or USA. first it was the brain drain now it is the muscle drain :)

For the routines do the guys use a coryory.... a corogra....a cururu... ha ha haha. sorry buddy cant help but take the piss a little bit. Was talking to jamie about the forum and he said to jump on.

Lee is in Memphis this weekend racing for a Million Dollars, I stayed home to look after the animals because there is meant to be a hurricane coming!!!! If Lee wins can you go around to my house and tell Ali I might not be home for a few extra weeks as I will be in the Bahamas at the buffet!!! I know you would handle that for me!!!

Lee's still in Memphis, he got right through to the last 20 cars (out of 400) in the million dollar race. He won around 6k, not bad for a weekend!!

I trained legs yesterday and because I was without Lee I thought I would go heavy and bring my reps and volume down from what we had been doing. I impressed myself actually - I did 6 plates a side hacksquats for 6 reps!!!! And 14 plates a side legpress for 8 reps (best damn leg press machine I have ever used actually, so smooth and perfect) so maybe I am getting stronger, not bigger, just stronger.

My latest article has just come out over here in Muscle Mag International, it's a follow up interview of myself where I have an alter ego based on all the bodybuilding jerks I have meet over the years!! Should be interesting when I get to the Olympia and turn up at the Muscle mag booth as in all my articles I take the piss out of bodybuilding and bodybuilders!!!

Any how, catch up with yas soon with another update, regards hrdcor

Dude I have been writing for Muscle Mag International for over 2 years now. The problem is the version we get in NZ is an edited-down version of the American / European version.

The guy who owns the Australasian rights to MMI doesn't seem to like me that much as he has only published about 2-3 of my articles (maybe they are a bit over the top for him!!!) so people in NZ hardly get to see my stuff, but in USA/Europe they love it!

I actually am one of the Mags most popular writers and have had people from all over the World send in Fan mail to MMI.

I don't go under a ghost name in the mag, I go by my real name (as if no one doesn't know who I am on here!!) Actually one article I wrote on the bullshit that is known as the Natural Federations generated the most Fan/Hate mail MMI had ever had!!!! Even got threatened to be taken out!! Cool, huh!!

Lee has the FLU!!!

Getting back from his racing he was pretty drained, and we only did cardio yesterday, but this morning he felt like crap. He did his morning cardio then came in and rested again (very unusual for Lee). He decided to train so in we went, we did legs. (I am still suffering from Saturday's heavy leg workout but I dug in and did them with him.)

He struggled through and was definitely labouring throughout the workout, having to sit down and stop himself from being sick between each set. We got through the workout but he will definitely need to rest and perhaps take some antibiotics. (That's if he will listen to me.)

Anyhow that's our day today - let's hope we can get this knocked on the head ASAP so we can carry on. (I will probably get it next out of sympathy!!)

Regards hrdcor
