The unswoling is going well, down from max weight (of 114.7kg / 15.5% November and post bulk weight of 111-ish in late Jan) to a more tidy101kg with 6 weeks dieting. Still fat as, particularly on lower back.

Another 9 weeks to go!! :shock:

Currently:

2) Large shredded chicken & lite mayo can, free veges (cucumber, tomatoes, capsicum, carrott)

3) 125g Express Basmati Rice, Large tin tuna (generally eat 4/5th of this shit!)

4) 125g Express Basmati Rice, Protein 30g with 200ml trim milk

5) Banana, Protein 30g with 200ml trim milk

Train 90mins

30 mins Cardio X-trainer/Bike

Same old, same old here.....business as usual!

7 weeks into diet now - haven't cheated once, haven't missed any meals, haven't missed any training sessions, despite a fair bit of travel & work / social commitments.

Had a few tough workouts / cardio where the mind was struggling a bit due to carb depletion, but pushed through them! I found watching "N.Z.S.A.S: First Among Equals" pretty motivating - kinda puts in perspective that as tough as dieting & training for a show is, it aint the hardest thing you could attempt!

Anyhows, bodyweight must be around the 100 mark - bit scared to check tbh! :grin: Midsection leaning out, legs/shoulders quite lean/vascular when training, back still pretty smooth. Everything feeling small & soft - product of low glycogen storage I'd imagine?!

Will still make an assessment in 4 weeks as to whether I'll do the Chch show, if not in good enough shape I'll do the next available show. Booked tickets & accomodation tho, so in one form or another I'll be there!

Feeling tired, cardio getting tougher, feeling small compared to guys I know are 20kg lighter, basically headfucked! :pfft: :grin:

Diet hasn't changed, so wonder why exactly it gets like this? Possibly a longer term cumulative glycogen depletion issue? Is there even such a thing?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Still getting the job done tho, 5x1.5hour weight sessions a week + 14x30min cardios and some posing......I really dont have time for a job! :pfft:

Counting down the weeks to butter chicken & naan bread! :grin:

Looks like everything coming along how it's supposed to big man.

100k? Don't stand on the scales that would ruin my brain.

Seems to be, all the same stuff I remember from 2000! :grin:

I'm over worrying about bodyweight, more curious than anything as I havent been on the scales for a few weeks.

Sounds like the shows going to be a blinder - some of the names I've heard dropped are making me think the line ups gonna be epic! :nod:

A photo with some of the young guys in the gym.

post-2696-14166823925006_thumb.jpg

Hamish, next to me, is 19 and has been training for just on a year. As a natty has some of the best quality muscle on a kid his age I've seen. Genetics to burn! He has been dieting for 2 weeks and will get on stage in Manawatu comp in mid May.

The other guy Ethan, is a big bastard at 6'5" (around the same age as Hamish). He pushes me strengthwise for chest/shoulder movements and will be competing at Hawkes Bay's Strongest Man next weekend.

cool pick on cow...

how much does that ethan guy lift?

LOL - the "cow" taught me that no matter how big / strong / tough you are there is always someone (or something!) better than you! :pfft: :grin:

He was doing the 50kg dumbells very easily for DB press & i think he did the 60's? He did some incline flyes at 35kg for a decent number of reps. Smashed me on the decline hammer press too.... :pfft:

Crazy high traps mate, looks like one of the aesthetic crew at this stage so there's classes for his physique now in NZIFBB that align with Pro status in the US.... Food for thought

Ticking along here....weight at just over 98kg yesterday. Still strong enough so not too concerned about losing too much muscle mass.

Had a good posing session with Supry yesterday at LM Extreme (btw - damn he's looking good!) and learnt a lot. Picked up a few of Harry's posing tips second hand from Supry too!

Trim milks out of the diet now, fuckitall! (I'm a dairy product fiend! :grin: ) but other than that no changes required.

Training - about to change that up this week to focus on other body parts. When I changed over from strongman I was concerned my delts, tri's, bi's & calves wouldn't be up to par and needed to be focussed on. I hit bi's hard for 3 months and realised they were fine, but have been hammering tri's & calves twice weekly since. I've also been smashing delts with strategies from Coach & HarryB. Supry told me yesterday my delts were starting to over power other body parts! Job done! :pfft: :grin: We also agreed my tri's were fine, but calves & upper chest need to be hit hard still.

Will post up the change in routine later today.

Caught up with Bigkiwi on my way through - still looking grainy and freakish as ever, but a lot healthier! Look forward to seeing him on stage again soon..... as an amatuer! :shock:

I've been hitting this routine for the last while:

Mon:-----AM Cardio--------------------PM Quads / Hams / Calves & Cardio

Tues:----AM Cardio--------------------PM Chest / Tris / Abs & Cardio

Weds:---AM Cardio--------------------PM Posing & Cardio

Thurs:---AM Cardio--------------------PM Back / Abs & Cardio

Fri:-------AM Cardio--------------------PM Delts / Tri & Cardio

Sat:------AM Cardio--------------------PM Bi’s / Calves / Abs & Cardio

Sun:------AM Posing & Cardio---------PM Cardio

After Soup's feedback I'm changing up to allow me to split quads/hams, so I can really focus on the medialis. Dropped one tri session so only one monster tri session a week after chest.

Added in an Upper Chest (mainly flyes / cables on incline stuff & machine/smith inclines rather than barbell/DB work) day to focus on this area as well.

Here's where I'll be at for the next while:

Mon:-----AM Cardio--------------------PM Quads / Calves / Abs & Cardio

Tues:----AM Cardio--------------------PM Chest / Tris & Cardio

Weds:----AM Cardio--------------------PM Posing & Cardio

Thurs:---AM Cardio--------------------PM Back / Hams & Cardio

Fri:------AM Cardio--------------------PM Delts / Calves / Abs & Cardio

Sat:-----AM Cardio--------------------PM Bi’s / Upper Chest & Cardio

Sun:-----AM Posing & Cardio--------PM Cardio

Should be a bunch of fun hitting legs a bit differently, and seeing what I can do with my upper chest.

Repped for journal title :lol:

Yeah, must admit I stole off someone on Facebook...appropriate tho!

How is my little bro Soups?

Things are looking like they are on track here Nate.

Laughed at the delts story, you definitely aren't lacking anything there.

It's getting closer I can sense the excitement..

Soup is good bro. Going to get down there again soon to practice what I've learnt - I've got a whole list of pointers to work on now!

I seriously thought they were shit when I was a fatty, even a few weeks back I wasn't sure. But they've come up a lot - thanks for your tips bro!

Put the assessment date back from 4 weeks out to 2 weeks out when I'm dryer & leaner - then decide if in the crowd or on stage. Either way I'll be on stage this year, but after 12 years it'll be on my terms and when I'm ready. the Coach agrees.

Thought by taking hammies out of the leg sessions it would be a bit easier....wrong!!

Samshed quads focusing on the medialis:

Leg extns - 10 working sets (pyramid up & down), 12 rep sets

Leg press - 5 working sets, 12 rep sets, between 320 & 400kg

Narrow squats - 3 sets of 8 @ 140kg

Calves/Abs/30 mins crosstrainer
