Hardcore Gyms......A Thing Of The Past!

Hi all.

Talk to my training partner earlier in the month. It came up, the a friend from Orange had just been kicked out of him gym for being to hardcore. He is an ernest and to the point kinda guy. A real font of information as long as you don't get between him and his workout.

Found a related thread on the MD forum site too.

Back from Melbourne

Well, I got back from Melbourne yesterday (5th Nov).

Had a great 10 days away.

After the comp, Jamie, Carmen and myself had a great two days kicking around Melbourne. They flew back to Canberra Monday arvo.

I spend Tuesday to midday Friday doing job searching kinda stuff. Wednesday, Thursday & Friday morning I got to train with Warren Clampet. It's always great training with a partner who is bigger/stronger and/or more experienced. Thanks Warren.

Got on the scales on Thursday, up to 95kgs. Up about 6 kgs from the comp. Back on the scales on Friday, was back down to 94.25kgs. The body is such a sensitive and responsive thing!

Did family things for the last two days before I flew back to Canberra. Gee kids grow fast!

INBA Australian Titles 2006

Well the big day has come and been.

The Aystralian Title where at the Camberwell Centre, in Melbourne yesterday (Sat. 28-Oct-2006).

I think I was in the best overall condition I've ever been in. Reasonable lean and the heavist I've competed at. Been a little leaner in the past, but at 8 to 10 kgs lighter.

My training partner finshed 3rd in the Open Tall class. Congrats Jamie!


bye for now

A Grand Day Out

INBA ACT Natural Physique Titles - 15th October 2006

Got to rego at 11:30 to find that the 'running sheet' had been changed considerable, and that both Jamie (training partner) and my estimated time on stage had been moved back almost an hour and a half (80 minutes). This could have been an issue, time delays at comps is not unknown. So I always take a meal or two more than your eating plan says you'll need, so it wasn't an issue.

Got on stage pretty well on time. I had one issue, the stage has a new covering, a very short pill carpet. So it was too slippery to set my feet properly for a number of poses. That distracted my from getting a couple of other thing spot on during the mandatory round. Always get up on stage before the comp starts and check the surface for friction etc.

I was very pleased with the result, I got second on a field of five. The first & third place getter, Wes and John respectively, I competed against before. It was good to see them both again, good work boys! So this time we got to 'mix it up', had a great time boys ;)

There are some pics of the net from the comp

here
in the above thread I'm in 16.jpg on right and 20.jpg second from right
and here

Thanks again to 'Big G' and to my training partner Jamie.

Thank to everyone for all their support.

All together a Grand Day Out.

Second time round!

INBA ACT Natural Physique Titles - 15th October 2006

I'm on the second day of carbing up today. The big day is tomorrow. Rego is at 11 (to 12:15), but I'm not on stage until 4.40. And we all know BB comps always run on time!

I heard today that there will be five in my division. So this time, I at least get a chance to 'mix it up' and have some fun on stage. ;)

Thanks for the diet and posing help to 'Big G' (at Elite in Woden).

Special thanks to my training partner Jamie.

Thank to everyone else for all their support too.

The King is Dead: Jay Culter wins Olympia

I got 2 SMSs yesterday, from friends, with the placing of the 2006 Mr Olympia titles.

1st - Jay CUTLER
2nd - Ronnie COLEMAN
3rd - Victor MARTINEZ
4th - Dexter JACKSON
5th - Melvin ANTHONY
6th - Gustavo BADELL

What a suprise! For years Ronnie Coleman has won this event. Most people I know, expected him to win it, until he retired. Just like Dorian Yates and Lee Haney before him.

2006 INBA NSW Titles (24 Sept)

Well, had a good prep for the NSW titles last Sunday (24 Sept. 06).

My best condition so far. I've been as lean before, but was 8 to 10kgs lighter.

Unfortunately I was the only competitor in my Masters (Over 40) Division. So no change to 'mix-it'.

Two week to the ACT titles now.

One week out!

Well, the first comp is in one week.

I'm sitting at 87kgs, last time on the scales.

A part from a mix-up about travelling times to & from Sydney, everything is fine on
the prep front!

Doing the diet for the final week tonight. Then we'll write up a tick-the-boxes no-brainer list of things-to-do for the next 7 days (day-a-page style).

Keep training right, everyone.

bodybuilding competition preparation

5 weeks out

Well, down to 90kgs last weekend. G was away this weekend, so no new figures.

The hill walk seem to be doing the trick!

Did posing pratice with Jamie, yesterday morning, start to show now detail in the quads, cool.

Not training today, so it's an Extra low carb day today, oh such fun! ;)

Back into the gym tomorrow.

First hill climb!

During the weekend, I got advice that I should be doing hill climbs etc to improve the hardness in my lower body.

This morning I did my first hill climb. Started at 5:30am. It's surprising how much light the near by suburbs give off. Even on top of the hill, it was light, like a full moon! The weather was partly overcast, and the near full moon had set hours before.

Getting there!

Well, got on the scales yesterday, I'm down to 91kgs. Not too far to go.

The signs are there. I have a pair of vains on my abdominal wall, about 40mm (1.5 inchs) on either side of centre line on symmetry. They made their appearance over the last few week! A GOOD sign.

18/05/06 to 02/07/06. The countdown continues.

Lee Priest in Canberra

Lee Priest was in Canberra for a seminar. I went.

For those who didn't know who he is, he is currently Australia best bodybuilder. One of the best 4 Australia has every produced.

Lee passed one comment that may interest some here.

He was out in a supermarket doing some shopping. This kid was there with his father shopping.
We all know how built super heroes and alike are these days.
The kid sees Lee and points. The kid turns to his father and asks, 'How do you get like that?'.
The father answers 'Steroids, Drugs'.

Lee thought this was a strange answer to give a young child.
What does it show about the father. Envy? Insecurity?

Weather Lee has every used or not, is beside the point.

For me there are two issues.
Firstly, the negative stereotype/image associated with bodybuilding as a sport.
Secondly, the lose of innocence/childhood this child may suffered.

Is this answer going to encourage the kid to use drugs later on?
What would be the best answer, the one that encourages the best habits in the kid?

Something like, 'You got to eat all your meat & veggies and fruit.' maybe?

Something to think about.

After the seminar, I was talking to Jamie M, he is looking to a training partner too. Will start training with him tomorrow morning at 5:30 ouch!

The Luke Wood Seminar, Saturday, 04/02/06

The seminar began at 3:00.

Luke talked about what he has been upto. His trips to the US and his placings there. Also talked about getting photo shoots done for the big US muscle rags. He talked about what is involved in getting to and being a professional grade Bodybuilder.

Lots of questions from the audeance (2 people did manopalise things a bit). Lots of bits & peices about diet and training too.

At the end he posed for us and we got a chance to get photos taken with him. I also brought 2 autographed pics. Finish up at about 4:30ish.

After Luke left, I got Gav, one of the orgainisers to take some progress pics of me, finally!

Met up with Luke, Gav, the PM guys and a few others for a meal (steak) at 7:30. Had a great time gossiping with everyone.

Hi Molly, Beti, Cam & All

Molly has asked about what progress pics to take (over on my main blog).

I'll cross post my reply.

I think we should let beti decide.

Maybe the pics should be goal dependant.

Maybe the pics should be Cam dependent. What ever pics beti can get out of Cam? ;)

Beti, What are your ideas on this one?

Why This Blog Exists

In response to Cameron Reilly's personal fitness blog and as part of my training program for this year, I'm going to start a journal blog too.

The things we do in the name of sports, fitness and motivation!

Take one flag, one mast, one hammer and several nails, start hammering...

By the way, the name of this blog is a salute to The Dog's Tail Tale movie.
