I qualified for the British finals last Sunday (5th October) by placing second. I'm over the moon with my result. My aim was just to see how I fair against top quality competitors and then let the judges decide where they want to place me.
The guy who beat me was the fantastic Darren Nicholhurst. He was very full with great shape but was clearly 'OFF' as you can see from the photo's but I'm not complaining. Darren seems like a nice bloke and I congratulate him on his win but the outcome will hopefully be different at the finals as I will be even tighter... and fuller! I know exactly how to manipulate my nutrients, sodium and water intake to make the necessary improvements.
Right now I have no stress at all, it seems like plain sailing now that I know what to manipulate. My base weight right now is where I was before I carb depleted, this puts me In the most perfect position to burn any excess fat off. My condition from the front has no issues as far as I'm concerned but the from back I still have fat to come off my glutes and lower back, the most problematic area for most people as this is where fat stores tend to hang to the most. From my current condition I have 8 fat burning days before I carb load. I know what the outcome of my condition will be now and I cant wait to see the finished look.
It has been my ultimate dream to compete in the UKBFF British Championships as a light heavy weight... And now I'm finally going.
Last year I was 3rd at Warrington in the middleweight division with NO invite to the final's...This time around my muscle mass is up 6kg with much improved overall conditioning and as Light heavy weight. I really couldn't ask for more so I know my homework has paid off!!!
My diet and cardio program at the moment before I make changes Is like this;
4 NAR REDHEAT CAPSULES,10g NAR L-GLUTAMINE, 1HR ON THE TREADMILL WITH 2% INCLINE
Meal 1) 4 SCOOPS NAR ULTIMATE, 1/2 CUP OATS, 1/4 CUP ALMONDS, 4 NAR CLA SOFGELS
Meal 2) 300g FISH, 1/2 BAG UNCLE BENS WHOLEMEAL RICE, NATTY PEANUT BUTTER, 4 NAR CLA CAPSULES
Meal 3) AS ABOVE
Meal 4) AS ABOVE
10g NAR L-GLUTAMINE BEFORE TRAINING, ALONG WITH 1 SERVING OF NOX SHOCK (NOX SHOCK WILL BE AVAILABLE EARLY NOVEMBER)
TRAIN 90mins AFTER FOOD THEN 30mins ON THE STAIR MASTER IMMEDIATLY AFTER WORKOUT
Meal 5) AS ABOVE
Meal 6) 4 SCOOPS NAR ULTIMATE, 4 CLA
10g NAR L-GLUTAMINE BETWEEN 3-6 a.m TAKEN WHEN I WAKE UP NATURALLY TO GO TO THE BATHROOM
As you can see it can get very tedious but EVERY day 'HAS' to be the same in order for me to attain this level of conditioning.
I NEVER MISS A MEAL
NEVER MISS A WORKOUT
NEVER MISS A TABLET OR CAPSULE
EVERY SINGLE GRAM OF FOOD AND WATER IS TAKEN IN ACCORDINGLY!!!
My next blog post will be after the finals now. My mind is starting to wonder now because of extreme low bodyfat and lack of carbs and I find it VERY hard to cope trying live a normal life whilst putting my body through the mill so to speak.
This sport isn't for everyone, its the hardest thing you could ever do to your body both physically and mentally. So If I come across a little tetchy (because I am) then Its because of my current condition in the final stages, it does this to you but when the tough gets going... I get tougher because I love it and I want it badly!!! Right now I'm just cracking on with the task at hand.
I wish to thank my friends for supporting me. My lil' sis Sarah and especially my girlfriend Natalie who is with me all the way and puts up with my way of living so a BIG BIG Thank you x x x
