UKBFF BRITISH FINALS HERE I COME!!!

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

Thursday 2nd October, 1st day loading phase.

Today is my first day of loading my body with complex carbohydrates. My carb intake 2 weeks ago was around 250g divided into my first 6 meals and the last meal has been protein and essential fats only.

2 weeks ago I halved my carbs (nearly) and had 30g of carbs for my first 4 meals and the remaining 3 had none. All the time my carbs was low protein increased from 40g to 50g per meal. Breakfast is always 60g.

For my depleting phase I halved carbs again (This really did kill me), and my carb intake was 35g 1hr before I trained and another 35g post workout. That was my carbs for the entire day and I thought I was going insane but every time I woke up and checked myself out in the mirror first thing I was seeing was my condition getting better and better and the whole of my body (Muscles) getting flatter and flatter. This was perfect for me as I can now see what is to come.

Once I drop subcutaneous water and fill the muscle out with carbs of which could increase by up to 600-1000g of complex carbs at the most, it will work like magic and I'm really looking forward to it now .

Today is a tester to see how my body responds to the amount's of food I'm putting in and I will decide what to do when I check myself out in the morning. I wont be following any particular plan that is written down as I just take each day as it comes. I'm just doing as I see fit and also the input of my girlfriend Natalie means a great deal as she now knows what to look for.

Natalie took this photo today, this will be my worst, depleted flat look and I should gain a few lbs each day up until Sunday. As this process kicks in the skin will get thinner and thinner and vascularity will be greatly enhanced.

Most people tend to hold more body fat in the glutes and back, I fit into this category well and its a bitch to get off, especially when If you're ready from the front weeks ago but that means nothing.... If you aint ready from the back then YOURE not ready. A guy asked me in the gym (He competes) can you see your abs yet??? WTF! Their is a difference bewteen being In shape and THINKING you're in shape. If I was totally honest about my condition, I would say its 90% there from the rear, the front isnt a problem so I thought I would share with you my worst condition which is to the rear, but it will get better. Hopefully my condition will be enough to get me through to finals (If I qualify) and then the final bits of fat will be off 2 weeks later.

So far so so good, time to eat now... again! :  )
