Pscarbs NABBA Assault 2007

Allo mate. Hope everything goes well - looks like you've put alot of work into it.

Couple of questions for ya...

1kg of carbs... Doesn't that give you major trotts??

Whats the huge amounts of Vit C for?

Cheers,
TH&S

the vitc helps pull water out your system mate... a high dose pulls water through and out of you.... then when you stop taking in water before the show.. it keeps on coming out of you and you get drier and drier!

Tall

aha! Cheers Lee

1000g of carbs would bloat me and have me on the toilet all day if it was all whole foods but half is Vitargo which is 70% faster in replenishing glycogen and does not bloat...

Tall

I'll look into that, trying to carb cycle at the moment to keep the BF down... Cheers

Tall

Whats your thoughts on hyponatraemia or hyperhydration when drinking that much water?

so yesterday was show day...

it was a great day i was very tired as like i mentioned earlier aiden was up through the night for the past 3 nights...

i got to the venue at around 12.30pm yesterday afternoon with my bag which contained everything from my PSP to my posing trunks....
After signing in i went a relaxed in the foyer and waited for Tom to arrive, i had already found out that i was the only one in my class which was not a surprise as this as been the same for the last 2 years...but i was looking for the overall title and the other classes although again small the standard was good so i knew i had a challenge on later in the night...

Tom arrived and we went backstage to prep i had tanned up using Jan Tana this year and it is by far the best stuff i have used, all you need to do on the day is apply a posing gel to bring out the shine which Tom did.
My spot at pre-judging was quick as i only had to do my routine then go i did the routine which was nothing like the one i practiced after getting changed and talking to a few people i know went off to my car to get some long awaited sleep and to eat a few more carbs as Tom had mentioned i could fill out a little more....at 6.00pm i went back to the venue to meet up with my wife and daughter and some of my mates who had come to support me....the place was packed which is a good sign for support from the crowd...

Tom prepped me backstage again and let me know i was even fuller than the day and looked very good he did take some pics and will no doubt post them up later.....i went onstage did my routine and excepted my trophy then went backstage to prep for the overall....

We all came out for the overall i saw my family and tom and his misses 2 rows from the front which gave me a huge lift especially my little girl shouting that's my daddy

We compared compulsory poses twice which was very tough but at the end of it all my name was mentioned as NABBA West Britain Overall Champion 2007 which believe me is really cool to hear.....

so today is a day off my diet and training before the 3 week prep to get 10% better for the finals i had nothing but good comments at the show yesterday both from the crowd and the judges which was good to hear as i stood onstage 14lbs heavier than in 2006......
so all steam ahead for the finals now where as long as i just tighten up another 10% i will do some damage in my class..

a huge thanks to Tom Blackman for being there for me all day without your help tom i would of been a mess so thanks mate....and a huge thanks to all you guys for your support over the last 14 weeks.....

ps...breakfast this morning was Oats and Whey now how weird is that
