1st place!

I am the under 80kg first timers winner (The lightest on stage ;0)) and received a trophy for the best posing routine! It was an amazing day that I'll never forget. All those hours spent training paid off and even though I've always thrown the phrase around "Hard work pays off", I now have personal experience to back it up! I'd like to thank everyone who supported me and came to support me on the day. Bodybuilding is a very selfish sport which is a 24-7 all year round commitment. All my moaning to friends and family, especially my girlfriend who had to put up with my foul moods all the time. Somehow she found it in her to support me all the way and stick with me until I won! I hope she's ready to do it all again! No carbs is a dangerous path to take! I don't ever wish to return but once I began re-feeding correctly, it worked.

1st place!!

Me and old gym partner Anna!
Well done to her coming 1st in the Ladies class!

My on stage weight was 73.8kg which was a shock to me because 1 week out I was 76kg stressing that I still wasn't as hard/dry looking as I was at the BodyPower Expo. However, everything seems to have happened in the final week of my prep! This was when I increased my water to 9 litres per day, began taking dandelion root extract and started doing A.m HIIT Cardio & Abs then P.m Weight training & 2nd HIIT Cardio. I've now found what works for me and shall be following this for my next competition! The main judge Lee Kemp ("Pocket Rocket" He tagged me) gave me many compliments when I saw him at the end of the show. He told me I have the whole package, great symmetry, and that I had world champ potential! I was speechless when he said that to me!! My girl just so happened to walk over right at that moment too so in my head I was like "Sweet" **One eye brow raised**. He's invited me to compete in the UKDFBA novice class September 29th. The United Kingdom Drug Free Bodybuilding Association is right up my street!

If I begin dieting again July 14th until the show on September 29th, that gives me 11 weeks to get myself in better condition than I was when on Sunday. I know It's possible because if you remember I had that week off after the BodyPower Expo leaving me with only 6 weeks to pull it back and get in on stage condition. I managed to do it but I know my physique was nowhere near as tight/dry as I would have preferred. Anyway, I won and I'm happy about that! This time I'm taking that much needed week off again eating whatever and whenever I like! So yeah, dieting begins again on July 14th with a whole 11 weeks to get the most shredded I've ever been, and knowing what I know now, how my body reacts to what cardio/intensity and diet regime I reckon I can get down to 70kg on stage weight. Also it's best I start dieting soon because I might be working with my gym at the BodyPower Beach Party on August 3rd. I've been told by my gym owner there's no chance of that happening if I carry on eating rubbish! Suppose I better stop having chocolate cheesecake for breakfast.


Pictures from the competition of me on stage and hopefully footage of my posing routine coming soon!
