I'll post some more up after I upload them from my camera.
I was pretty happy with how it all turned out and I think I'm on progress for the show in a couple of weeks which I'm aiming for.

Got back to training yesterday, trained legs and back. I plan to stop training legs later this week to give myself more than a weeks rest.

Squats - Bar x 15
60kg x 8
100kg x 3
140kg x 3
160kg x 1
Seated goodmornings - 60kg x 5 x 3 sets
Pullups - 6 x 4 sets
Front squats - 100kg x 5 x 3 sets
Trunk twists - 10 x 3 sets

After eating pizza, bread and dark chocolate on Sunday after the comp I have got back into dieting again, I still need to lose about 3kg to make the 78kg I need to be for my weight class.

Meal 1 - Sunwarrior shake with 1tsp raw cocoa powder and 20g crushed flax seeds. I'm glad I got some more Sunwarrior because the Nitrofusion has too much sodium for this close to the show.
Meal 2 - 150g tofu, broccoli and celery, olive oil
Meal 3 - Same as meal 2
Meal 4 - Protein shake (1 scoop Sunwarrior, 1 scoop Vega), espresso
Meal 5 - Aminos, spirulina, creatine
Meal 6 - Sunwarrior and almond spread
Meal 7 - Tofu, broccoli, hummus

You look great!! Congrats again!

I may not say it often Joel, but you are a HUGE role model for me! Just like Jimi Sitko is, Ed Bauer and many others, but you're right up there near the top as a fellow competitive bodybuilder who I have so much respect for!

Awesome man! Not only a great physique but such an amazing attitude about everything and I really appreciate that about you!

Thank you so much for all the kind words!!

Robert, I don't think I'm up at Jimi's level yet but I take that as a massive compliment and appreciate that greatly.



Haha... I was hoping you wouldn't notice... or mind!


Here are a few more, thanks to Noah from Uproar (and MVS) for taking the time to come and watch and take these photos. I'll have quite a few more over the next couple of weeks as I do the other shows.

Wow!

These are OUTSTANDING photos! So awesome man! That side chest pic is sick! You look massive out there! And of course your arms are just ridiculous.

Well done man....I am seriously impressed Big Time!

Keep the pics coming!
