Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
When is your competition, when does your prep start and how long do you have to get ready?
Good luck, looks like you'll be starting off from a pretty good base.

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
The dates are not published yet, but it'll be around april/may. Since i'm quite heavy at the moment and wanna take my time, i'll take about four month for my preparation. I wanna get up on stage in a real good shape, since i'm natural and don't have the mass of other competitors...
Thx!
i'll do my best!
Thx!

You should start up a journal, wouldn't mind following along. What's your bw now and what are you planning on being by the time you hit the stage?
Good that you get to enjoy the holiday season first!

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
Well, i'm always quite busy, but i'll try to start some kind of journal here...
At the moment my weight is about 93kg, don't know exactly how much it is pound, sorry
Actually i don't have a certain weight in my mind that i want to reach... i stick to the mirror to evaluate my shape and progress. By the time i'll know if i'm ready
i just check my weight to see if i'm losing fat. But a look into the mirror is more important for me, since it tells you a lot more than just your body weight...

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
Are there rules about covering tattoos when competing in bodybuilding? That's a really cool chest piece matey
I've got a full sleeve and some other bits and bobs!
Agree with mf on making a training log I would enjoy to follow it, take care man

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
I'm not sure if tattoos are explicitly forbidden, but i definitely know that the judges don't like tattoos! Well, bodybuilding is one passion of me, tattoos are the other... ;D have to live with it now. Gotta try to cover them up as good as possible for the competition... that's all i can do.
If enough people are interested, i'm gonna post my training and diet progress during the preparation...

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
Yeah that's what I thought, although as a type of beauty contest I thought tattoos would get you more marks as they're so cool ahha, I used to be a tattoo apprentice, best year of my life!
I'll definitely be interested in your training and diet bud

It's a really useful tool to have a log in here, both from a motivational view as well as having people chiming in with their ideas and constructive feedback.
Take a look through some of the logs on here that are regularly updated ~ generally the more active you are you'll probably find people will check in on what you're doing

Re: Preparation for the next competition 2013
Got my first tat in Wellington, New Zealand about 15yrs ago. Little did I know I'd end up marrying a kiwi girl and living there, was kind of like a little sign/omen haha.
