James


Keep going Gordon - and speak Wednesday!

Al hang on in there.  Starting to get the usual pre-flight mind games but just pushing through to bring the best package to stage I can.

Speak to you on wednesday.

You're bound to be knackered. Train hard, rest well and practice posing as much as you can.

Yea things really have started to kick in.  Cardio this morning was expecially difficult.  Thanks for the support.

Quick update for you.  Things have been going grand. Morning cardio has been super tuff, no where near as good as I usually do.  Trying to light jog as much as possible but having to resort to uphill walking because I am feeling very 'woozy'. 

Stopped the sodium load today and switched to low sodium water.  Something I picked up in asda called harrogate which is 6.15mg/l which was the lowest I could find. 

At the gym started to notice my skin feeling drier and the striations in my quads coming through very well.  Abs still alittle flat, mainly a the lower but still in good shape.

Had a phone review with James which was great.  Again changing up the diet. Think I'm going to have to become a chicken farmer for the next few days lol.  Starting to carb up tomorrow and lower water so really looking forward to that!! Carbs oh I cant wait!!!

Is that water lower in sodium than Evian?

Yea the Harrogate spa water its called is lower but only but a little. Harrogate is 6.15 and evain is 6.25 not much difference but the lower the better I guess.

Just had another posing practice session with a few local bodybuilders.  One of them being Graham Park who won Masters Mr Universe in 2007 so picked up some great advice. 

Went through my routine and just dialed in a few things.  Apart from that he said I'm looking in great condition and very ready for the show.

Really cant wait now!!!

Haha.  Yea hes great helped me with a few posing touches and sent me on my way. 

Always good to take something like that into a contest. Gave me confidence with all the mind games that go on.  But on Sunday we shall see.

Well I have to say I LOVE CARBS!!!  James changed the diet quite a bit with me having 100g chicken 50g Brown Basmatic rice and broccolli every 2hrs or so.  Some things a little different but basically that.

Feel abit strange today cant really put my finger on it.  I feel drained and tired, might be the lack of water but I'm really not sure.

Water has been limited to again the low sodium and only 4ltrs.  Still taking Vitamin C, Potassium, Magnissium and Dandelion Extract and still pissing like a race horse.

Just practing posing today and had a couple of naps.  Start the BIG SHAVE tomorrow, woopee.  This is the bit the girlfriend loves lol.

You sound like you have it in the bag mate, keep to the plan , i know in the past i have said to myself why am i doing this and done two whole big bags of peanut MMs.
Carb loading ,i love it filling out day by day,also stopping traning feels odd aswell.

Hi daz

Lol yea I would love some of those peanut MMs there the best mmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Yea slowly filling out is a bit of a strange feeling. My arms are already looking alittle bigger.  What do you mean by Imac?

Thanks for the support again Daz always helps!!

Immac is a hair removal cream

Immac ah right.  Yea definately, last year I waxed which quite frankly was the sorest thing I have ever down.  Infact I was bleeding not good.

The girlfriends sorting me out with the bits and bobs for that and al start tanning tomorrow because I'm quite pale.

Thats right as kitty says, its a hair removal cream for women.

Also you can do you whole body
You can get it in a tube at about 200ml per tube mainly, i would go for the sensitive one.
Just put it on you like a thick cream with your hands and leave to work .
(but don't over do  it as it will start to burn you)
And go over your self with a razor to get the lttle bits you have missed.
 
And one more tip ,get some

Sorry for the long link ,get some cream to go with the gloves aslo any exfoliating cream should do.
just put cream on glove and rub lightly.

Forddee thanks very much for the advice.  I have purchased myself some gloves and the girlfriend is out purchasing the cream and exfoliator as we speak. Again thanks and wish me luck!!

Here comes the babys bum feel ,rember if you exfo after doing the Veet don't be to hard on the skin with the glove as your skin will feel sencitive after that veet has taken all the hair off.
Good luck Daz
