Kate's 2011 UKBFF BF Bash

I currently run a journal on another forum, but this forum is a wealth of information, so seemed like a good idea to keep a journal here as well :)
 
I am Kate, 34 yrs old, competed for the first time last yr in Nabba Toned and came 5th out 7.  I was going to compete in toned again this yr, but couldn't due to work commitments i could make the qualifier, so decided to try compete with UKBFF in the BF category.
 
I have used the last year to gain some lean tissue and am currently sitting at 11 weeks out.  Not sure how I will fair as the BF girls tend to be harder than the toned girls, but time will tell :)
 
As long as i am better than i was in 2010 I will be a happy bunny.  Anyways look forward to chatting to some peeps on here and rambling away.    Will be at the MT show on Sunday to cheer people on.....
 
 

Welcome to MT kate and good luck with your prep

Best of luck in the BF class this year.
Do you think that with the lean mass you have added this off season that your physique is now more suited to BF?
You seem to know what is required in this category - what modifications have u made to past prep to get the harder conditioning?
will be lovely to see you at the MT show. i take it you will be the one watching the BF class and taking notes. xxxxx

Welcome!! I think BF is a lot different to Toned, but then Toned is far away from bikini so you've probably made the right choice :-) Besides you never know, the UK judges may go for the slightly softer look as has been coming out of the US recently... ;-)
 
Bet you must be pleased there's no one-piece round - it's a darn sight cheaper now to compete!
 
Will look forward to reading your journal so good luck :-)

hey kate,
 
great to see you have decided to keep a journal here!  Comp section just gets better and better on MT!
 
 

I cannot blummin work out how to multi quote on here yet, so will try this way instead :)
 
@jnr2006 - many thanks for the welcome....its appreciated :)
 
@lisa  - thanks for the best wishes.  I have managed to build me some delts this year and added size to my back, so I hope I will be competitive.  If not, I will use this yr as a building block for 2012 :)
 
I'm prepping with Skip Hill, so am hoping that his tried and tested methods, along with the added gain will give me the harder look that I need ......heres hoping anyways!   I meet you at the GP back in March and you mentioned that I had 'a good frame'....god I was chuffed lol
 
@ flick161 - cheers for the welcome :)  Did think about bikini, but I am 5ft 9" with wide shoulders, so erred on the side of caution and went for BF instead lol!  I did hear rumours that the judges were/are after a softer look this yr, so fingers crossed :)    Am soooo happy about the removal of the one piece round, plus the fact that there is no routine.....that's the part I hate the most!
 
Just gotta practive t-walking in this damn heels now :)
 
   
 
 
 

Hey darren - cheers for the message!  Looking forward to seeing you on stage on Sunday :)

Welcome aboard!

How freaking chuffed am I you are on here.....yay
 
Get your comparison piccies up missy from last year to now as I think you need to hear from others how you can clearly see a difference in lean mass gain!!
 
Ps. I am actually quite gutted you're not doing a routine this year as I miss the TK spin & think the inclusion of the running man would have got you far 

Great to see you running a journal, will be reading with interest

Do you have to do poses in the UKBFF t walk or is it just walking with stances ? .. Don't know how much it differs from the BNBF T walk .. I quite like the T Walk once I got over the fear of falling flat on my arse

Good luck with your journal, training, evereeeeeeeeetheeeeeeng.....
