daz's offseason journal fresh from the brits and stars. stars pics pg 308!

Hell of a session mate, not suprised you couldn't move your arms!

My triceps would have fell off doing that workout!

I'll hopefully see you sunday then mate.

Good to meet you at last

you too :-)

have had a great weekend at the UKBFF finals.  Damm thats really where i want to be in a couple of years. i need to move into the U90kg class, as i had already said i intended to do.  I think i can be competitive in a regional next year, but to be competitive at the finals in that class i think is going to take me maybe 3 years minimum.  And thats 3 years of hard work, and strict diet wether cutting or bulking.  I want it soo badly though.

cant wait to hit the gym tomorrow.

Great to meet up with you yesterday mate.  I'm not round your way now on the 24th unfortunatly but next time I'm there or if you by accident land in Rotherham let me know and I'll get you a drink in.

Still looking in fantastic shape too!

Hi Daz good to talk with you yesterday, great day eh??

40 minutes cardio base conditioning

had the tape out tonight!  both arms and calfs are back to 17 inch, BUT in much much better condition than before i started cutting, yet at the same size!  both had little or no veins, and were smooth, certainly not the case at the moment!

legs are up nearly 2 inches, despite doing only hamstring and teardrop training, condition has dropped, but im sure there is some lean tissue there as well.

waist is about an inch and a half or just under, up from what it was on stage. 

weight is 14 stone now, have gained a little more fat than i originally planned, but not alot.  Id say my condition is equal to how i was at 7 weeks out, at which point my weight was about 13 stone.  so there must surely be a couple of pounds of extra muscle in there somewhere!

Was going to mention that to you on sunday mate, you had very prominant veins going down both bi's.

everything seems to be goin well fella..u gonna put any pics up anytime soon so we can see how the rebound has gone ??:-)
all this talk of people competing has had me lookin over the calendars for next yr..  do the UKBFF have a calendar out for next yr??
definately fancying one myself now...

have been stronger mate, have to hold back on the weights or i get injured, thats why the reps are high!  have done 160kg for a good amount of reps a few years ago!  :-(
 
food bill, including protein, food suppliments etc comes in about £20 a day  :-( 

Yeah, but what weight/condition were you back then?

That's a pretty hefty foodbill! This BB'ing malarky seems to be an expensive game!

i was hevier and quite a bit fatter, but i would say that im actually carrying more muscle now, so in theory should be at my strongest!
 
yeah it is kind of expensive, though i do eat more food than most people, so its very individual!
