From Strength to Strength... Chapter 1: New Beginnings

[Ryan.]

well back to 1 day out again !! weeks flying by, looking drier and tighter every day and best ive looked so far bar show day, hopefully dry right out into tomorrow and be bone dry in morning and then start shit loading with big breakfast as we are bringing me into this comp flat in order to shift that little extra fat before nabba

got some pics of the professional photographer at the shows website, here there here..

Awesome mate! Can't wait to see the next set of pics

Awesome mate! Can't wait to see the next set of pics

thanks mate ! me too tbh ! lol cant wait for tomorrow, shit loading pre stage ! first up is breakkie at 6am at home before heading to meet the team, 5 eggs scambled, 5-6 GWF toast and a good serving of lemon curd or jam on each ! then to take up 2 cinnamon and raisen bagels with bacon and cheese in them as not much places to get a meal in lochgellie like subway etc so having them then my usual carb up food

 

[RACK]

I found shit loading worked so much better. You'll feel like your muscles will be popping out of your skin!

 

[Ryan.]

i sort of shit loaded last week, but not as big as this, last week it started off half pack caramel rice cakes and fair bit of jam on each, then 1-1.5 hours pre stage started trickling in white choc spread/peanut butter/salty crisps/dolly mixture/flat lucozade/few drinks spirits, was full at pre judging and dry but then at show break got a kfc, had had a few bits of choc etc after pre judging and also big bit cake and krushem ice cream, came on stage at night a tiny bit smoother over the legs but with how full they were they looked so much better, upper looked a week extra dieted too!

we need to nail getting me bursting full early on as with ukbff show in may its a run through and i got a lad competing in my class whos a bit of a hater of mine, doesnt rate me thinks cause he is a few lbs more muscle than me he is the big all that but he is no where near conditioned, wont mention his name as he is being prepped by someone on here but with the condition im in if we can nail getting me full to bursting hes done for :-)

also lets us know what works better for nabba next week as first qualifier in scotland, so it'll be either softly softly trickle carbs in over week to keep full then pre stage carb up, or run in flat and shit load

need to bring my a-game for nabba next week !

 

[RACK]

Forget the hater mate, just get on there and do your job. Condition wise you and everyone else know @Rab and @Weeman are sticklers for it so you know they'll have you on point

 

[Ryan.]

yeah exactly mate :-) just doing as always rab sets the plan and i implement it, and reap the results

Show day number 2 :-)! Just woke up, was gona get up at 5to get things ready but went to bed earlier so slept enough, chill in bed then get things ready, shit loading today so eating constant from 6-7 with eggs /GWF toast and lemon curd/jam and rice cakes with spread/pb, just eat till full but not stuffed, bacon cheese bagel in car on way up then 2 more once at venue and checked in then will prob be time for carb up and stage time :-) will check weight once go downstairs and have a quick gander at myself via few pics but should be nice and dry but flat as a pancake, well hopefully lol

[Ryan.]

Thanks for the kind words guys mean alot :-)

. . . . . . . . . .

Came 2nd today, 4 juniors in class and the lad who won was just phenomenal! Ben Warner, nabba Scotland junior class winner and 3rd at the Brits, very happy to take second to a competitor like that! His aim is to take the Brits this year and tbh he may well do so with the package he brought today then 5 weeks to reign it in further he will be skinless, lucky fucker got sponsored also by muscle xcess! As well also as team tsc member Michelle which was great to see :-)

Good work my man! Sounds like you did well shin in a tough class. IMO that 2nd place would have felt better than the 1st place right? Having to fight harder for it Looking forward to the pics again.
