Thanks guys

I do have to make sure I dont get complacent though, its easy when you are ahead to think 'oh it doesnt matter cos I'm ahead' and the next minute you're behind.

Truth be told I normally hold the majority of my weight on my back so thats the real test of my condition, I will post up some back pics on Friday, just need to buy a decent camera now as my phone is quite poo.

I'll get some full body shots done over the next few days, that will be the real indicator of my condition.

Just a quick question, when you step on stage, is it advisable to use no2 (PUMP SUPPS)?

Paul - I was dead on my feet last night, every set I fired through and then just rested with my head in my hands lol. No one talks to me in the gym at the moment so I must be a grumpy sod.

Luke - This is something I've pondered cos when I last competed NOXplode and the like weren't around. I will see about t his when I'm down cos I'll be able to assess the impatc on my physique. Thats why its important to get ready 2-3 weeks out so that you can see how small things affect you.

Carbs before bed work great (at your level of conditioning). Carbs have the effect of filling you out (glycogen) and drying you out (taking water from body into gut) plus all those little endorphins get released to help you sleep better.All in all a win win situation and 40-50g of porridge does the trick!

I must say Tom you are looking very, very good and if I were competing this year I would be ****ting it!!
To me your physique has matured SO much in the last year and that time off, although hard, has stood you in great stead and got that burning desire and hunger inside you.
I know everyone has given Flex the British title already but dont for one minute lose faith in your ability. If I were Flex I'd be very, very worried and that's taking nothing away from him cos he is a legend. Yes the guy has wheels of steel but in the upper body (back width, chest size and thickness, delts and arms) you have him and that is no disrespect to Flex.

However, its all about how that package is put together and as you know how the physique flows.
You are in a very strong position and I am not just saying that to bolster your self esteem. You are a good free poser (me being at the other end of the scale) and a little work on how you carry yourself whilst relaxed and in the compulsories, and it will be a very interesting contest.

I am excited by what I am seeing with you Tom (not in that way...The Mrs cant even do that at the mo!!) and think that come April you will be the talk of the Spring shows.
As you say dont leave anything to chance and there is NO place for complacency in this game. I know how much it means to you to win the British and this year that dream has a distict possibility of becoming a reality.

Well done mate and without wanting to sound condescending...I'm well proud of your whole approach from 14 months ago to where you are today.

regards

J

You are looking awesome mate, and it is hard to think you are still 8 weeks out!

Once the tren kicks in it should give you a nice strength boost.

hackskii

Damn, you got 8 weeks to go and you are that lean?
I bet you will walk on stage totally shreaded.
Hell, you are already leaner than I have ever been in my whole life.

James that means a lot to me, being beaten by you and Nathan really did light a fire under me lol.

I have been working on the weaknesses all year mate, wont make the same mistakes again.

I am looking forward to the British this year, I'm not bothered about what other people look like, I'm only focussed on myself and achieving the best condition I can. If other people turn up massive and ripped then great cos it'll be a hard battle and thats so much more fulfilling than a walkover.

However first I've got to get past the portsmouth show lol.

Today was a higher carb day for me, although I only really increased the carbs by 100g the result was a more full physique which was visibly improved the next day upon waking.

I have missed out the HCG doses that I have been taking in my previous posts, these have been going on for about 2 weeks at low doses.

I have run out of Udos Oil so did not use that for the past 2 days but now my order of 9 bottles has arrived from Savant I'll be a happy chap for ages. I also ordered a bottle of Beyond Greens to boost my fibre and digestive enzyme intake as I am finding that I am getting quite bloated during the day from all the plain food.

MIGEL

Nice posts again Tom, I do enjoy reading these journals find them very inspirational and sooo informative.

You are looking v good indeed! But looking at you recent pics and how lean and vascular you look I really struggle to see how or where you are gonna lose any more body fat!!!

Obviously you are going for that paper thin skin look for the day of the competition but in my eyes ( and I really am no expert ) you look almost ready now!! lol

What is it that you are trying to achieve in the next 8 weeks over and above the package you are diplaying at the moment, just be interesting to get an insight into this!!

Please forgive me if this seems a stupid post :crazy:

Tinytom

Thanks for those positive comments Migel

Basically I hold the majority of my fat on my back and so this is where the hard work comes in. I will post up some back pics this weekend along with my leg shots and you will be able to see where the work is needed.

Yes I am going for a very ripped physique this year but I also want to get the fullness as well so its a delicate balance, thats th eidea of keeping lean in the off season so that its not much of an effort (relatively speaking) to drop off the weight.

Thursday 1 feb

6.15 - 4iu Hyegetropin, 5g BCAA, 5g Glutamine, 60mcg Sci Tech Liquid Clen

6.30 - Cardio

7.30 - CEE

8.30 - 100g Oats, Lecithin, sultanas, cranberries, almonds

8.45 - 50g IA whey

11.00 - Chicken and Green beans, Udos, multivits

1.00 - 45g Whey and Casein

3.00 - Same as 11am

4.00 - same as 1pm

4.30 - 60mcg Sci Tech Liquid Clen, 5g BCAAs, 100mcg Omega IGF

5.00 - Nitroblast

5.30 - Train Quads

6.30 - CEE

6.40 - Cardio 30 minutes stepper

7.20 - PWO shake (75g Whey Isolate/concentrate blend, 50g Sugars, BCAA)

9.30 - Trioplex bar (I know I know )

11.00 - 50g Oats, 4iu Hygetropin


Training

Rear Squats - 5 sets ultra deep
DB Walking Lunges - 3 sets
Leg Press - 4 sets
Leg extension - 3 sets
Front squat - 2 sets


I was very happy that after 2 years I am now able to do rear squats again. I have been heving trigger pointing and sports massage therapy on my shoulders and this has allowed me to return to this favourite exercise again.

The workout was very intense as I trained alone so very little rest in between sets. By the time I got on the stepper I could hardly walk and only managed 30 minutes.

I low carbed it today during the day as I wanted to concentrate most of my carbs in the PWO phase so that means evening and morning carb meals only, my thinking on this is that the carbs will be useed for glycogen replenishment which will keep my full but also allow a form of Ketosis to happen in the day when I am devoid of carb meals.
