Cheers Iain, sorry I didnt have more time to chat but you know how these things are.

Yeah I'm in for the caledonia............................

Just applied my first coat of Jan Tana. I thought it was sh1t at first but it is actually quite good.

Thanks for your kind compliments. Are you going to be there?

If so make sure to tie in with me and I promise to have a better chat. LOL

Del called me today and said he again placed 3rd in his class, there was 3 in the class but to me this does not matter as long as he presented the best physique he could.
we tried a few diffrent things this week as last week he seemed to be flatter than i would of liked him to be....

no matter the result Del has done me proud to place 3rd and get a trophy in his first two shows is awesome definatly better than the start i made all those years ago

Well done Del now go and eat...

coco · 12-05-2007, 09:24 PM

yeah well done to del, it was great to actually see you on stage mate you looked good i thought, now go and enjoy some real food, ya lucky ba****d, lol........

Delhi · 12-05-2007, 09:29 PM

Cheers Paul,

I am DELIGHTED to have two big trophies on my mantlepiece.

I have not one ounce of regret about my approach to both shows, if you had said to me that I would be third plaaced in the Scottish (The important one) and again third in Caledonia I would have snapped your hand off.

Besides I am gracefull in victory and defeat. Whomever wins, wins.
All that I can control is how I look, and improve each year. And I assure you I intend on being 50% better next year than this.

I spoke to a couple of judges who told me that I won the symetry round and that genetically I have great balance / symetry and that i have good size and thickness. They were very complimentary about my future in the sport and suggested that if I improve my condition I will be hard to mark down (Again due to proportion etc). One of them even said: Hands down the best body, but your unfortunatley your condition was off"

This is all useful info and I cant wait till next year, cause I know I can make the grade with condition (I started out too fat this year).

So thats it for this year then, time to get big and prepare for next year.

Overall, one very happy chappie.

Paul you are a star, and words do not and cannot convey my gratitude for you.
Take this to your heart from my heart:
You are my inspiration............my hero.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...................................

Congratulations Del, a magnificent start to your competitive career. How did your carb-up etc differ this time round and did you feel you looked better because of it?

There was a different approach to carb up this week, this time round I did a bit of a junk load, this was intentional and we knew it carried a risk, details of both carb ups are well documented in previous posts.

Condition wise I felt fuller, bigger but also smoother tonight than last week. But the down side is that I was not as sharp and in condition as last week. As I said in previous posts this carb up was no accident, it is part of the bigger "Master plan", and the information obtained will again be used to improve for next year. When you consider it in that perspective you will start to get an idea of the sort of person I am........I scrutinise EVERY detail, constantly searching for a better way..........one of the reasons I have found Paul to be PURE GOLD. Dont get me wrong it is not easy doing this and I know for a fact MOST could not handle Pauls style, but for me....................................perfect.

Paul is the sort of guy who not only measures with a ruler the portion size of a protien bar he is about to eat, but he will weigh it, analyise it, check the nutritional content of it, read reviews on it and observe the results of it.

And if you think thats too much, or taking it too far then he is not suitable for you.............

Like I have said though, sitting here tonight I could not be happier.

Here is a quik pic of my "Collection"

Delhi · 12-05-2007, 10:09 PM

Oh And I'd just like to say thanks to all you guys too, like Paul and Tom has said doing a journal is a fantastic thing and gives you a real boost when you are down.

Now who is next in line?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????

clarkey · 12-05-2007, 10:18 PM

Fantastic Delhi!!! your an inspiration mate well done and go enjoy some real food!!!! you deserve it

**Pscarb** · 12-05-2007, 11:05 PM

Just so their is no misunderstanding about the approach i took this week for Del here is the reasons why....

The week before the last show we did a standard carb deplete/Load from what i learnt from Del's showing at the NABBA Scotland it was evident that he was flat and holding a little water...

so this week we curtailed his water a little more and carbed him up more aggressively on the first day then eased off a little so we could use a system called Sh1t loading the morning of the show the way this works is that you stop all fluids the night before the show in Dels case this was 7.00pm then the morning of the show you have a meal that contains junk food in Dels case this was some pizza/Chocolate and danish buns because you are not drinking any fluids the sodium/carbs and fat in these foods drag the water from beneath the skin to help digest the foods.....the trick is timing.
it is clear to me that this was not the correct approach for Del because of condition and i except full responsibility but we needed to use this show as a practice for what we intend to do next year when he wins the Novice class at the NABBA Scotland....

Del has done an amazing thing these last few months he has transformed an average physique into a Bodybuilders physique and proved himself on stage something not many can do.....
Del is correct that i except no prisoners when i coach guys and gals for shows but that is what is needed to stand a chance.....again well done mate now show your family you are not as grumpy as they think you are....
