What an incredible weekend. Out an early morning walk in Nottingham to clear m head and come down a bit

The show went pretty weell for me and I achieved my goals. Met big Si,The Rilla and Gym Pig who were all top guys and can't thank them enough for their support

Full show and weekend report and pics to come later today

Just got home after dropping Rilla off at Gatwick.

Amazing, brilliant, fun filled, superb weekend.

Just cannot tell you how much fun it was.

Love those blokes and Fiona (who loves me more than Rab )

Off to bed, then I'll try and fit data cable to upload photos etc

sounds good mate - look forward to the write up

The subject pretty much sums up what the weekend was all about and what went on

Congrats Rab, for all the effort and sacrifices you had to make and for the goals you achieved.

I told Jo about that mate and she's rippin me to shreds.

Suffice to say my efforts to act as a translator between Indian Curry House Waiters and Jocks din't quote to to plan.

Stephen C, whose a big bloke and a great lad wanted a sorbet and the waiter just couldn't understand him.

So in comes billy big bollocks and says in my best voice "He was a sorbet my good fellow"

The Indian chap obviously recognising a former ruler and member of the Raj, nods his head enthusiastically, we all laugh as it looks like I've explained this well.....


How effing wrong can you be?????


He comings back not with a Sorbet, but a bottle of SOL!!!!!


Que much well deserved piss taking of the smug English idiot!!!


Priceless, for everything else there's Mastercard!!!

On the show. WOW. was awesome. i was rpetty chilled aout it....happy with my condition and what i was taking to the stage on saturday. I felt it was bigger nd better than before and thats was asgood as i could hope for.

Seent eh class and guys just making the weigh in...having ate very little to do so then go eat....knew i was gonna be out sized but hold my own with condition.

went out and didt make the first couple of call outs. made the last call out which was good news and elt me get tore in and fight for it. afterwards i couldnt look at the sheet that was put up for sundays finalists..sent Fiona and weeman who were more relieved than me that i made the cut. Bri and Mark were mad i wasnt caled out earlier but thats the way it goes.

After that i knew i was at the bottom end of the finalists so there was no point in taking the same pacage to the stage. the judges seemed to be goign for size ofver all out condition. i therefor went for a big car up to come in much much fuller and bursting. worked ok. woke up realy full and tight. took to the stage the bigger fuller package but not quite as dry in the legs by the time i hit the stage..smoothed over a bloody hour befoe i went up. damn timing issue with carb up but another lesson learned.

ANyway. was happy enough wih the big full sunday package. just went up there and tried to enjoy it, knowing i had achieved my goal and peaked for the saturday to guarantee my place

on the top 6 guy. all outstanding and well deserved. a couple of them nailed it by coming in just good enough on the saturday and peaked perfectly ful and bonedry sunday. this is where its at for the experienced people and what i need to learn for the next time now i have more confidence i deserve a place somewhere on the finals

Sorbet - Sol Beer

that was so funny. Smug twat

Rab just needs more back width and depth and more shoulders and he'd get top 6 no problem.

His legs were really good, his side chest killed everyone on stage and he really worked hard to get top 10. At the side of the stage when others got their comparisons he never relaxed and he dryed out and ripped up even more so the judges couldn't ignore him.

Bloody brilliant showing

It was a great day - just wish I could have got Saturday off and been there for the two days

Big thanks to Simon for sortin out a training session and the tickets

Simon - Top guy and a total gent . A big strong bastard and very competitive - wish we'd had more tiime to train as he must be an excellent trainin partner

Rilla - Had me laughing all day . You cannot help but love the madness !! (Ill leave that to Simon to explain)

Rab - annoyingly a total gent and I liked him ! Awesome physique and should have been sixth . I even understood 10% of what he said !! Ripped to fuck and was even polite to other athletes who were clearly knobs

Fiona - Think she fell under the spell of the Rilla

Mark (TP) - seriously knowledgable and passionate about BB and supporting Rab - you're lucky to have him Rabby !

Sorryy I missed the meal , but 4 hours driving after 4 hours sleep was seriously hard

Re the show

I found the classic very confusing . Some of the top 6 were too top heavy and the winner had no Hams ( esp next to Rab ) . I thought the more balanced physiques should have been placing higher

sounds like a really good day or so!

grarin areas for sure mate. my shoudlers respond so will keep chipping away at those and tweaking things around to keep that moving forward. my delts are probably as good a shape as any but i have to piss with the short clavicle scenario i have so therefor they have to be super big and rounded off to give me the required look as a serious UK top level bodybuilder.Back is a c*nt for the bone reason but theres no reason i cant make it somewhat better in width and certainly in thickness and depth.

I thought all the top 6 were realy good mate. the Winner Harry ogg has an incredible and really big top half. Nobody could go near him for the size of hs top half. Reasons it was bigger was due to his superior conditioning t also due to the fact he has no legs especialyfrom the side whether there lack of depth ecomes more apparent. frot eh front not too bad as he hised it well and they are super cut and dry. Need to wait on pics to decide for sure but thats not what i personally go for in a physique. Thats not to say though i didnt think he was deserving of a podium just maybe not the win

Gym Pig did a run down of the blokes, so it's only fair I do as well.

Rilla

I picked him up from Gatwick and God only knows what everyone must have thought seeing this tall bloke with beard an a Pirate T-shirt. All weekend he was a constant source of fun and a top bloke.

Gym Pig

His sense of direction is legendary! He's also got a lovely car with a Sat Nav that get's lost!!!
GP is a great bloke and bloody big. It would be great fun to train more often and it would have made my day of he'd arrested Rab for being mahogany!

Mark

As GP has said Mark is Rab's traning partner and a really top notch man. Very funny, although his choice of drink is bizza\re as he doesn't like beer!

Stephen C

Big man and recipient of a sol beer because of me Stepehen said he's gonmna compete and I'm sure he'll do well.

Brian Harris aka Weeman

A legend, with many interesting photos and films on his phone. Also a genuine nioce man with huge arms and shoulders.

Fiona

Too good for Rab She's just lovely and I'm so pleased they're together as they seem perfect for each other. Lovely girl and looks very young

Rab

What can you say? Even better in person than on line.

The reason we got together and one of the best blokes I know.

Do I have to give each and all of you a personal reacharound as well? Ok, well here goes.

The Pirate Patriarch picked me up at Gatwick and really brought his A to make me feel right at home. We spent alot of time together and it was truly great. Tons of stupid stories of war and women. Very easy to be around.

Gym-pig: Legendary navigational skills as Simon said. Fucking nice car too.
Another great guy, that wasn't at all intimidated by the madness the Purate and I brought.

Rab: Initially I didn't understand a word he was saying, after a few hours though, it wasn't that bad. Si and I agreed it must be because he's the one that goes to the market every saturday. Great guy, though somebody needs to show him how to eat - you wont get big on bananas and protein shakes as well.

Mark: Ehm. Hard to say really as I'm not sure he could pass a preschool english test. Fuck me he was hard to understand. Took me about ten minutes (and him pulling up his shirt to point at the belly) before I figured out he said he had a hernia. It sounded more like he had an Arrrrrrrnia - whatever that is.
Weird choice of drinks as has been mentioned. Seemed like a very nice person from what I did understand.

Fiona: What a darling. I wonder how she can put up with Rabs face every day. So sweet. She kept wanting to kiss Simon though. :wub:

Brian: Not somebody I'd let anywhere near a female friend or a male friend for that matter. Truly nice guy, but fuck me I didn't need to see what he showed me.

Stephen: Another good guy - a shame we didn't get to spend more time with the scots.

PMSL

Mark is a builder and speaks at 100mph even for us.. He did say he thought Rilla was having trouble understanding us and i said...well....yess..thats why i started speaking slower and cleared so he would understand you pleb lol. Glaswegian accents are pretty rough

I ment to add. Rilla kept on having digs at me all weekend telling me to eat more as i was so skinny. after a few drinks i had to threaten to take him out but tbh he just ignored me and kept dishing out the bause C*nt.

You eat like a girl...
(and you look like one too)

This is true. You ate at least 3 times more than me in the Indian and i must show respect to anyone who can pack away that much rice. i think you ate about a kg of the stuff!!! nevermind the naan and several bits of each curry

pretty good little place we found.

I just think you need a little more width - and thats just because the others are getting away with more weight being on their shoulders and chest at the expense of their legs !
As I said the asian lads V shape is awesome . Although anyone who has his name printed on his and his friends hoodies is a bit of a bunker nut . Unfortunately you need to attack his strengths !!

Your hamstrings are excellent and I still stand by you getting 6th . Your side chest pose is brilliant

As big Si said top ten in your first year is bloody amazing !!

Any idea what you weighed and your placing ??

GP


PS rice cakes covered in lady boy tan are obviously and aquired taste

Thanks mate. 6th place would have been amazing but as i said, im happy with the resultand dont want to take anything away from the top 6 lads who i thought were all veryvery good...i suppose it is the brits and a champion of champions show so...

Sat morning i was 81kg. Sunday morning i had a quick look and was 82kg appx after the big carb up. Sunday you dont have to weigh in, only Saturday so i had about 5kg still of muscle that i can sport and still be in the class. adding that on the right places. May have to be more specific with my training if i want to polish off a brits level top physique. ie...keep quad work down and shoudler work up for example. balance out and polish it off a bit bigger and a bit more balanced
