2010 CBBF Bodybuilding Nationals.. ROLL CALL

[Dryvrgrl]

It's comming!! Getting closer!! 9 weeks away!

Anyone ready to officially throw your hat in the ring?
Who's going?
Who should we watch for?
What class are you in?
Any rumours of past greats taking another kick at the cat?
Anyone wanna pick faves to win? (I know it's kinda early, but what the hey...)

I'll out the peeps I know are going from Elite in Winnipeg

2010 Ms Manitoba Amber Pawlyshyn will be going, making her heavyweight debut

2010 mens lightweight winner Aaron McKay

2009 Ms Manitoba Leigh Mollison looking to kick it up to MIDDLEWEIGHT after 2 years competing as a national Lightweight

(Saskatoon CBBF bodybuilding only please.. Fitness figures masters and juniors in another thread)

Pics for Pro... Watch for Melody Spetko in womens this year... Bigger and planning on comming in LEANER this year! (even though a 2nd place finish in the insane masters class was an AMAZING debut last year)
she's hungry for it!

Lisa Giesbrecht who was a fbb turned figures and then back to BB has a great look.. long lines, not as much mass, but definatly a look that is appealing to both judges and audience!

Carmen Tocheniuk looking to break top 3

and my Leigh!! BIG improvements.. legs of a heavyweight! she put alot on top to match it this year.. gonna come in leaner and harder to show it all off!

[fitnessbyzara]

I'm competing in the Ontario Provincial on June 19th to qualify for the Nationals here is Toronto :)

I last competed in the CBBF National Naturals this past April in Laval and won 2nd in Bikini (open height class) and now I'm doing the Non-Tested Stream for the Non-Tested Canadas.

I came from competing in Figure for several years, but love, love Bikini. I hope however that Bikini stays in the "Athletic look" as opposed to just another "T n A" contest..mainly because I have the "A" but not the "T" and would not want the pressure of needing more "T" to win
Plus, I believe that Bikini Competitors should still train like an athlete would...i know that my "Figure" training is still the foundation of my training for Bikini. And my diet is just as my figure diet was as well...Just little tweaks here and there so that I don't look as hard/ripped as a figure girl would aim to present on stage.

I can't wait for the Ontario Provincials!!! And to meet with all the competitors from every Province :)

[Delt King]

Everybody already knows but count me in to come in diced in the middleweights!!!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Mark Richman confirmed he'll be there.

[ironwill]

Im pretty sure my buddy Trevor Martin, Mr. Manitoba, i forget which year is in heavyweights for second time after being top 3 a couple of times at light heavy....We are going to watch!!!

Delt King (and IronWill and anyone else on here...)... If I get REALLY on the ball between now and then... I'd like to try and arrange a CBB photo! Would you be open to that?

P.S.
I am cheering for all CBB members and I scream loud.. just a warning!

[natenator]

Ill be doing the live update thing from the show to CBB this year... so i want to try and know who everyone is this year so I can update more efficiently!

[Delt King]

Only time i take pics is when i'm in shape so count me in for a CBB shot in Saskatoon.

Do I have to guess which who in whoville you are?

Finding guys with hair in the Heavyweight/SuperHeavyweight division in the 2009/2010 pictures on MABBA is tough. What year is your avatar from... hmm, sorry the MD logo on the bottom left should have clued me in that it wasn't you :)

what you don't know of me?

Actually that is me in the MD pic, 2008 when I Won the SHW and Manitoba overall by Beating Big Mike Z I guess you wern't there, last year I took the SHW at the E cup (getting ripped off for the overalls along the way because I wasn't the local home town boy) However if I wouldn't have missed my flight and been able to load properly all day, it may have gone the other way...and now I'm walking into nationals with even more size (sitting at 5'10" right now and 230 with striated glutes) I believe thats simmilar to Fouad when he won..(We'll see everybody at the calgary wbff for a dry practice run in 3 weeks btw)

Heres some pics of me from last year and the year before... no pics of me from this year... As I like to keep things hidden untill show time. Have put on 15 lbs of muscle since the pics on the corners were taken and around +5 lbs and growing of muscle since the middle pics taken.

[gettinbigger]

ah p-22 the most annoying thing about you is that if you dropped your water today you'd be ready if the nationals were held this weekend...ya lean freak

ah p-22 the most annoying thing about you is that if you dropped your water today you'd be ready if the nationals were held this weekend...ya lean freak

lol I tried getting fat in the offseason a couple times but I don't gain anything more that way... this year I started dieting begining of May and measured 4.5% bf!!! (of course skin calipers are not acurate) but its relative to when I used to start dieting in the 8 % range.

[bigtavi8]

When i get top 5 this weekend at the Ontarios i will qualify for nationals. I will be doing it but not this year. The next year and i hope its not way out in saskatoon. Would be nice if it would be in T.O so i dont need a 1k plane ride and all the other travel nonsense. But hey its nationals it would be all worth it. Good luck to all Canadians doing the nationals and rock your prep. This is the pinnacle of Canadian BB so you must be at your best. Pulling for you DK you got this coach!

[Prisoner#22]

atta boy, P-22! Wish I could be there when you get you're pro card this year!

Thanks a lot man! I wish you could be there too. I am happy though that it is close to home for me, and I will have a lot of friends and family there pulling for me. I'm not working right now, just focused on coming into this show as big and lean/ dry as possible. Balls to the wall!!!

I'm 230 now morning weight and actually slowly gaining size as I continue to lean out. Glutes are fully in, probably as lean as I was when I won the Manitobas.. but I am shooting for the same condtion that Rob Belilse was in last year but fuller.

I know I have the shape, and the NPC judges last year told me another 5-10 lbs of muscle gain, bring up my hams and glutes and Im there. I have done that and now I am just focused on being the most conditioned athlete in the show.

I can't predict anything, other than the fact I am bringing it big-time this year.
If I don't win then its off to the north americans.... At this point its just a matter of time.

I always looked up to Fouad, and it would be nice to replicate what he did in 2006 in Saskatoon.

[Prisoner#22]

Oh and I would like to thank MEYERS DRUGS! they are my sole sponser, and I don't know what I would do without them, they have been so supportive!

[ironwill]

Meyers drugs was my one stop shop when i lived in the peg.....Good folks they are!!!! You have made great improvements over the yrs P-22, You backed up your talk!!! Kudos to you, not many folks can, or do!!!
Good luck all!!!!! Getting closer, and closer!!!

[natenator]

anyone I the only one who thinks it funny a pharmacy sponsoring a bodybuilder? lol

[ironwill]

anyone I the only one who thinks it funny a pharmacy sponsoring a bodybuilder? lol
lol, yeah it does sound funny...They are like a true supplements type store, or popeyes etc, plus a pharmacy!!! Its like heaven!!!:D

[Dryvrgrl]

anyone I the only one who thinks it funny a pharmacy sponsoring a bodybuilder? lol

its not really a pharmacy.. well it is.. but it's a supp store really. huge history of being the first place in winnipeg to stock bb supps.. i think

P22, I can not imagine you more conditioned that provincials! at one point back stage i was totally staring at ya.. (didnt know you were P22, just the guy who was winning the whole show) and was having some weird moment of trying to visually follow a pump of blood through your veins, cause i could see them all!! it was when i was waiting for Amber to win overall! lol
Great Job! I look forward to cheering for youon that National stage!!:fwave

[slin_shady1]

that's awesome to be sponsered by a pharmacy. I actually thought it was in gest for a second. There was a guy here in ns who put a thank you out to ug lab in his little thank you write up before night show posing routine, which I thought was pretty humerous(was lost on most of the crowd anyways), and thought this might be along the same avenue.

Good to get support from anyone who offers.

The next 9 weeks should be good,, nice to be in shape summer time, and really don't feel like I want to be doing anything else than what I'm doing now anyways.

Here are a few pics from this week. I always found in the past, posting pics as I prep has helped me, as it for some odd reason holds me accountable, to myself and peers to show progress so drives me a little more. That and I guess you're only in shape a handful of times every 5 years, so got to make the most of it......

stats are 5'8 230 morning and in pics, 236 night so shooting for somewhere mid to top end heavyweight (doesn't matter where I guess, as long as its dry, hard, and tight).

Diet hasn't been a killer yet, and cardio still at a decent doable pace.

Here's my hat in the ring.

[natenator]

**** dude, you've put on a bit of size in the past couple years eh?

or rather muscle density and maturity for sure!

Lookin solid!

[gettinbigger]

It was......Right beside the balmoral hotel......lol.....Get in for some supps, then head over to the titty bar!!!lol...

[Prisoner#22]

Looking good Santana! Heard you were pounding weights with Greg the other day.... and whats that kiddy toys in the background? Things certainly seem to have changed for you since you last hit the stage in 2006 eh?

[slin_shady1]

Thanks guys,, now the task of being sure its dialed in.

Gettingbigger : First time I have dieted for nationals without having to be out in the boat fishing. This is a much better deal.


Yes, saw Greg a few days before he went for his powerlifting meet in Toronto. He's a strong dude for sure.

As for the toys in the background, I've been house broken the last few years since I competed,.. got married, had a baby (little guy, 16 months now!); so things are definitely much different.. But in a good way :)

[steve_d]

the last few years since I competed,.. got married, had a baby (little guy, 16 months now!); so things are definitely much different.. But in a good way :)

I hear you...all the same with a 23 month old. It gets better each day, but you need all the help you can get when the last month or so of dieting kicks in!

Thank god my parents are hear right now. All the best to you for nationals! Show 'em what maritimers got.

[countrychic]

great work slin shady!!!

[melodyspetko]

8 weeks to go and counting!!. Like its already been said.. "im hungry for this"!!. ;)).. Excited to hit the stage soon!!..

[teeoff73]

You look great Slin, wish you the best of luck, hope to see you soon C.Dauphinee SK-NEWMINAS!!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Skimming through Fabiola Boulanger's blog, she says she's prepping for the Nationals. She should be in the heavyweights. These are pics of her from her 2009 FCPAQ win. Haven't seen any recent pics. I predict the heavyweight women to be all in super condition. Will be very interesting to see how everyone places.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Verifying Big Ron Partlow (http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14146)'s blog confirms he is prepping for the Nationals.

For those that don't know him, here's a face to the name.

[loutfi]

always in great condition big Ron

[Dryvrgrl]

David Abooty who has been a staple in photography at Nationals for 10 years will NOT be doing this show. Does anyone know who will be covering photography
We were kinda looking at getting some pics done with Leigh in Contest shape

[natenator]

I'm really pulling for big ron.

this guy has paid his dues

I believe Garry Bartlett is the official CBBF photographer. Has been so for a long time now.

X2
Ron is long overdue for a pro card. He is pro material and as many have stated, an ambassador to the sport. I know he will be going against other CBB competitors. It's only fair that the best man/body wins though. But I can't say I'd be disappointed if Ron becomes an IFBB pro.

[ms_moneypenny]

MP...gary bartlett is a staple...but last year, there were tons of photogs. Just trying to see who else might be covering the show

[MuSuLPhReAk]

David Ford covers a lot of events and I'm a fan of the style of pics he takes. I checked if he'll be there but his event calendar stops July 24.

One of the Inside Fitness Mag photographers will be there for sure. The list is on their facebook group.

Will keep an eye out to see if anyone confirms and post it up if they do.

Some of the other photographers there were from MD and RXmuscle.

[Dryvrgrl]

I want to find a photog. to do some pics of me and leigh! any photographers want to take pics of a couple buff lesbo's in very little clothing!!!

HEADS UP!!! Host hotel appears to be SOLD OUT of rooms!
the Ramada Golf Dome has an internet price of about 95 bucks a night (if you book 3 nights) can find that rate online only...(try expedia) I dont know if ramada is a dive or not.. but its cheap and only about 5 minutes from Venue and host hotel.

[dangit]

Not to get steal this thread, but watched some of vids from your link Dryvrgrl. Wicked :)

On another note Gary B does a lot of pics for Inside Fitness now.

Anyone see Santana latley? Just wondering how his prep is going. He looked like a huge ripped monster last time I saw him. I'll have to see if I can catch him working out in halifax again soon to get some motivation.

[slin_shady1]

Hey Danny,

Still putting my weeks in. lol. Trying to stay awake at work, but seem to be taking the occasional cat nap at my desk. Here are a few pics from this weekened. 226 in these, mostly just water to clear out now, and then figure out the timing of my carb up as Salim recommends. Training with him and following his advice has been the best thing that I could have hoped for. He is a wealth of knowledge and genuinely love the sport.

Still just at 20 min cardio (although our workouts are intense, giant sets, rest pause, etc.)

Look forward to seeing everyone out there. We are all really close now.

[gettinbigger]

wow man looking awesome...esp this far out. good luck. please say that it's at least hurtin' big time to look like that!

[Delt King]

Hey Slin all i can say is...WOW!!!

[slin_shady1]

Thanks guys,

Gettingbigger : I wouldn't say it hurts yet,, lol, a little tight on movement, but my energy levels are definitely in the shitter. I still take dextrose/gatorade/wheyprotein isolate mix shakes, 1 hour before, during and after the workout, so more than half my daily carb intake comes from those 3 hours. The sugar tastes great everyday, and definitely gives me enough energy to train full out.

[Big D]

NICE WORK slin_shady1.. your looking huge

[macka]

I want to find a photog. to do some pics of me and leigh! any photographers want to take pics of a couple buff lesbo's in very little clothing!!!



pick me pick me oooo oooo wait let me change lol. If I am working in the area, I'll drop in on the Fri night show and saturday if I can. I don't have my good camera with me, but I can take some hi def stuff with my smaller camera. The imaging isn't as good as with the rebel but it looks OK for web page stuff.

[dangit]

Wow you're looking crazy Slin. Best I've seen ya. I'll have to go see things up close at the gym sometime. Yeah, Salim really is a wealth of knowledge. The knows his stuff inside and out. Going to be a good show :)

[Prisoner#22]

Well Slin, All I can say from the standpoint of a potential competitor, is you look intimidating. Youre big everywhere, but well balanced, with huge muscle bellies everywhere it counts. Your waste is tight youre wide up top, your chest is massive, shit your legs are no slouch either youre very dry and lean inner thigh and deep cuts in the quads and look at those ham sweeps!

Definitely you are going to have great color on stage with such a nice dark tan already in place.... and as others have stated your conditioning... I can't believe how dry you are this far out. Congratulations so far bro, you are definitely bringing it to S'toon, and all I can say is I hope we are not in the same weight class.

[L3]

holy hamstrings.... thats just insane.. thanks for the motivation man

[Dryvrgrl]

THREE WEEKS AND A FEW HOURS YOU ALL CAN HAVE A BEER!! (or a cookie or a steak or whatever...)
Keep it up guys! (and gals!) Almost there!!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

And with the results of the BCABBA provincials in, the stage is set for the big showdown and the crowning of the new IFBB pros at the Canadian Nationals. Good luck to everyone, especially those of you who are members here. CBB is cheering you on.

[tpay]

I know it will be a tough show and I will do my best!

Did my two week out test run this weekend, and think it went well. Here's a shot from the shoot this weekend, courtesy of Gary Bartlett.

Weight here was 226 saturday of the shoot. Might tweak things a bit for nationals, but pretty happy how the run went.

First time I have ever carbed up for a show in my life, and have to say its the most uncomfortable day I have experienced, lol.

[Dryvrgrl]

LOL... Holy F-word!!
Slin.. you look CRAZY GOOD!!

this is gonna be a gooder!

Man you're going to make one crazy Super heavy or heavyweight. Wow!

[Dryvrgrl]

I don't know if it's just because i "know" some of you guys now... or if the level of competition is just better... but I'm even excited about Mens divisions this year!!

[jurr]

slin your a beast man!

[Prisoner#22]

Nice Slin! This was me July 4th!

[slin_shady1]

Thanks guys,

Happy with how it went. My friend, training partner/nutritionist is a real scientist with this stuff, which takes so much of the guess work out of it for me.

P22: July 4th.. !! Thats crazy,, a long summer of dieting for you in the works... We'll definitely have some fun out there and wrap it up in a good way. Look forward to meeting all from the board.

S.

[tpay]

Nice Slin! This was me July 4th!

Dude, even though we are friends I am still floored at how much you have improved over the last few years! You will rock it in Sask!!!

Good luck to everyone competing next weekend. Should be a great show. My wife took the sask novice open and prov overall this year in bodybuilding and was going to do nationals but 3 shows was just to hard to do, but we will be there cheering all you guys on.

[Dryvrgrl]

LOVE the Banner thinggy!!! AWESOME to see the members up there... Looks great MP!!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Thanks dryvrgrl. I'm going to try to make it a habit to promote those that are active members of the site and are competing. Going to do another for the figure, fitness, bikini and masters show after this one is over. A little challenging to get really good pics though :/

Can't put everyone up there but will do my best :)

Lean dude. You'll be the lean guy who wants carbs.

I'd sooner be called fat than skinny! And I'm pretty sure everyone wants carbs lol

Hey guys,

Just finished up flight into Saskatoon and settled in the hotel. This is my last day of carb deplete. Weight on my scale from home (brought with me) is still 224.5, and carb up tommorow. Hopefully its alittle heavier than the contest scale so I can squeeze into the heavies.

Here's a few pics just taken. Drying out nicely (still tonnes of sodium and water, ) so will only get better from here when I finally get filled out again.

See everyone soon!

Great work slin......Cant wait to see the final product...

[natenator]

jesus christ Santana. That's some sick conditioning and mass rolling into one package.

Good luck dude!!!!!

P.S. glad you aren't shy to share pics or care about who else see's what you're looking like. I've always felt it did not matter one bit and you seem to share the same opinion! Love it

[slin_shady1]

Thanks guys,,
I agree natenator.. What I look like right now, and keeping under "top secret wraps", iisn't going to change one thing for me onstage or for the judges. They will judge me on my flaws, conditioning and competitors standing next to me.
and.. hell, I seem to be in shape once every three years, so might as well display it a bit when it happens, as I'm back to 38 jeans in a month I'm sure, lol

Hey guys,

Going to be a great show tommorow. Got to meet up with a few from the board here. Jason is looking good! Should be good classes all around.
I weighed in at 223, just into heavy. 15 guys in the class, and all look pretty competitive. Just going to enjoy the night and try to rest up and prepare for tommorow/.
Here's a quick group pic of who I met.

Updates tommorow!

Congrads on getting your Pro Card,so happy to see a old CJM bro doing well.Great to see you put on weight from your last Canada`s and keep that conditioning..
I was amazed how good you looked when you posted your pics on CJM before you did your first Canada`s show.You should do a Pro show before you lose your conditioning.
