Right now its up in the air for me. If I do decide to compete I'll be doing the NOV NLABBA show
Southern Alberta

First show
2010 Natural Provincials in Hamilton in September - Can't wait. I will be cleaning up my diet soon, however not hardcore dieting till about 7 or 8 weeks out. Hoping to kick some butt and take some names
Gonna give it another go for the fall---if the kidneys hold up....haven't decided between Ottawa's or London's
good to hear drdnj, u gotta give it another shot! im training at uwo wednesday and friday at 5:30 this week, swing by, haven't seen you in a while
im doing the London's this year in November
Fitness Star - March 27
Stratford - April 24?
Mississauga - whenever that is...
lol, staying within 10-15lbs of show weight all season ****ing sucks.
I find it a hard when you're doing a show every month. I did it in 2006 and while it wasn't that hard mentally or physically to diet and maintain near contest condition, what I did find is that I could not maintain my muscle for that long at a low body fat %. I can easily maintain muscle at 10%, but when I was hovering from 5-6-7 %, that is when it started to show. I was looking worse from show to show even though same body fat.
Perhaps it might have been easier with "assistance". Never again will I try to do shows outside of a 1 month window. week to week is another story, I find that is ideal.
what would you think about a couple shows two weeks apart?... I am thinking of doing a show in Vegas, but it's 2 weeks after provincials... a few people I talked to said that's perfect... you do the show, have a nice cheat, then just diet again till the next one... opinion?
2 weeks is good. 1 month gets difficult as it becomes a balance to get weight up a bit then bring it back down so there you're not burning up muscle as steve_d said.
I agree with Nate and Steve on this one.....Off season I am roughly 30lbs heavier, but I can lose weight like a Mofo so its not that bad, and I don't have to diet too hard - thankfully - and I don't have to do any cardio to lean out.
I say go for it - I think it would be an amazing experience. Which provincials are you doing?
ottawa's november
so how does this new system work? top 5 of every weight class qualifies for next level??
yes, thats how it should work. Hopefully Ottawas will be a good show. New promoters since basically the entire eastern region committee stepped down.
I am planning on sudbury & provincials. Originally was planning missisauga & provincials. I thought they were 3 weeks apart, but they are 4 weeks apart, so like I was saying before, I'd rather do them closer together. That + travel / babysitter arrangments etc. much better this way.
Haven't done a show in 4 years after competing year after year since '97.
lol, I was in shape for the London show last november but had work conflicts...been just keeping it there and tightening up bit by bit since then. The goal is to get to the point where I don't have to change anything for a show, just cut water, paint on the tan and walk on stage.
For show timing, it totally depends on how long it takes your body to normalize the water rebound and be able to take another water drop...and what your willpower is like...lol, sometimes that pizza is just too good!
if I can get my passport issues worked out and am allowed in the states, I'm going to do both shows...
Oh and the Provincials im doing is Manitoba
I'll be doing my 1st show ever on may 22nd in Quebec. It's called Quebec de l'est. I can't wait to step on stage for the first time !!!
I'm going to compete in the Mississauga championships May.22nd, and possibly the Ontario's as well the following month
Alberta Provincial Masters on June 19, then Provincial Open on the 26th.
I love that the shows are only a week apart!
Less than 16 weeks to go!
