where are you right now with your dieting?

LOL - pieting at present. Was 98kg in March @ 9.8%, now 112ish at an unknown BF% (Im guessing 14ish?). Plan is to get to 120ish by early next year then slow diet down.

Grainy mature muscle here we come

Enuff of the mature already MNZ! But here's hoping I can get that grainy carved outa granite look in 2012. Currently I'm more like scooped outa marshmellow!

mmmm marshmellow .... 112 @ 14 ish? ... how will an extra 8kg work into this? I actually dont mind sitting around 16% as its strong and recovery is quite good. hows your strength levels ..

cool story Nate you looked like the real deal in those comp pics

be good too see the difference you have made when you compete again

Thats awesome dude, now just need a current pic to chuck in before you start cutting Always great to see the different stages the bodies at.

Looking like a young Jay Cutler.

That's 10kg ov lean mass! Must be doing something right.

Holy Crap Nate! You looked awesome in the bodybuilding pic. Do you not have any from the comp? How did you end up going?

Mnz is bang on, once you 'uncover' the muscle again it's gonna be mature and grainy as f*ck. Will be awesome to see in the flesh.

How long are you thinking of bulking for? If you hit 120kg you're gonna want to give yourself a good 9 months to cut to comp condition

Geez, 9 months of dieting

Standard powerlifting transition time

I've seen the pics of you on stage in 2-000 I should try get em off Darren.

Sick pics Nate!!!!
Dynamic dynamite deltoids doing the damage in those pics

Shows what can be done with a stubborn mind!

Right, off to lift some weights! Stubbornly.

Damn, looked sharp! Keen to see what you uncover this time around!

Hmmm...seem to remember Saturn TV covered the 2000 Nationals at the Michael Fowler Centre and I have that said video of Nates class somewhere around here.
Might put it up unless he's too embarrassed and exercises his editing/deleting powers.

Do it, do it... unless that dodgy leg of yours stops you from running away !

Pretty sure the admin powers can override his editing/deleting powers. I'm happy to put it to the test if needed.

Good progress, Nate. Keep training hard and you'll get there.

Watch this space!!.....just a bit of technology to contend with first1

Volume & food... thats the major change. More like the way DS used to have you training but with one real heavy exercise first.

Very few from comp - too dark and on shit camera. Came 2nd to Big Darren, who wasn't that big back then but damn he was shredded - striated glutes in a novice comp! Had a good field that year.
I drop weight pretty fast, looking at 20 weeks dieting.

oldfella wrote:Geez, 9 months of dieting

As above only 20 weeks!

That'd be awesome man as I don't have any of the lineup. Be good to see what I looked like next to Darren, Kerry, Grant etc

Yeah - surprised me when I found the pics - I'd identified delts as a weak point this time around? They've responded well though and hopefully bigger & better in 2012.

I lost my video of the show, would love a copy of it? If you wanna you tube it for here sweet as by me (not that Pseudo's giving me a choice lol).

Nath dont know if you remember this but remember spotting you once doing squats think it was about 220 or 240kg and you used to have that beeded neclis around you neck which was getting to small for you cause your neck was getting bigger lol and you went to do your first rep and the thing exploded all over the gym but you didnt break your consintration till the end
