yeah i live in bundoora… i’ve been to powercore but i dont like the crowd. i normally train in the morning around 10. which show did you go to see at camberwell? i competed in my first show INBA Vics a few weeks ago. Teen division. we had 14 in our div. some great guys. 2nd place was 6’3" and 100kg on stage. i did my own prep. my water manipulation wasnt great and my colour was terrible. gold bronze dream tan instead of red bronze! all separation was washed out. i dropped 20 kg in 15 weeks before the show which was a victory anyway. if i had 2-3 nore weeks it would have been great. 7.8% BF on stage but its not enuf.
How old are you vic boys?[/quote]

21 man. My mate place 3rd in the INBA vics! Then 4th in the Nationals, and they were his first 2 shows.

If your training at like 10am, theres not much of a crowd at either gym. On the plus side, you dont have to spend 20mins finding your db’s at powercore, theyre nice and labelled =D

I’m 22, I think it was september 21st? it was nabba,wnbf(maybe?). It was a show run by the owner of athletique.

yeah i went to that… too many chick divisions though. drained my life.[/quote]

I didn’t realise there were so many girls into it, sadly none were from athletique and majority were mums. Dad loved it though.

A guy who used too go to my high school has been really successful in natural bodybuilding, haven’t run into him since I’ve been into weights and he’s moved to QLD. Either of you guys go to geebung on a sunday?

another Victorian Bodybuilder has died terribly

this is taken from another website, unfortunatly I cant link to the board.

It’s with regret that I post yet another tragic loss for the Australian bodybuilding community.
This time it is a young 21yo boy by the name of Michael White.

This kid was about as nice as you could meet, a beautiful young boy with a friendly honest personality.
He died last night on his way home from competing in the INBA Olympia.
Many of you may have seen it on the news as the car accident in Mulgrave Victoria.

Michael is well known to all of us down here in Melb as a regular trainer at Spartans Gym.
He was one of the “Spartan Warriors” who opened up for Michael Faba this year at the CCI.

I have never known a time for such tragedy, this is truly a terrible time for bodybuilding.

R.I.P Michael.

yeah i’ve met michael white. great guy. he was with ASN if i’m not mistaken. steve musca came into work about an hour ago. poor guy looks like he’s doing it tough.
yeah but atleast 5stars db’s go to 150lb… lol! i train everywhere so meh! lol. having just lost my licence means i definately wont be going to power core. what div was your mate in?

these are the shows he’s competed in, I wouldn’t say his a mate but friend of a friend always friendly when I’d run into him same goes with his twin brother.

My mate was in Teens, and will be teens again next yeat. Hes 19 this year, 20 nxt year. but seeing hell be 19 at Jan 1st they put him in teens again next year. Which is weird i think

150lbers would be nice, seeing how Ive maxed out on the 50kgs for some exercises…but powercore are getting 70s soon so thats bout 150 i think?

oh your talking bout zach… he came in great condition too… benny has had a great run 5 titles in one year. 4 in 4 weeks. 2x vic teen titles. 2x aus teen titles. condition really trumps everything i the inba. does zach train at powercore? what did he weigh on stage?

Yeah, he usually trains at macleod YMCA i think but he came down with his brother last friday and we did some shoulders. He said he was about 81kg when he hit the stage at the first comp, dunno bout the second.

I saw some phots on facebook an from what I could tell he looked pretty good. His lower body needs some work but how many teens are there with decent legs?

i’m glad to say i am one of them. my legs make my upper body look small. i wish i was abit leaner before my prep and if i had better colour on. i didnt get a call out which shattered me but hey 14 competitors… some with experience too. i did my own prep aswell. is zach going to compete at the melbournes in april?
