Great Bodies 2012

So ok. This year, the theme of the body building competition is about the movie 300.. (It obvious with the helmet motif)

This will be held in Dusit Hotel (Thani) in Pasay Road on Wednesday (August 8, 2012). Ok, so how do I feel? Hmm.. Well, my hopes are not sky-rocketing unlike last year. It's because I wasn't been able to present  on last year's November (I lose.. x_x). But still, I am giving my best to get my best appearance this coming Wednesday because the judges are giving their decisions based on what they have seen. And since the actual presentation will be held on November, its obvious that most of the participants will still have some fats else they will lose muscle on the long run.

I got my application today in Megamall because I'll be representing that branch. I was given a miss-aligned photo-copy of the application form because they don't want to give me the real printed application form. Maybe they are looking forward to other people but who cares. 

This is my fight and I will come to participate every year. I also got Wee Kiat to give me advice on how will I  be the best while staying natural.

A friend of mine told me that most of the competitors are using anabolic steroids. So goodluck with me being  natural.. Kung baga sa gulay I'm the Organic. Haha!

Anyway, I'll still remain natural. Maybe, I can improve my posing.

Slimmers World: Great Bodies Competition 2011


Event: Great Bodies 2011 Screening
Location: Dusit Thani Hotel, Makati, Philippines

Nagpunta ako sa screening for the SW GB 2011.. Xempre, mejo nakaka-kaba pero nakapag-pa-screen din ako.. Number 10 ako sa contestant number at naghintay from tanghali hanggang hapon bago matawag ang pangalan ko. Bago pumasok ay kinunan ako ng mug shot nung receptionist tapos tumuloy na ako sa loob ng panel room. Pumasok ako at nagbihis sa likod ng stage at lumabas na naka-bikini lang. Medyo jahe kase merong mga 7 panelists na nakatingen sayo at tanong nang tanong while you are there wearing your skimpy posing trunks and seating in the middle of a mini-stage. After that, nagrequest sila sa akin ng 2 poses and I give them a front double biceps at side chest pose. Tapos nagrequest naman yung isa to see my back and so I did a lat spread at back double biceps.

Kaso at the end eh hinde ako nakapasok which was announced few weeks after. Me mga nakilala akong mga friends dun, si Dominique: isang bikini model; si Ar~something: isang Ukrainian na friend ni Dominique; at si Joan: isang emplayado sa Standard Charter. Si Joan lang ang nakapasok sa amin pero nagback out din sa huli dahil sa kakulangan ng time nya for preparation sa kanyang body. Joan is on her 30s pero mukha pa din siyang nasa 20s. I think yun ung naging edge nya. Plus madameng lalake ang sumali doon at yung iba eh talagang malalaking manong na mamasel. I'm not sure kung nag-ssteroids sila pero who knows.

After that eh pinagbihis na kame at nagpunta sa SW Pasay Road branch which is sa likod lang ng Dusit. Doon eh kinuha ang blood pressure ko, timbang, body fat, at height. Masmaganda siguro kung makakagawa sila ng 8-point caliper body fat test which is more accurate rather than dun sa tancha-meter ng body fat na ipapahawak sa yo. After nun eh pinag-cardio kame, sit ups, push ups, at longest reach. Well, nagsurvive naman ako sa mga iyon. Si Dominique eh medyo nahirapan kase nagworkout siya before going to the screening kaya pagod tuloy yung mga muscles nya. Si Joan naman eh hinde na tinapos yung mga pinagawa sa kanya dahil hinde na kinaya ng kanyang powers. So after all that hardships and sangkatutak na kaba eh we reward ourselves sa Wendy's na malapit lang doon <3. Hahaha!

Hinde ko alam kung anu yung hinde ko nameet.. Ito ung mga suspecha ko
1. Since kakagaling ko lang sa pagbubulk eh mejo me body fats pa ako pero mascular to the max na xempre.. So baka hinde nagets ng judge na 3 months pa nman before ang competition so makakapagpalean pa ako with that duration.. Sabi nga nung ka-gym mate ko eh baka nagkulang daw ako sa buwan ng preparation.
2. Wala akong experience sa modeling. Kasama kase iyong tanong na yun dun sa form eh.. Yung friend kong isa na di ko naman nakita sa mismong screening day eh suprisingly nakapasok (iba talga pag me backer [suspecha]). Well.. payat siya at matangkad kase nagmomodel siya.. For me, hinde siya mukhang powerful.. payat lang talaga at chicken legs pa < term na ginamit nung isang gym friend ko describe him. Hinde siya pinayagan ng modeling agency nya kase pag natalo siya sa competition eh baka maka-apekto ito sa kanyang kredibilidad so nagbackout din siya sa huli.

Anyway, ok na din kase na-experience ko ung magkaron ng "pressure" dahil me mga preparation nga ng body for the competition.

Well, eventhough hinde na ko makakapag-compete this year eh itutuloy ko pa din ang pagpapalean.. Ngayon eh mga around 15% body fat na lang ako at kita na ung 4 abs ko.. Yung lower part na lang. Mejo humina din ako ng konte kase konte lang ang kakainen eh.. pero madameng protein dpat.

So at the end eh siguro I'll try again next time next year kung papalarin akong makapasok.
