Scoular's Log

[Welsh Muscle Webmaster]

You might like to know that the write up of the NPA South East has been published. This is what it says about the juniors class:

Two young men stepped up to do battle in what was a closely fought contest. From the outset, Mario Gaeta from Tony Monty's Bodyflex Gym, Aylesbury caught the judges’ eye, with a well-conditioned physique and superb tan, accentuating his fine separation, head to toe. Steven Scoular was a worthy opponent, but looked a little pale alongside Mario, and in fairness this probably cost him some definition on stage. Stood together, Mario exhibited deeper leg separation, superior condition from the rear and overall, better balance between upper and lower body. Steven sported a fine side-chest shot but appeared a little wider on the hips than Mario, an impression that was further exaggerated by trunks that sat too low on his hips. Higher cut posing trunks would be much more flattering. In the free-posing round, Mario presented himself with confidence and style, punctuating his shots well with the music and moving effortlessly, with smooth transitions. While Steven’s presentation appeared more random, the manner in which he projected himself exuded confidence and self-belief, and will no doubt serve him well in the future. On this occasion he settled for second, but with more experience and training under his belt could well make a big impact some time in the near future. Well done to Mario for a superb display – he will certainly figure at the finals.

I've emboldened the comments about you specfically as I am sure they will be taken on board so that next time you win!

Thanks man,

I thought the report was quite accurate. I am paranoid about my hips now, heh!

Mario deserved to win and I wish him the best in the finals.

Week 3 of Intermediate 5x5 is passed.

uuuuweee! Squatting is getting harder. I go ATG until the max set where I then go paralell - takes it out of you.
Really hope I can last in squats.

Benching is harder too but so far so good.

Need to try and eat more and this should keep me adding weight on to the bar for a while longer.

4th week is were I attempt my current PB's and then 5th week is were it will get interesting as I go for new PB's.
