We're three and a half weeks out from the New Zealand well the NZ IFBB Natural national championships and I'm going hard for the win A lot of it in the last week bro. Yeah, I'll call you up here. Me too I think it just washes everything out to be honest. Just try to show that on the camera It's still dark here ish Yeah, without some good average to be fair just Being sick You're on a holiday from course, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah, so it's That's good. So you can put a lot of Lot of time. No, it's hard. It's six to die. Yeah, it's too much too much time I like on course because I don't think about it. Oh, right. Yeah structure. Yeah Yeah, I don't I don't like dying when I don't have anything to do to do. Yeah shit You just keep yourself busy, you know, I mean, yeah, what there's not that much shit like I Yeah, anyway, oh good as long as I fucking not put on too much fat, you know, okay. Yeah, it's still going Yeah, you know, you're only putting on me Well, but my place tricks me every fucking day still so It well, but that's what I mean. That's what you hear You know, you've got me here to sort of see that as well because when I print the same thing your mind's like I'm not good enough. Yeah, you know everybody It always goes through your head, you know, so started I had a look at The winner of the classic and the means was a pro card from the natural show last last year. Yeah Yeah, I like yeah, I just I haven't seen him have that look Nothing special. Yeah I've got a pro cards. Yeah Yeah You know, it's not so I can say like what an opportunity. Yeah, it's gonna be good show Yeah, and it's just natural as you said, right? Yeah Yeah, now the show was good, bro. Yeah, it was that was fun. But yeah, it wasn't much There was actually some good classic guys there But not yeah, I didn't see there's quite a lineup. Yeah, some good classic visits at that show But not so much mean physics, you know, so and then to be honest, they're all fucking You know Using and then you probably won't be Yeah But anyways, what do you reckon right? Well, let's go. Let's do some rounds. We'll do classic around. Yeah, there you go. Nice. Yeah, it's how I get Just raise the chest a little bit more. There we go. Yep Great hand position It'll be early for you on a non Non-core step Yeah, great really good turn bar like that front arms and so forward. That's good Like yeah, nice Yeah, just under a little bit wider and silver back Yeah Face the front double bicep. Once again, I'm gasped up with this fucking cool attunement Don't take time on the hell. You don't need to rush. Yeah, it's basically the breathing and they do get you man It's tough. It's because you're not breathing in your pose. So breathe throughout the pose So you have your breath there for about five or ten seconds. So get into the post You breathe it from the post Through the nose. Yeah, just just a little bit Yeah, still breathe in your pose Otherwise holding your breath, you'll be real good. It's just here. Just a little bit through your nose And if you leave enough, I guess it's gonna be okay. Totally. Yeah, because you'll literally hit the post blow out And then just this little bit in and out of your nose. Yeah, because they don't want to show you gasping for air So yeah, if I'm breathing, I'll be holding it. Hold it. Yeah You're just gonna work on that, right? Work on that. Yeah, yeah, work on breathing without like Just through the nose. Just through the nose. Yeah, and yeah That's why that's why you're gasped because you're holding your breath for the whole pose And you're tensing everything So this edge can stay tight because you're not heavy breathing. Yeah And it's very nice. All right Side chest. Are you sure a side triceps is not in classic? 100% Okay, 100% Yeah, no side triceps No, it's it's only five poses. Yeah, you can do it in your routine or um as a You can do a side tricep as your favorite classic pose But as a mandatory note Great and then glute nice Core too and carry that pose on to back double bicep. Good chest up. Try again Yeah elbows back chest up Yeah Yeah, well elbows forward Sorry, uh shoulders back. Yeah shoulders back elbows forward so it won't open up And then imagine you're doing a lat pull down in that position. You're driving down Um in the lat pull down and then that will engage everything So it's like a roll of the elbows And then the shoulders go back Now shoulders back Yeah, so let's just get all you do is um feel it so you're down your elbows are forward and then do that So you go there and then do that Yeah, so it's just a Get the elbows forward and then you can just drive back. That's how I like to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice Don't have to push right back. But yeah, definitely just hold in the elbows wrong No, it's good. It's good.

Yeah Oh, yeah, which is true. Yeah, not that he said it was anything wrong, but they aren't the right ones. So, uh, yeah Anyway, I said a very classic place gonna be If not there Was this? Yeah So I think that you got your one from the front or your yeah I'm just gonna really suck suck it in What do you think? I what are we missing first time? um What was it? I don't know if it was a bingo bro. It was It was a side truss, yeah. I mean side um, chest chest It's like this. Oh, yeah, this is the older one, the most muscular here That's good.
