View Full Version : My Bodybuilding Competition
Holy moly the girl in the blue bikini is skinny! Who in those pics were 1st, 2nd and 3rd?
You looked like you were enjoying yourself :)
You look in better condition and definition than all the others - except for #4 who's in great shape. I'm surprised you didn't place.
Still, huge well done, and can't wait to see you at St Albans! :D

You look brilliant Sinead, love the new bikini although nothing will ever top the green sparkly one it always makes me think of mermaids. Odd but there we go. You've come so far your dedication is amazing and you can tell by your face that you love doing it. :)
Was this a 'Figure' competition again? That girl in pink has pecs! She's way beyond 'Figure' surely?

The girl in pink won! .. Figure is so hard to judge, I think she should have been physique but it's a nightmare basically
So, day 1 of the new diet begins ! .. I am going PROPER hardcore now - got someone else doing my diet... I need to make big changes over the next 26 days in order to be competitive and by god am I going to do it .... if I don't die in the process ;)
Watch this space !
Mawee, thank you for the pics hun, they're great :)

Really can't fathom how she could get away with being figure category myself, she's absolutely ripped, she'd put He-Man to shame :p

Looking fab Piggy.

I haven't said anything but have been thinking pretty much the same, I thought it was figure too.. and by my eye only 3 people in the line up have figures... you'd have definitely placed if I were judging!
That has always been my "complaint" as well. Some of the girls come in really hard and it just doesn't suit figure, they should move in to the physique class. Having said that, it must be difficult for a judge if somebody does come in looking a little hard not to give them a placing over somebody who isn't. It's a very fine line.

Thanks guys :)
As Jamie said, figure is SO hard to judge... men tend to have very similar bodyshapes whereas women's are all totally different.
I knew she would win as soon as I saw her... if I could get better condition though I really think I could get a trophy but no matter how hard you work you just never know who's going to turn up on the day
3 days on the new regime have been survived! horaaah !

Good luck on the diet, and well done on all the hard work so far it shows :)
I can see how it would be hard to judge but personally I feel that once a woman has pecs more so than breasts, she has gone beyond any notion of 'Figure' :p
The blonde one in the pink bikini has some odd poses going on!
Do you think the girl who won it maybe entered because she thought she had more chance of winning that than miss physique? Does that happen much? Would she have placed if she was doing physique instead of figure?
Piggymon
08-07-2011, 20:53
Some people have NO idea how to pose and don't seem to want to learn !! ;D
I don't think she did to be honest, the figure class is much more popular because it's a little more " girly " with the heels etc... I think she may well have come 2nd in physique if she did that but to be honest although she has the condition, she doesn't have the muscle mass for physique
She looks a big girl but actually she's teensy !
The hard part of my diet is coming .. the dreaded weekend ! .. Easy to stick to the diet in work as I'm in a routine with my breaks etc but at the weekends is a totally different ball game :/
I'm going to do it though! I have so many people rallying around me, I'm not going to let them down :)
I noticed that, thought the tog might have caught them mid pose or something because they look like they are stood waiting for a bus :p
Piggymon
09-07-2011, 08:16
I was told my posing really stood out .. waiting for a bus LOL !!
Been practicing it every day in the lead up so it goes to show practice makes (nearly) perfect ! ;)
4lbs down since Sunday.. GET IN !!
Piggymon
23-07-2011, 09:55
Soooo, this has been hard ;D
I'm doing 2 hours of cardio every day and have been for the last 10 days.... that's on top of my normal weighs sessions
Diet has been very hard going, hungry all the time and craving different foods like mackerel and rice so not even craving naughty foods just something other than white fish and green veg :p
But ! BIG changes have been made. I'm 5lbs down from the competition weight at the Welsh and looking a lot leaner. Abs are coming through nicely when I pose them, more detail in my upper bod and a little bit of a teardrop coming through on my quads - nothing major but still the shape is there a bit so hopefully will come through more on show day
Bum & hips have come in now, looking more balanced.. someone said to me it looked like I'd had lipo LOL !!
Been really, really tough and as people will have seen on FB, I was at the point of throwing in the towel on Thursday
Work has been very stressful, got 1 girl off sick ( with stress !! ) so trying to do 2 jobs, as well as being exhausted, hungry and tetchy with lack of carbs it all got on top of me
Left work a little late and then all I could think about was that I couldn't manage the gym and cardio, I just couldn't do it. I proper cracked and had my head in my hands in tears saying to Jamie I wanted to give up, I couldn't do this for another day let alone another 10 !!
Thankfully, being the absolute rock that he is, he talked me through it
Can't thank everyone enough for being so supportive, was really overwhelmed by the messages I've had :)
So 8 days to go ! LET'S DO THIS !
There's 14 in my class so the classes will be split, not sure if they're doing it by height or weight yet. The good news is the figure class is on first ! So 1PM for the pre-judge then 5PM for the evening show ... this is great for everyone as you won't have to hang around and even better for me because it means I get to eat sooner :D

And today is the last day of the hardcore diet, did my last morning walkies this morning, just 1 gym session to go this evening, followed by walkies then 1 gym session tomorrow early and then ... CARB TIME !! :D
Feeling on top of the world right now, have made big changes since the Welsh and looking A LOT better than the competition last year \o/
Can't wait to see you on that stage, lady!
Piggymon
27-07-2011, 10:12
I can't wait to get up there, so ready for this :)
I have an interview with a local newspaper on Friday .. hehehe
How exciting about interview! Make sure you keep a copy for your scrapbook! :D
Can't wait to see you there! :D
Piggymon
27-07-2011, 15:45
I'm so excited I would be sick if I had any food in me ;D

I've put a piece of cake aside for you too :) Hope it doesn't go stale!
Piggymon
27-07-2011, 15:58
WOHOO !! I shall be nomming that straight after coming off stage in the evening show LOL !
Maybe I should have cut you a bigger piece..... :o
Surely not the cake I bought you?!

Yup - I've saved a slice for Sinead! The rest is gone! :D
Piggymon
28-07-2011, 09:46
I will have lots of nom noms, don't worry !
So that's me done with the exercise now ! Did a quick depletion circuit at the gym first thing this morning before tucking into 40g of oats ! That's twice my normal amount... Oh My God... heaven !!
Nothing else left to do now apart from kick back and relax over the next few days, ready for the big day :)
Best of luck to you!!! :D

You did brilliantly. Looked awesome on stage and so much better than last year. Loved the pose down you were having fun!

Well done Sinead! :)

Sorry to hear you didn't place this time but I've got no doubt you did brilliantly and I'll be interested to see the pictures. :)
Well done Sinead - you must be so pleased with yourself! :)
Placing or not, your commitment and unrelenting dedication to this is both admirable and an incredible achievement. :)
*claps and woops*
Who cares what the judges think. We all know you did brilliantly just to make it there and compete. Well done! Hope you enjoyed your post-event feast (did you manage more than a few mouthfuls) :)

Details here: http://www.npabodybuilding.com/ViewArticle.aspx?articleID=5435b39b-01ab-452a-9ebc-b7b3b523087a
Looks like same time as the St Albans one
Well I land at Heathrow at 11:15ish... Might be able to make it for a little... anybody want to pick me up from Heathrow? :p
Piggymon
03-08-2011, 20:37
Oh you lot.... you are lovely, thank you SO much !
Yes, clotted cream .. ROFL !! That was so funny... how DARE he leave it off my plate dammit !
So back on the diet today, not as harsh as the diet I had been doing and I get cheat meals with this one
Weight on competition day - 7st 4
Weight today 7st 11
OOPS ! ;D
Do you have to prebook tickets or can you buy them on the door?
Piggymon
05-08-2011, 12:25
That I don't know, I am going to email them to find out ... will post back here :)
Cool - as the timings of my flights should work out that I can make it... if I'm able to suck up enough...
Piggymon
06-08-2011, 09:20
Have emailed the lady to find out about the tickets, as soon as I know I'll post back here :)
Weigh in day - 7st 3.5lbs ;D
Looks like the 2 days of eating crap has done me no harm at all ! *phew*
Now for a nice gently coast into the NPA show !
Piggymon
07-08-2011, 14:02
Tickets can be bought on the door :)
Coolbeans :)
Are you sticking with the same t-walk?
One thing I did notice was that you spent less time on stage during yours than the others did; is it worth walking a touch slower? Or putting in some more poses? Or telling me to shut up because I know bugger all? ;)
Piggymon
07-08-2011, 17:24
I'll be doing a free posing routine instead of a t walk as it's a different fed - the same as the men and the physique ladies did at the show :) So will be on stage for 90 seconds this time WOOT !
My t walk was probably quicker because I did it properly and by the book ;D
Oh yeah... I uploaded my vid of your T Walk the other day and watched it back...
LOVE the choreography and thought it was really well timed!

Back on the fish/green veg diet for the last 2 weeks, just had my last cheat meal
I'm determined to get into the top 3 this time .. RAAAAAAAAH !!
Piggymon
04-09-2011, 10:15
One week to go !! EEEEEEEEK !!
How are you feeling?
Abs look great BTW. Have you managed to make much of a difference since your last comp?
Piggymon
04-09-2011, 16:46
Tired and hungry but confident ! .. Tightened up a lot since the last comp and have lost more fat off glutes/hips/thighs so looking much more balanced :)
I really couldn't have done any more so hoping it's enough for a top 3 placing.. we shall see :D
Can't wait to see you this sunday :)
I'm picking up the frenchie from LHR in the morning and heading on over.
I will warn you though... the amount of sun he's had he might be mistaken for a competitor - I am not joking! :p

See you all soon ! I have a good feeling about today :)
Amelie and I agree aqua is will look beautiful on you :)
Just finished her lunch so she is going for a nap and I will hop on a train over there. Matt and Amelie are planning to come and meet us afterwards for some chinese (and to admire your trophy RAAH!).
See you all soon xx
Good luck for the show :)
Don't know if you saw these headlines Sinead...
Apparently Jodie Marsh has gone from 'Glamour Model to BodyBuilder in just 7 weeks!'
http://www.ok.co.uk/posts/view/40421/Jodie-Marsh-has-actually-turned-into-a-bodybuilder-for-real
Competition prep for 7 weeks maybe, but she's been training for over 2 years! I remember seeing pics in 2009 where she was on the way to good definition and had gone from a size 12 to size 6/8 (which funnily enough has happened in the last 7 weeks according to them!) Talk about pimping unrealistic expectations!
Oh yeah the lady (Deb?) was talking about this at the Chinese eh Sinead?
BB x
Piggymon
04-10-2011, 18:28
Bloody press.. always got to take things out of context ! She may have dieted for 7 weeks, which is actually a very short prep! .. But you're right she has been training for much longer !
Deb, who I competed with at the NPA show, is the girlfriend of her trainer Tim
I hate to say it, but I'm bloody impressed ! The girl did good :D
I remember talking about it in Nandos - people saying she didn't show up?
ABOVE: Jodie apparently came fifth in the competition, although we don't know what that means
Well... just a guess... and I might be completely wrong... but I would say it means she was ranked 5th out of the competing body builders.
LOL! I know, I read that & thought WTF? How stupid are these people?
Isn't part of journalism finding out the answers? I mean, whilst it's obvious that coming fifth means you didn't come fourth or higher, why didn't they ask somebody?
they arent journalists, they're gossip hounds, it doesnt have to be true it just has to court publicity!
Justsomebloke
05-10-2011, 18:13
I've seen the pics of Jodie & she looks well fit, Kudos to her as she was a bit loose before & looks ten times better now, Shame about the fake tan though as that is one & only thing I really Hate about bodybuilding/builders.
I understand why they use the tan, but my goodness it makes competitors look hillarious! ;D
