We are pretty busy with preparing our next contest "WALTERS OPEN HOLLAND
CUP 2012"at the 6th of May in the city of Etten Leur. Recently we had a
meeting with Eddy Mangnus, Marcel Honingh. Wesley van Staveren, Rudy
Getteman and Chris van Crombrugghe. This group and many others are
working very hard to make this contest a real succes. Last year we had 75
competitors, and it looks like this time we will have even more athletes.
Several nearby countries have already showed interest in sending athletes to
participate in the OPEN HOLLAND CUP. Countries like England, Ireland, Italy,
and this week we received an email from the Chinese Bodybuilding
Federation from Beijing, informing us that they will send athletes to compete.
We have added several exciting points to our contest program, we will have
bodybuilding and fitness and entertainment as well. A mix of both, extra
surprises, come and watch and enjoy, you will not be disappointed !!
Again we have some good sponsors, who are prepared to support us
financially, so the overall winner in Mens category will again receive 1000,euro, plus other extra prices for the women overall and beginners overall.
We added a D-class category, for the athletes who have never competed,
the very beginners. Also for the best poser a hugh trofee.
We will also make a selection to represent the NBPF at the European
Championships Men and women in Rumenia.

SEA (SOUTH EAST ASIAN) BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIPS, MYANMAR.
(22-27 Febr.2012)

I was invited by the Myanmar Federation to judge this international contest,
the countries from this region can compete in this competition (like Thailand,
Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia).
This happening was organized in the most superior way, you could imagine,
really unbelievable, the smallest details got their attention. There was the full
cooperation of the city of Yangon ( before Rangoon).More than 75 assistants
and officials were present, every day, for a full week. In Western Europe we
only can dream about something like this. During the prejudging and
final competition day there was a live broadcasting on TV. At the opening
banquet the Mayor of the city of Yangon was present, Mr. U Hla Myint, a nice
show of music and dance was part of this banquet. Every day we had a
private driver and car waiting for us, whole day, outside the hotel. What more
can you ask for.!

The contest day, the big hall with balcony, was totally sold out, with an
extreme enthusiastic public. Besides the Mayor of Rangoon, also the Minister
of Sport and Tourism was present.
Regarding the contest, it is still amazing how these Asian bodybuilders can
build such amount of muscle and definition, with a bodyweight of 55 or 60
kg!! (see pictures below), perhaps they have some strong genes inside their
body. It is fascinating.
Next year the SEA GAMES (part of IOC) will be organized in Myanmar. Also
including bodybuilding, we have to be thankful to the Myanmar Parlement,
because they wanted that bodybuilding should be included. Do not forget,
Bodybuilding is the second popular sport in Myanmar.
The overall winner of the SEA Championships was Abdul Mutalib Mdis from
Malaysia.

TRAINING AND NUTRITION
Recent medical research shows, that aerobic training, like running on a
treadmill, sometimes for 30 minutes or even longer, does not mean that much
for improving general health and fitness. Look around in your gym, and you
see many people running on the treadmill, or riding the stationary bike. For
sure it does not have any muscle building effect. Recent research tells us,
that building and strengthening muscle mass is much more important for
health and fitness and prevention of diseases.
I have read some interesting articles, written by dr.DOUG Mc CUFF,
(USA) medical doctor of internal medicine and power trainer, in which he
explains the importance of training the Fast Twitch Fiber. When you use the
treadmill or bike in the gym, you are training mainly your Slow Fwist Fibers.
Even the positive effect of this kind of aerobic training (Slow Twist Fibers) on
heart and blood circulation is questionable.
www.bodyandfashion.nl
www.sportcentrumhank.nl
PAGINA 3
New research says, that we should prefer HIT Strength training, High Intensity,
Intermittent Training, in this way the Fast Twitch Fibers will be trained. The
training of these fast muscle fibers increases the production of your growth
hormone. This kind of training will also increase the strength and functioning
of the heart and blood vessels, compared to aerobic training. HIT training
will stimulate the size of the muscle mass.(size of the muscle fibrils will increase)
and at the same time a bigger uptake of glucoses in the muscles, and insulin
senility will be higher.
Your total body metabolism will be on a higher level, altogether a much
better way of stimulating hart and blood vessels function.
The total amount of glucoses in muscle tissue is around 250grams, compared
to 70grams in the liver. Muscle volume plays an important role in the
metabolism and health of our life.
Dr.DOUG Mc CUFF writes in his book "BODY by SCIENCE" that SLOW strength
training is the most effective way of stimulating the FAST TWITCH fibers. Each
repetition of each exercise is done in a very, very SLOW way, with maximal or
submaximal resistance. so no fast reps.!
FAST TWITCH fibers, however do not recover very quickly, they need AT
LEAST 48 hours of recovery time. The next training day will only take place 3 or
may be 4 days later. Dr. Mc CUFF even tells us, that it sometimes can take a
week to recover.
You start training again, only when you feel healthy and recovered, your
body tells you, very easy. You start too early your next training session, the
amount of cortisol will increase, and you will break down muscle tissue
(catabolic), in place of building up.
When you exercise SLOW training, it means that all your muscle fibers will be
extremely fatigued and exhausted in a short period of training. In this
way the metabolic capacity of the muscle increases and muscle mass will
increase as well.
At the same time we see an increase of blood volume to the right heart
ventricle, and thus more blood is pumped to the left heart ventricle, for
the blood circulation.
Like said before the exercise is done in a VERY SLOW way, during about
seven seconds, at the end do not extend fully, and go back during 7
seconds to the starting position, all done in a controlled way. After your
finished you rest 10- 30seconds, and go to the next exercise.
Every exercise movement is under control , every inch you move, till full
exhaustion of the muscle group, than you go to the next exercise in the same
way. After 12 to 15 minutes you have finished your workout, and experience
total muscle fatigue.
Big muscle groups will be trained: five basic exercises.
-leg press/chest press/compound row/pulling motion horizontal pull downoverhead press.

Mc Duff even advises at the beginning of each rep to hold on for 3 seconds
( or even longer!) and then move on with the exercise in the SLOW way as
said above, with sub maximal resistance. The meaning is create maximal
exhaustion in your muscles in a short time.
Next time, we will talk about what kind of nutrition to use in this kind of
training, and why it is not wise and even unhealthy to run a marathon.
Warm regards.
