Ava Cowan’s BodyBlog

I am a week away from my competition and I am ready.  Flat, watery but that is normal and I am definitely lean.  Not crazy stringy lean, but I can tell when I carb up things will be poppin!  And poppin is always good lol.  I wanted to come in fuller than I did this summer and as of now my weight is up a few pounds from then, so right now I am right on track.  I have a feeling that super lean isn’t being rewarded anymore, and so I am making sure my shape is nice, full, round, and fat free. 

I am still taking the Mitotropin 2 times a day, and will continue to do so until I am finished.  No changes in anything I am doing right now.  I have come to believe that taking the Mito has definitely helped me through some rough spots.  This year I was diagoned with hypothyrodism and my metabolism is shot from dieting for the past 10 months.  So I didn’t come into this contest prep with things in my favor.  I have been plagued with fatique both mentally and physically compounded by a lagging metabolism.  I had to decrease calories, up my cardio and I started the Mitotropin 30 days out hoping for some help getting all the fat off. 

I believe it was the combination of it all that helped get me where I am right now.  To be honest, I really needed the extra help and I have faith in the efficacy of Gaspari Nutrition’s products.  I wouldn’t promote, discuss or use them precontest if I wasn’t completely convinced that the products could help me acheive my goals.  It is sort of like hiring a trainer, you have to let go and have faith.  Once I have done my research and am satisfied with what I find, I don’t second guess, I just go. 

You are either in or you are out. 

My training, nutrition and supplementation protocols are no different. 

I will post pics of my show and you can see for yourself.

One week left!
