Getting Back the Muscle and Forming a Plan
I lost a bit of muscle and gained some fat due to a stomach virus I had a couple of weeks ago. I am back on track now, gaining back the muscle and loosing the fat, which feels good.
Last week I found out that the National IFBB show I was going to do in October doesn’t qualify the winner to receive a pro card and the National IFBB show in April next year is the pro card qualifier. I was in two minds about wether I was going to compete in Oct and April or put all my money and focus into just the April show.
After talking to my friends and fellow competitors and reading the advice people have left, I have decided to concentrate on the April show next year and put everything into the one competition that gives me the opportunity to achieve my goal.
This doesn’t mean I am going to sit back for the next 6 months until contest prep time. I plan on gaining muscle and loosing fat (as much as I can loose without compromising muscle gain) from now until April next year. Gain a bit of muscle. Focusing on proportion, thickness, symmetry and quality.
Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback and advice last week. I appreciate your thoughts.
