Weight - 160 pounds
I am continuing on my slow pre-contest diet. I actually put on two pounds after a re-feed day yesterday. Earlier in the week, while I was on three low-carb days, I dropped to 158. I’m looking OK mostly, except for the small pouch around my mid section that’s a little troubling. I still have 15 weeks until the contest and only need to drop no more than 10 pounds. I want to come in at around 148 verses the 138 I came in last June at the FAME Worlds.
One of my novice female bodybuilders and three of my novice males attended their first Posing Clinic at my home studio today. We worked on the symmetry round, relax pose, front double biceps, front lat spread and favorite most muscular. After we practiced these poses for a bit, I video taped them two at a time, putting them through a semi-contest round. After, we reviewed the tape and I offered suggestions on how they might improve. The two-hour session was fun and went well.
I continue to train solo as my training partner is recovering from shoulder surgery. We believe he hurt himself over time while he was spending two years earning his black belt in Karate. His rehab will last several more weeks.
