Friday, March 20, 2009 - 12 Weeks Until the 2009 FAME Master Pro World Championships, Montreal, Canada, June 13
Weight: 157.0
After week one of my contest diet, I’m down two pounds. I had a good week of heavy lifting, cardio and contest diet. The three low carb days and one high carb day plan is tracking well. I plan to come in for my contest at around 148 pounds, ten pounds more than the same contest last year. So far, so good.
This was Spring Break week in Birmingham. Many of my personal training clients have children, so I wasn’t surprised when I had 14 training hours canceled this week. I still managed to end the week with 22.5 personal training hours. Only one other trainer had more and he has been personal training at this YMCA for more than six years.
Next Friday I leave for Atlanta where I will judge the 2009 NGA 2nd Annual Natural Muscle and Figure Classic show on Saturday. I am looking forward to closely watching everything that goes on so I can make sure I am better prepared to promote my own show in Birmingham on July 11. I will be noting the music selections (house music), ticketing, flow of the show, the Master of Ceremonies (which I will be doing at my show) and back stage facilitation. I hope to learn some useful things from my observations. The promoter said I could speak to the athletes at the Saturday morning meeting to tell them about my upcoming show. I have a couple hundred show fliers to hand out.
