I took 2 weeks "off" after Vegas and Jr Nationals to let my body heal a little bit.  My hamstring is still tight but o well, I have another one …So I only gained 4-5 lbs since Chicago (yea i’m shocked too, with all the crap i ate in Vegas LOL) …Hopefully this means I can get even smaller and tighter over the next 7 weeks than I was in Chicago.  I did roughly 6 weeks of contest prep starting at 122lbs before Chicago.  This time I’m starting at ~114lbs and I’m 7 weeks out from New York. 

This morning I ran bleachers.  Short workout, warm up lap, 10 minutes of drills, 15 minutes of sprints on the bleachers, cool down lap.  I felt every step of it.  I’m out of shape …I’m excited tho.  If I can stay healthy and afford to eat healthy then I should place much higher in the physique round this time.  Happy saturday to you!!

So i’m finally back and settled in from my last show.  I learned a lot as far as diet for this show.  I had NPC Jr Nationals about 3 weeks prior to Vegas so I was about where I wanted to be as far as physique, just had to maintain and try to not look bloated or full of water onstage.  I only carb depleted for about a day and a half for this show which worked well.

Results:

obstacle course - 52.65 (not my best, i got stuck on the wall and lost a good 3 seconds)

shuttle run - 35.6 (a new personal best, in spite of falling completely on my butt and "giving birth to a bean bag" as Willie put it lol)

Box jumps - 41.54 no comment
