17 weeks out
I had a great Christmas holiday in Canada and New Jersey. I ate entirely too much. Didn’t do what I said I would do. I was good for a bit and even went to the gym while I was in Canada but when we went the NJ we didn’t have time to go to the gym or eat proper. We basically at three square meals that were full of fat and sodium and alot of junk in between. I weighed my self yesterday and I’m up to 130 lbs. That’s 11 lbs heavier than my show weight on November 15th. It’s funny because when I weighed 130 lbs in the summer I didn’t look like this. I had more bodyfat and I was bigger in size.
The trip from NJ was exhausting. I’m not sure how I’ll do when I travel to Pioria, IL on May 2nd. My friend told me that most competitors are traveling too so we all feel the same way. I’m just worried I’m going to be too tired to compete. I’m going to wait and see what happens closer to the show. I’m not registering until the last minute because I’m not traveling 8 1/2 hours if I’m not going to be ready. That means lots of leg and glute work.

Post depletion for shows your body really rebounds. It can potentially be great for mass gains, or if not given the right fuel some not so happy fat storing. My wife competed at a size 0-1 and within a month was a 7 even though she was at her old weight. You’ve got time and some experience under your belt now. You’ll do great!

You have a great work effort so I’m sure you’ll be ready. I would even dare to say you are going to blow away your last conditioning.
