Here We Go AGAIN!
Finally, I met with my coach today. He’s been gearing up to do Master’s Nationals in P.A. At 12 weeks out he looked ridiculous! abs popping, and very lean. Now at 2 weeks out, he just looks ridiculously insane! Can’t wait to the pics from the show. Anyhoo…I’m back on a diet schedule, thank goodness. I felt all out of sorts and ate anyhthing and EVERYTHING! I have 9 weeks to bulk up and get some size on…and 9 weeks to lean out for a November show. I’m pretty happy with my back and arms. I feel like my legs , abs, chest and calves need size. I know…this sport is a long term sport. NOTHING happens over night. But, as I continue to train, and compete, I’ll just get a better feel for my body, and know what works and what doesn’t. I’ll continue to do cardio 3 days a week for 30 minutes to help keep the BF% low. Last time I started at 124lb/19% BF. Finished bulking at 147lbs/24% BF%. Leaned out to 119lbs/14-15% BF. I won’t get my BF up to that again.
I have a mini vacation coming up next week, plus the Forth of July this weekend. I’ll keep to my diet, but am able to splurge a little. YEAH!
I trained my back with my hubby last night. I haven’t trained with him a awhile, and it was fun. He helps me keep good form and encourages me. I didn’t go heavy. I used moderate weight but focused on higher reps to get the blood pumped in the muscles. My first week back into the gym, I didn’t want to strain anything. We ended the workout with deadlifts and I was about dead after that. I still had abs to throw in. I’ve started using weights in with abs…feels good. These past several workout after the show have been awesome! I hasn’t taken much to get a good pump in the muscles. And boy am I sore! I love it and am taking advantage of the growth I’ll get from it.
TRAIN HARD, LIFT HEAVY!
