jacked in MI’s BodyBlog

I am 8 weeks out from my first bodybuilding competition, NPC Novice Michigan March 28, 2009.

I still have a good amount of work with my lower abs and surrounding skin but as long as I keep my diet strict, my cardio full bore, and my training focused I will be contest ready come comp day.

Keep blastin’ the iron everyone!

I attempted my second carb loading four days after the first one and it was great.

My carb loading consisted of six 1/2 cups of oatmeal with water, cinnamon and flaxseed oil through out the day and air popped popcorn for a snack last night. I achieved a 10/1 carb to protein ratio.

I hit two 45 minute cardio sessions along with back & biceps training yesterday.

My weight this morning did not change from yesterday’s reading so my goal of kicking my metabolism up a couple of notches with carb loading seems to be working and it is showing with a tighter waist and abs.

I did my first ever carb loading yesterday and the initial results are positive.

Oatmeal with cinnamon and flaxseed oil along with bananas were my food of choice during the carb loading.

My energy was good during my back and biceps workout and my body was warmer than usually throughout the day.

I am very interested to see how my body responds to this carb loading now that I am back to protein, good fats, and low carb eating.

Keep blastin’ the iron everyone!
