19 weeks out…
I started working with Layne Norton at 20 weeks out. It was my birthday present to myself. I competed last year in the same show I plan on doing this year, and I brought a pretty good package: 5"7, 138, ~10% bodyfat. But I came in last, and was excrutiatingly disappointed because I’d taken two years off from competing in order to put on size, and this show was supposed to be my huge debut where I swept the open class and took home a pro card at 21 years old.
Well, not everything works out perfectly. So I decided two weeks ago that I was going to get revenge and do the same show and show them that my conditioning last year was a fluke; I can beat myself ten fold…I just needed the right coaching and guidance. So far, things have been running smoothly and I’m really confidence with where I’m at. I started dieting at 165lbs at 17 weeks out last year, and this morning, I weighed in at 162 with 19 weeks to go. So I know I’m at LEAST 2 weeks ahead of schedule…I’m definitely going to keep this momentum going!!!
