First championship and fighting with the scale
Sunday I will take part on my first Bench Press championship of the year. When I weigh at home, my scale reads 56,6kg; when I weigh at the gym, the scale reads 55,6kg. Big difference. Gilson tells me to trust the gym scale and not to worry about my weight. I always swear I will control my weight way before the competition, so as not to go wild days before. Everytime, though, something happens: this time, it was an insistent cough and a bad cold that prevented me from dieting (one shouldn’t do caloric deficit when fighting infection, right?) and wasting myself in cardio training.
Next week there will be another one, even more important and this time full Powerlifting (the three lifts).
I hate this constant fight with the scale and all the anxiety it brings…
I SWEAR next time I WILL diet way before, do a lot of cardio and enter the pre-contest week a good kilogram bellow my category limit (56kg).
