3 and 6 weeks out
the next few weeks will be fairly intense. i cut creatine out so i can get a better picture of my physique not holding all that water under the skin. i’m planning a "test run" of contest day the week before - cutting back water, watching my food, and posing at 12:30 to simulate prejudging. i scheduled a photo shoot for august 2nd to capture me in prime shape. and i’m slashing carbs again in order to up fat…which i discovered works for me my last contest prep so i’m running with it.
the focus for the next three weeks will be:
PLENTY of rest - at least 7 hours each night - this will be tough
LOTS of sprints - i skipped them a lot this week so i have some catching up to do. i think increasing rest and fats is going to help with this.
perfect diet - not worried about this one. i ran a 5K yesterday and didn’t even feel the need to pig out on carbs as the reward i promised myself. nothing looked good. that 1/2 banana and 1/2 orange was HEAVEN, though.
ab training - need to do more challenging workouts. these crunches are getting OLD
book hotels, hair appts, etc - just needs to get done, oh well
continue to lift heavy right up until probably thursday before the show. i need to retain as much muscle as possible, ESPECIALLY on my upper body.
