Contest preparation - 9 weeks out
Hi folks,
I will be keeping this blog as a personal reference to track my current contest preparation for the Belgian finals on October 13th.
Today is my off day, I’m currently in vacation. The sky seems to be clearing out so it will be a good day to spend some time with my wife and kid.
This morning I had 100g of oats, for the rest of the day no carbs… damn I hate these days, but they seemed to be effective last year, so I’ll do them anyway.
Veins are starting to become visible on legs and calves. Weight on the scale in the bathroom this morning was 109.5, I’m starting to doubt if I really made a lot of progress from last year, but it’s still too early to tell for sure… still carrying some fat on lower back, glutes and legs, I will have to keep an eye on these areas day by day to see if they improve.
Legs are still incredibly sore from the heavy leg workout yesterday. Put all plates on the leg press machine for 12 reps (500kg), followed by narrow stand squats with 180kg for 6 reps and then finished them off by doing barbell hack squats (80kg), lunges (32kg dumbells) and leg extensions.
