BNBF July 29th - First show prep…
I’m currently training for my very first natural bodybuilding show. I’ve never thought of competing until about 6 months ago when I finally decided to take the plunge. I figured I live the lifestyle, so why not do a show. I eat, breath, live and shit bodybuilding anyway. Having a goal of competing is great motivasion to be better.
My main motivation for competing is simple. I want to do something that not many people can, my challenge to myself therefor is to see if I’ve got what it takes. I don’t know another bodybuilder and have actually never even met a competitive bodybuilder in person. This is a totally solo affair for me which in itself makes it all the more challenging.
I’ve managed to gain about 15 lbs of pure muscle in the last year and a half after a lay off of about a year whilst I was travelling. I’d like to gain another 10 lbs or so but I must admit I’m finding it almost impossible. Still, anythings possible right?
I have turned my training around recently as my gains have slowed right down. I usually train using HIT and I love the intensity of it. I train using high volume training right now and the shock of changing my system has certainly kick started my growth. These gains are really most noticable in the mirror, I try not to judge using the scales - they lie!
