Amore's 1st Figure Comp. Prep

[amore]

Hello!!

Ok... 1st competition in either July or August.. Need to still select one. Not sure of what the levels mean... Ex. Level IV-A. ??

Currently: Weight: 149-152 depending on the day, LOL. Body fat %: Too high, mid 20s I am guessing. Will have it measured.

Just hired a new trainer (last one was not working out for me, he did not stress diet AT ALL basically which I thought was wrong). SHE has trained people for over 10 years. She has competed numerously. Currently she is getting ready for a figure competition in July. She took me through an intro workout yesterday which was great. Very fast paced, supersets, drop sets, with short rests. I think that I will only have her train me part time as 1. she's very busy (trains at 5 gyms in town including the Ritz Carlton) and 2. I don't want to spend too much/I can train solo.

Started yesterday. Before this I trained solo on and off for 3 weeks, before that steadily for about 2 months with trainer. Gained strenth and muscle and well fat too.

Looks like a plan -- this new trainer deals w/ diet as well? Unless you have someone who is specifically experienced w/ contest prep, most trainers don't carry the credentials to provide a diet and most won't because of the liability. Not saying that all competition trainers are credentialed as dieticians, but they are operating on the assumption that you are a healthy person to start w/ and the diet is very specific to your goals.

Good luck!

Not sure about her actual credential but she has competed in bodybuilding in the past. She's 43 years old and has taken a few years off. I saw her photos though from competition and wow! She had to know diet to do that!! I need to get the spelling of her name exactly and look her up on the net.

Thank you for the good words Bunny and Sassy ;-))

Your pics look good!

Consider this as positive feedback...

* you need to focus more on your leg training, specifically hamstrings are lagging. How heavy do you train them?
* as your fat levels drop it would be a good idea not to let go of upper body workouts.
