WOW your quads are looking ripped, and you have put some size on your lats from the last set of pics.
I also love those 'bum dents' you know, the ones you get on the side of your glutes, I wonder if there is a name for that?
I really like the staying in top condition part as well.
I also compete, and naturally, to be an example of staying in good condition, and BBing doesn't turn women into men.
You must get the same thing, women (and men) asking you for advice as to how you stay in shape cause you look amazing
You don't dehydrate do you for figure.
Do you carb or fat load?
Great Tatyana!
For years I didn't work hard, but kept myself in great condition, but wanted to be in excellent condition. I realized that competing is the only way. For one, if I'm not competing and go to a nice restaurant, I will have a glass of wine and dessert..and a pc of bread. But competing, nothing will go in my mouth that wont help me achieve my objective. I am highly discipline, but without comp, I wind up cheating a bit.
I do get lots of men and women asking me how I stay in such a great shape. I get that so much that I turn it into a business. As a result of modelling, image consulting and other endeavors.
I don't dehydrate ever; even the day of comp.
No Fat loading ever either. I don't believe (nor my nutritionist) in having too much fat. Once you do that, you'll have to kill yourself to burn it off. That said, I think a man can easier do that. They burn fat much faster then we do and wont hold as much as we do. we are looking to achieve a different look. I read a lot of people telling women not to worry about fat, but if you're not competing, why would you want to work that hard to burn it off later on?
I try my best to gain lean muscles. Of course, my fat % goes up a bit once I finish competing, but not much.
Yes, I carb load and carb deplete. Right now I'm depleting. I am very ripped; my veins are very noticible. On sat, day of comp, I'll load again and my muscles will fill up and will be full and hard. The comp I'm doing this time is a natural one and they like lean.
I will also drink 1.5g of water the day of comp..
Today 105.6 lbs
Did chest and tri at 80% intensity. Abs 100 % intensity.
Today will be my last cardio session (25 minutes)
only 75g of carbs today. Boy, I'll be bitchy!!
BTW, I have not put more size (I wish) is just an illution. I have more definition rather..
