June competition preparation..

No, I don't do HIIT. Just manual. I feel is best to burn fat at a low pace, but consistently. Now, something else might work best for other people. I dislike cardio to beging with, so the fact I found something I like and I don't have to kill myself doing it is great. Besides comes comp time, I'll have to do cardio more frequently, but I still do it at a good pace.
I also never do an hour of cardio. If I need to do more, I'll split it into 2 sessions. The max I do in 1 session is 35 minutes.
You're going to look amazing, I won't doubt that! you're very consistent.

An injure I had at the beginning of the year on both elbows is sort of coming back. I'm going for physical therapy, but I was really feeling it with these exercises. Besides, I have been very tired. I think it's time to take a few days off which I will do from New years day.

Butt blaster is a michine designed to work your glutes.
I've seen two kinds. One, you lay doggie style, there's a plate located behind you at your feet. You basically push out, extending your leg (one leg at a time)if you can envision this.
the other is the same, but standing, leaning forward slightly. I'll try to get a pic and post it.
I use both smith and free bar for squatting. However I'm most comfortable whith the smith when going heavy.
