I would kill to have this kind of support right now... To have someone push me beyond my threshold. To have someone I could sit with on a weekly basis that would critique my progress, training and diet.

Sure we have a few trainers at the gym I attend... would I trust any of them with my training, and or diet.. eh.. NOPE! The only one that I would trust isn't a trainer right now and I don't see him much.

I can feel when I am stalling and I know when my body's hit a plateau... but do I know what to look for as for as symmetry? Definition? Overall shape I need to be to compete Figure? Not a fecking clue... This will prolly put me at a huge disadvantage... I even considered doing a smaller show instead of this huge one and saving the bigger show for next year. This show I am doing for me.. If I leave with a trophy.. hell I'll be ecstatic.. but If I don't then it won't bother me one bit. I want to be in the best shape of my life... If I'm too hard or too soft for the judges liking .. eh, oh well.. but i've made a promise to myself that I won't set one foot on stage if I don't give 100% to my training and diet.. If there is one doubt in my mind that I could look better.

OUCH! GOT ME!

I stopped dieting really heavy because I just felt my upper body going to crap. Still eating clean but added in more carb up days. Holding alot of water and well yep fat. I'm 16 weeks out on Friday so I figured I'd recharge and start fresh then. Since I have noticed despite losing a few lbs that my upper body is coming along.

The mirror hasn't been my friend lately .... LOL. Gosh I'd hate to see what the camera does to me .

Gonna give this new cutting a week or so and see where it takes me and take a few good shots.



LOL.. and yes Shadow left a shoe print on my left glute.... OUCH

You don't need to worry too much about how you are at 16 weeks out, but come 12 weeks you need to start locking in seriously. My point w/ the pix is that because you hit the point where you no longer can "build" because you are cutting your carbs, calories, etc. you actually need to start relying more on how you look than actual numbers of bodyfat, weight, etc. Its more, where & how you hold your water, rounding out certain areas so your poses look good, etc. etc. And a lot of that you can only get from looking at yourself.

I think I focused to much on diet to far out. I feel fuller now not as flat but of course the fluid is a problem. Carbs alittle higher than they were before. Added in Brown rice to the diet which I wasn't having a few weeks ago.

So I'm gonna kill it for a few weeks and see where it gets me. Also the cardio was dropped completely. that starts back up soon



Miss24k........... OUCH! But damn I love the whip hee hee

Diet is good to watch, but your body is changing and you need to keep it changing so for ex you don't start leaning out too soon. I've only done prep on a 16 week schedule and always coming down from "fat", so I couldn't speak to maintaining a truly good "off season" weight. But it sounds like the little carb up will do you good!

3/17/05 - Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Comments:
Last nite I went to bed a bit earlier (not enough tho..) and got up about 30 min later than needed. Not as tired today and much less stressed at work. Tomorrow I have an early day at work & leave at 5 so I need to get to bed earlier tonite.

Practiced posing tonite. Comments were:
- Back is way too big for figure
- tone down bis & tris
- shape waist
- my butt is flat & square from too many yrs doing heavy leg press
- calves are great
- love the delts but need to shape them

So, just as a sanity check, I asked is this doable. He says he would've told me by now if it wasn't.

Also right now my waist looks sort of flabby right now, but I guess that's the fat going away. So now I get to sleep in a neoprene waist wrap w/ Preperation H on & probably yohimburn. Also do cardio in that in the morning and train in it at nite & nite cardio. I"m gonna smell like Prep H for the next 2 months! Awesome! Can I throw in some Bengay??

I just got done grilling some steak, some turkey patties, some salmon burgers and some chicken. I ate the salmon burgers, but they were pretty small. I'm going for the steak! God that fat smells sooo good! And I think my potatoes were too small yesterday due to miss calculation of how much I needed -- so I jacked those up a little to what they are supposed to be (1/2 of 145). That probably helped a lot w/ feeling tired & flaky.
