Figure Competition Progress: 7 Weeks Left

Posted Jul 07 2008 7:12pm

Everything is going well. Today was the ultimate test for me. A coworker brought in a homemade chocolate cake and on top of that someone bought pizza for the entire office! I stayed strong and stuck to my chicken.

I also met with my stage trainer this past weekend and we have dropped my carbs down a bit. That just means taking control and keeping track of everything. Once you know what you can have it really isn’t hard. I am pumping in the protein (130 g/day) and taking in 40 g of carbs for 2 days and then 60 g of carbs 2 days and so on.

Workouts are kicking butt. I am continuing to push myself and really get that weight up. Today I worked lower body and core. It went something like this:

Superset:

  • Squat: 105 lb x 8; 110 lbs x 6; 105 lbs x 6
  • Deadlift: 3 sets at 60 lbs x 10 reps

Superset:

  • Step-ups on bench: 50 lbs x 10; 50 lbs x 8
  • Lunges: 60 lbs x 8

Superset

  • Calve raises: 100 lbs x 6; 90 lbs x 8; 75 lbs x 7
  • Sumo squat: 95 lbs x 8

I finished off with a few isolated moves of leg extensions and curls to finish strong and really get my legs begging!

This workout kicked my tail and my legs are still shaking! I finished it off with a great protein snack and headed home to cook dinner.

I will be posting pictures before I leave for vacation next week. I have been taking picts every two weeks to help motivate me and remind me what I am working for.
