I have decided to compete (again after 10 years) in June '06. At the rate that fbb'ers in this day and age are getting, I KNOW I will not be competitve in that field, although I love the performance part of it. So, looks like figure will be my avenue.
I am on a mission to increase lean muscle. I am definitely a hard gainer. Boo-hoo! I started this mission this past June. It's been almost 12 weeks. I started off at 114.8lbs. with a bf of 18.7% with a handheld electronic instrument. (how it gives you the reading? weight, height and age. how accuate it is? Probably doesn't hold much, but I use it as a gauge.) My last weigh in was 122.5 with same bf%. Go figure! HA! So far I am very happy with my gains!
Steps to getting there. I am really focusing on my nutrition. Calorie intake as high as 3000 and on non-training days I have cut that down to 2600 -2700. I try to have at least 1-2 cheat meals on Sundays.
My training is usually very heavy/strict form w/ 2-3 forced reps. We train 4-5 days a week. Rest days are crucial even though I love training and dislike it!
Okay enough blabbering. Here are before shots June and 12 weeks recent shots.
Be kind, but honest.
