Lookin good!

Check-in day with my coach! I was at 123.4 which is down from 124.2 on Wednesday. Cardio was bumped to 50 mins and we are now carb cycling, high carbs on my big lift days (legs, back and chest), low carbs on other lifts (shoulders, arms), and no carbs on the one day off the week that I don't lift and only do cardio.

[GirlyGymRat]

Trending in the right direction!!!

Thank you! I did some posing this afternoon after cardio and didn't feel small.....This pose made me feel good

[GirlyGymRat]

Seeing definition in legs!!

[megang]

So I am super stoked cause I have been asked by a couple people to help them with their fitness goals! It has reignited my desire to get that going again!

Today the goal was to build my boulder shoulders...got interrupted at the beginning by an older gentleman at the gym asking questions.....I had a decent workout but I might go to my apartment gym to do some extra work later

[GirlyGymRat]

Nice compliment. Ever think about making it a career?

So some things came up and I can no longer afford to do this competition in October or having a coach. So I am going into my off-season early which will be ok cause I now have a plan after almost having a breakdown about not doing the show! I am going to continue my current cycle until I am out which will be the beginning of Oct and then stay off probably until possibly Jan.

Let me know what you think of the plan.

As far as training is concerned nothing is really changing except I will only be doing 30 mins cardio. I will still be hitting back/chest/shoulders/arms twice a week and legs once. I will also be doing weighted crunches and body weight twists everyday to help build my 6 pack while keeping my obliques tight.

The main difference will be my nutrition though it isn't all that different. I will allow myself ONE cheat meal a week but I am going to stay away from alcohol.

1. 1/3c oats, 1 egg, 3/4c egg whites
2. 4oz chicken, veg
3. Chicken (4oz), 1/2c rice, veg
4. 4oz chicken, veg
5. lean beef (4oz), 1/2c rice
6. 3/4c egg whites, 1tbs peanut/almond butter

Might actually give anabolic fasting a try, it's a combination of the anabolic diet and intermittent fasting

Pretty much you fast for 12-16 hours eat two meals about 5 hours apart of protein, veg and fat and then about 4 hours later right before bed you have something like a banana and peanut butter.

Look up Cory Gregory, it's his plan I am looking at. He also explains how it asked him to train harder fasted and can eat what he wants on the weekends (while maintaining the fasted period of 12-16 hours). How much he eats is dependent upon how hard he has training and how hungry he is

[megang]

Went the anabolic fasting route and actually feel good with it thigh I am having to adapt to only eating three times a day as opposed to 6.

Yesterday I trained chest and back. I had a great workout and a decent pump going as well. Today is going to be legs.

Looking good! Sorry to hear about your set backs. They are hard. I had them over the past month as well. You just have to roll with it and finish strong and do the best you can. You are looking amazing!!!! Love your food. out of curiosity what was your coach charging you? Just workouts or nutrition too? I have a great coach that has taken many people to competitions and is pretty incredible.

My coach was doing just my diet but would give me ideas on training if i needed them. I was paying $150/month which was his old off-season price since I started with him during off-season when I moved to Indy. When I do get back into a prep I don't know if I will go back to him.

[AKD_FitChick]

I could give you the guy I use and you can check him out. I don't know his comp pricing. Let me check it out real quick.

Looks like he is 50 a week, but to include workouts I believe. He is huge into changing it up ALL the time. Which I love. I get bored quickly. I can eat the same thing daily, but I need to do different lifts. He is worth looking into. Has a couple girls competing in Olympia this year.

That's $200/month

[AKD_FitChick]

Yes, but that's with TRAINING too. So I don't know what he would do without that. Was just an idea. I know it's expensive.

I don't need training. It's all good though. This will give me a chance to try different diets and work on trying to improve my physique and add muscle before getting back into prep.

Weighed myself for fun this morning after following anabolic fasting for two days. I was down to 123 which was down from 126.4 on Sunday. I will do another set of progress pics and weigh myself again Friday before work. I am setting my weigh in day to Friday. It will be interesting to see how my body responds after 4 solid days of anabolic fasting. I am still getting in probably around 1400 calories but it's mainly fat and protein with minimal carbs only in my last meal of the day not including veg.

Macros for today

Meal 2

[AKD_FitChick]

Thank you!

I am 124.2 this morning. I haven't been sleeping well. I need to find something that will help me fall asleep faster. My goal in this off-season is to stay between 120-125 so that when I get on stage I can be around 115 but ripped.

Thank you! Now if only my back would like that thick!

[megang]

Working for my back gains.....

[AKD_FitChick]

Looking great!!!! Love the width you get in your back. Can you post a sample of your back workout, I would love to see and maybe incorporate some stuff. I love back!!!

[AKD_FitChick]

My trainer has me on some good ones that I already do, and I add more cause I feel like it's not enough for me.

[megang]

I will be weighing myself tomorrow but I am feeling good, now that my body has adapted some to the new diet. I feel great, strength is good. I did decide to end my cycle a little early since I wanted my body to adapt to my diet without it.

[megang]

My body had adjusted to the diet and water retention I believe has subsided. Last Friday I was 132.8 and this morning I am back down to 125.6, body fat is sitting around 20%! I feel good and am ready to pack on some muscle!

[GirlyGymRat]

Looking good!

[megang]

Looking good!

Thanks! I want to add as much size as possible before going into a prep thigh I will probably do a mini cut in January to see where I am at

[megang]

The pumps I have been getting are crazy and I am more vascular in my arms and shoulders for sure! Yesterday was heavy back/light chest. Today was heavy triceps/light shoulders.

[megang]

Loving the progress so far! Today was heavy chest and light back

[megang]

Up 1lb from last Friday to 126.6 and I am ok with it cause I am still at the same body fat %! I feel good, my lifts are improving and I see progress already!

[GirlyGymRat]

Looking good. Carry on!

[megang]

Thank you!

Weight this morning was 127.6
