Hey GGR -
I haven't thought through it completely, but I have a new coach who is trying to get me to complete in Physique. We'll see. There's also a women's only powerlifting meet being planned for the summer - that should be a hoot!
I'd like the scale to stay about the same (such a girly thing I know - but it still scares me to go up too much), and to lean out a bit more over the next six months.
Oh - and I'd like to get better on the stairmaster - there's a girl here who I read her log - and she can last for hours!

GREAT gym days since my return. Did chest yesterday and killed shoulders today. I've been incorporating a couple more exercises that previously - and the additional volume is helping me get great pumps.
I've also tried to use a little heavier weights to stress myself a bit more.
Very fatigued tonight, and my chest is sore - so it seems to be working!

Legs today with my coach. Oh Lordy!
I was dripping by the time we got thru the "warm-up" as he calls it.
Lots of leg extensions, leg press, and squats.
Talk about motivation? I watched my coach front squat - FOUR plates!
Great day and I'm already tight by bedtime.

Life is good!
Haven't been posting much, but the training is going good. Remaining consistent, which is most of the battle.
Diet and cardio have changed significantly, and I've dropped 5# in one week!
Just in time too - the hubby is taking me on a much needed mini-vacation next month.
I need to look HOT hahaha

Training and diet are on point. Cardio is up to 45 minutes, 6 x week.
I've learned to train a lot more intensely this year, and it really shows! My lats are wider, and working on minimizing my waist (from the heavy lifting). The new coach has made so many changes - and it's going to be a good summer.
Back today:
WU with pullups; 4 sets to failure
Hammer pulldowns - 4 sets, up to 2 plates on a side x 6 reps
Cable pulldowns - 3 sets ending with a double drop
Seated cable rows - 4 sets. Top set with rest pause and drops
DB rows with 40#, to the hip 3 straight sets
Abs and cardio

Started with an Oly lifting class in the morning.

Then some rowing, and 40 minutes of walking
Great day!
