Ok so today I am officially 20 weeks out from my next competition and yes the butterflies have commenced. Today I will be working on what my diet should like for the next 4 weeks. This is the hard part for me, those who know me....I am not a big food eater. I have a tendency to graze on my meals which as some of you know is not good since you don't really give your body an opportunity to draw from your other fuel stores in between meals if you are continually supplying it food. So if any of you have recipes to share, give them up. Next step is to also determine if I am working out properly for the "phase" I am suppose to be in....which I have no clue about. haha! Actually I am still trying to put some muscle mass on and then when I hit 16 weeks the precontest dieting shall begin. Did 12 weeks out last year and other than not knowing what I was doing, I still came in with alot of fat and water.
The last two weeks I have been doing one body part a day, working with a slow tempo on the exercises. Focusing on the muscle work versus the amount weight I am actually working with. with some exercises I am still using the same weight as before but most exercises I have to go down in weight. This type of workout is working out well for me, I feel like I am really hitting each body part and not running out of time I am allowed.
