The life of a bodybuilder is filled with weights, scales and food - then there is your non-gym life!
For me I have been trying to be more diligent about my dieting and training. Been really busy so that makes things more difficult. Most recently I've had to cut back one of my weight training days to accommodate my schedule. So I'll only be doing weights 4 days a week and cardio possibly 5. Since I won't be lifting on Saturdays for a while, I'm probably going to use that day to do some fasted-cardio to help cut some bodyfat.
Here are my goals for now:
Short term: cut 15 lbs by January 1st - I'm really focused on this goal. I want to hit a weight of 215lbs by then so that I can start my official contest prep in January with a nice solid weight of a lean 200lbs. That's almost where I competed last year for my first show. Then I'll have approximately 4 months to cut down to a SHREDDED 185. This should guarantee me my first top 5 finish. I can't wait.
Long term: Two top 5 finishes in 2011. I'm not sure if I'll be doing more than two shows in 2011, but if I keep up the pace that I've been going I'll probably end up doing one more show than I did the year before. Here's my tentative schedule:
April: ABA Nat. IL
May: NGA HOA
AUG: ABA North American
The last show is one of the biggest of the year and I would love to do that show and come in with the best shape of the year. Stay tuned for more info. I'll be posting updates to my diet, progress pictures as well as some training videos as I move toward an EPIC 2011 bodybuilding season!!
