10 more days
8 Days Out now and I can't believe I'm weighing in at under 170lbs in the morning.
Off day tomorrow, with 2, 55 minute cardio sessions.
Last Leg Day on Sunday, and Cardio gets cut to 2, 30 minute sessions on Sunday.
No more cardio after Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are off, show is on Saturday...ABSOLUTLEY CAN'T WAIT.
Get my Peak Week Plan on Sunday :)
You guys think I'm ready from the pics? I'm hoping to do well, its my first show and I dont want to end up being discouraged but I understand that it is bodybuilding and anything can happen on that day.
Hamstring shot from this am :)
6 days till weigh in - 167lbs this morning
5 days out
You are most definitely ready...This is phenomenal conditioning for anyone, let alone a first time competitor. With that said, you really could easily make welter weight, if you chose to do so. For a local show, it really doesn't matter what weight class you enter...But you do have conditioning that you would see at a national level stage, especially in your weight class. I know its a long time away if you are even thinking about that, but you could do well as a welter at nationals depending on the year . It's tough to know for sure, as you never really can tell until you're up there, but you're shape and conditioning are bang on. Perhaps the size would be better suited as a middle weight (up to 176) but that's what time is for. Keep it up.Quote:

But we'll see, I'm just hoping to enjoy the experience, have some fun with my routine and enjoy the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cake my mom is making for me for after the show.
I gotta remember it's bodybuilding and anything can happen on the day of the show, don't know who is going to show up. I've never worked harder at anything my whole life, here's hoping it pays off :)
right on... If waiting 2 years from now to compete, you really might be able to hold your own in the middleweight (165-176). I doubt you are going to drop more than a few pounds of water, since it doesn't look like you're holding that much (which is the way it should be at this point). Add 3-4 pounds per year, and you're looking at being over 170 in 2 years time. I won't be able to make the show - as its just a little too much of a drive, but look forward to seeing pics.
Thanks for the kind words Steve, really motivational and helps keep me going...Quote:
