My husband and I - National's 2013 Edition!!!
Here we go again, we must be crazy, lol.
So kids are 18 months and 4.5 years this time around. More sleep makes prep much better!
I am prepping for the IFBB International Events Qualifier (formerly known as World Qualifier) being held in Winnipeg on April 27th.
I am 9 weeks from that show and up until this point everything has been awesome!
I am stronger than ever (bench 145 for 10, deadlift 225 for 12, squat (sucks, but good for me) 185 for 12, and I am leg pressing 14 plates for reps). I have never been able to train legs this consistantly due to my Ank Spon, so maybe I have put some muscle on my leggies! We'll soon find out.
The diet has been really easy until this point with having a junk day once a week.
It's time to take out the junk and only clean re-feed when necessary.
My weight is hoovering in the low 140's. I figure I will be sub 125 dehydrated onstage. Weight is not that important but it helps me track progress versus previous preps.
I have done no cardio up until this point. I am going to slowly add some in the next couple of weeks.
The goal is to be leaner and tighter than at last year at Provincial's (but I was 8 months post baby!). I need to work on posing to perfect it all!
We are sponsored by Cygen Laboratories and will be doing a video log of our progress, so we'll link that up to this thread soon.
My husband Steve is competing at the CBBF National Event being held (here!) in Halifax in July. So as soon as I am done my prep his will begin! Not sure how this will all go down since last year we dieted together and I think it was easier. It also made me competitive with him, if he was getting leaner - I was motivated to get leaner, lol. Who know's maybe dieting at seperate times will be easier. Maybe his prep will stop me from getting fat off season, lol!
For anyone who doesn't know us here's the link to last years prep (I think we have 4 journals over the last few years, but I'll just link to the most recent one):
