Preparing for battle

It is 9 weeks today to my next Competition; Aust Juniors & Masters April 19-20 in Melbourne. The past 6 weeks have been spent building overall body strength working the muscles from all angles. I have achieved a good result and increased my strength and lifted some great PB's in training. I have also addressed some technique issues. On the nutriton front the past 5 weeks have been used to detox, balance hormones and build mental toughness - and I can attest that has happened. I have also lost 1.5kgs on the scales and all of that is bf as I have managed to add lean muscle as well. So this has been the optimum result.

I have next week as a "deload and recovery week". There will be 3 low volume lifitng sessions, 3 HIIT sessions, 3 saunas, 2 massages and a facial!

The following week I start the official preparation with focus on the 3 lifts using gear. I will also be loosing another 2.5kgs with precise nutrient timing to maximise lifting performance while dropping the last 2-3% bf. From Monday 3rd March it is game on...........
