So still behind conditioning wise, and today is the 7 weeks out mark.
Things are going to get tough. Energy is definitely less then stellar. Plus the mental hang up of feeling so ‘small’ is tough.
I’m very much trying to look at this as an ‘experience’ and such, but this is definitely difficult. lol
Also, changing my split to a push/pull/legs split, that I will rotate over 5 days. I like to do the whole ‘heavy/lower rep/compound day’ and the ‘pump/higher rep/iso’ days, so if anyone has some suggestions and such, let me know![/quote]
Don’t get frustrated/dis-enchanted about “shrinking.” Think of it as chiseling the marble. You will shrink to a point and then “get bigger” as your shoulders, back, and other muscles start to stand out. Its kind of a find muck of an illusion and pretty cool. That’s what leaning out has taught me.
Also, losing weight is difficult. I think for first timers trying to get especially lean it takes longer than expected, but once you “teach” your body the process it happens easier subsequently (that and learning your body). Just my broscience for the morning. Good luck, keep it up![/quote]
Yep I agree with him.
For what it’s worth here are some other tips.
You will be in front of an audience, to some degree as entertainment, as such you need to prepare your mind in the coming weeks and burn these few thing into your memory.
a.) remember to take your “before show shit.”
b.) remember to breathe & don’t lock your knees
c.) Before you go on stage you have to look in the mirror and say your three S’s
Star, smile, strong.
d.) remember to have a ball, not everyone has two arms, two legs and your height. You are blessed. There may be better physique competitors in the country but there is only one YOU.
