The March weather in the DC/MD/NoVA (DMV) has been so nice this year! I was outside a lot! I think that's why I neglected my blog!
Mid March started my contest prep! Now, here I am in April, Week 10! Wow, how time flies!
I'm still training heavy. I'm trying to build as much muscle as I can before June. One of my weaknesses when I competed in the 2011 OCB Yorton Cup was the lack of the amount of muscle I carried compared to my competition. I was lean, no "junk in the trunk," but I looked stringy. (I placed 5th in Novice Tall, 6th in Masters 40+ & 6th Open Mid Tall)
My trainer, Kevin White, has designed my training program & food plans to gain muscle mass. I am seeing a difference in my physique as I lean out. That is very exciting!
I have been working on my posing, which was the other weakness in the 2011 show.
As a first time Figure competitor & former bodybuilding competitor, my posing was definitely confused. I reverted to holding certain poses like a bodybuilder & others just plain sucked! My trainer said I'm too hard on myself and I did great for my first time. I plan to do MUCH better this year!
That is a quick update & I will be posting more often as I get closer to June.
I have much more fitness oriented events planned after my June Figure competitions so stay tuned!
Well, today is Easter & my rest day so I'm off to walk the dogs in the beautiful spring sunshine ("Active Rest")
Train Hard, Eat Clean, Live Well
