Everything is still remaining pretty easy so far – smoothest start to a prep I’ve had. I’m 6kg down from my peak off season weight now with minimal output currently (cardio 30min 5x weekly, 10k steps). Food is still moderately high, so all is good!
Excited for things to get more exciting now. Kinda in the in between phase of not lean, not wham, not fat. But that’s prep. Take each week as it comes.
14 weeks to go until show number 1!
Final week of off season before we drop into the pre-prep phase…
We’ve made some slight adjustments to training this week in an attempt to manage recovery better. For me, recovery is something I have always found challenging – juggling a demanding job and a bodybuilding career. We tweaked training back to 4 days a week only a few months ago which has helped.
Training has been adapted specifically now to allow me to manage fatigue better. I’m the kind of person who needs to be told exactly what to do and I’ll do it – rather than being able to regulate this myself. Knowing when to pull back, for me, is hard – as I struggle to manage when to pulling back vs me being lazy.
The training block has been adapted so training volume and intensity is increased across the block. This is the first time ever I’ve been programmed to train with RIR which will be something totally new to me! But I’m excited to see how this helps with everything.
