Week
9 and I’m feeling fine! Ha-ha
But really, were now down to 9 weeks and things are on track.
I had a productive week of training! I had a mild strength increase,
for example, I did sets of 10 on the isolation hammer concentration
curls with 70 lb. Dumbbells.
My endurance was good considering I started my days a little
earlier. But I must say, the 1 hour nap I get mid-day is making
a huge difference. For cardio I am now up to 45 minutes on the
stepmill and incline treadmill (alternating). I am not increasing
my cardio at this point since I see my body making the necessary
changes with my diet and this cardio plan alone and feel that
if I had increased it to another evening session at this point,
I would be too far ahead of my timeline.
My body is coming in at a perfect pace. My weight stayed the
same, but I feel like my conditioning changed about 20% for
the better. I would like your feedback from the pics this week
on what you think. I am seeing more separation in my quads,
additional striations on my tri’s and chest, as well as
a much tighter glute/hammy tie in. (The best I’ve ever
seen this far out from any show and that is a GREAT thing)
My mental state is good. We are in the process of building our
new home and selling our current one—and that is actually
the greatest stress I have felt. I’m really happy where
everything is as far as the contest goes… that is the
easy part!
In closing, the best is yet to come! I will see you same time,
same place
next week!
Be sure to sign up on my forum to give me your feedback!: http://troyalves.proboards26.com
Take care and I will see you here next Saturday!
