Day #3 of contest prep

So far all is going well. I'm hitting my macro targets for the most part. If anything I'm coming in under because I'm being overly cautious. My coach has given me a pretty flexible diet as far as what I can eat, and you'd think that is a blessing. However, when you have to do the math with all of the nutrient timing-when you're eating what percentage of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats-it gets tricky. It changes day to day depending on when I'm working out AND there are 2 carb up days so the totals change on those days. These first few weeks will be experimental and my guess is I'll find something that works and stick with it to save time which saves sanity.

The really difficult part is getting all of the supplements down. Burping up vitamins gets old.

Monday I did Power Upper Body workout, today I did Power Lower Body.
Upper Body was:
Rack Chins
Seat Cable Row
Flat DB Press
Cable Chest Fly
DB Military Press
Single arm DB side lateral
Straight bar biceps curl
Rope pulldowns
Running Intervals 25 min.

Lower:
Squats
Let extension
Stiffy
Standing calf raise
Seated Calf raise
Low intensity Cardio 20 min.

The workout I was given was scaled back from the intensity that I'm used to. I realize that I may have to adjust to that. I like lifting heavy and how quickly I can gain strength and put on muscle so I have a bit of a mental block about backing off even though I know it might be necessary to mold my body into a "figure body".

All in All: I feel awesome and I'm SO motivated!
