Okay, this week will be 12 weeks out form my first ever bodybuilding show. I am really excited and nervous at the same time. The show is June 26, NABBA Natural Empire State bodybuilding championships. I will enter the novice catergorie and maybe do the whole crossover thing into the normal open catergorie, haven't decided. The show has three classes and I will be in the short class (under 5'7") as I stand 5'5". As many who folled my last journal this year know I was bouncing around at 200lbs over the winter months trying to put on size. I started dieting and getting ready a little over a month ago and right now I am about 186lbs at 10% bf. I have a freind that has competed before and is kind of coaching me. I say kind of because he is really busy and has some personal matters that he needs to take care of so he is not around 100% of the time. Which is fine becuase I really enjoy doing things on my own and working hard for myself as I take pride in my strong work ethic. I will appreciate any feedback from some of he competition veterans as well as any comments or suggestions from the general public. I have dieted down many times in the past to low bf levels (5% being my lowest) just for shits and giggles but I have never dieted down with a certain time frame in mind so this should be interesting. LOL. Whatever the outcome I don't care. I am not in this to win, all though it would be nice. I am simply doing this to say that I did it as bodybuilding has been something that I have been interested in for a long time.
Okay, enough rambaling here is my diet:

1/2c brown rice
1T flax

My carb up days are on sunday and wedensday (which both happen to be non-training days). I will be eating either pasta or oatmeal on those days.
training split:
mon- chest/abs (core)
tues- quads/calves/forearms
wed- off
thurs- back/abs
fri- delts/traps/abs (core)
sat- hamstrings/arms
sun- off
I am going to do HIIT cardio 2x's per week right now, 20min. a pop. I will try to do it in the AM on an empty tank every mon and friday depending on how early I have clients and if my schedule will allow it. If not it will be performed after my workout.
Okay....here we go
