Added 2023-11-19 14:40:11 +0000 UTCWeek one of prep, done! â ïļ X WEEKS OUT ðĪŠ Thought it would be fun to start the physique updates up again now that I'm prepping for my first show, just in case anyone is interested in the process ð Calories are currently 2335 on a training day and 2124 on a rest day and I'm FEELING the drop, my training day calories were roughly 3500 until last week so it's been an aggressive start but this is what my body responds well to and (hopefully) it'll make things easier down the line. My starting weight for prep was 78.6kg and this morning I weighed in at 75.6kg so I'm already down 3 kilos in a week (this will mainly be water weight but its so exciting to see the visual changes already!!) I'm still training my usual 5x per week (I follow a push pull legs upper lower split however it's been tweaked recently as I have injured my supscapularis tendon ðĨē but one of my favourite things about bodybuilding is that there's always a workaround!). Training is still feeling amazing right now, have been hitting PRs despite being in a deficit ð I'm currently on 5x 25 minute cardio sessions on the cross trainer as well, interval style to try and increase my fitness levels which I have a love-hate relationship with! but I'm hoping it'll move to the stairmaster soon ð I also have a step target of 10k steps per day!! I've also learned to pose without looking in the mirror and I'm really proud of how things are coming along so far, I will need to start working on a posing routine shortly as well which is terrifying but I'm sure I'll enjoy it too! I can't wait to keep chipping away and reveal the muscle I've been working so hard to build for these last 2 years ð
