Last Day Of Pepsi Max :P

So my first competition is just 6 days away!  Its pretty nerve-racking thinking about getting up on stage and having your body judged...but I’m really excited, and even if I don’t place I’ll still be incredibly happy for just getting up there and knowing that I did my best with my training and nutrition :)

I think I’m mostly worried about wearing my 5 inch heels....those things are not easy to walk in!!  And assing over on stage would not be a good look..... :P

I have to start my carb depleting diet tomorrow, so I’m not allowed carbs at lunch or dinner anymore or ANY salt at all, so my meals for the next week might be abit bland tasting.  I’ve also been told I’m not allowed my protein bar in the evening and have to give Pepsi max the cut, noooooooo!!  I have a feeling that I’ll be pretty hungry next week!  Ah well....it’s only for 7 days and it will be worth it :P

I’m having an extra meal today as a little cheat before I have to start the carb depleting tomorrow, me and Jake have had some protein treats to sample – Protein chips and Protein pudding.  Oh my god, I honestly can’t believe this stuff is good for you, it tastes amazing!  We might be stocking these at Flex soon so if you’re interested in ordering some, express your interest with Jake :)

I trained legs yesterday and my glutes and hamstrings are so sore today!  I really want to tighten my glutes (in other words get a better looking butt haha), this exercise (in pic) is awesome for doing that. 

I trained shoulders this morning (my favourite!) which was fun, I tried to do a few different exercises this morning as I think my body is getting to use to doing the same thing so tried to mix it up, I did:

Machine press - 3 sets of 10

Seated shoulder press - 4 sets 12

Standing single alternating push press - 3 sets of 12

Barbell clean and press - 3 sets of 8

Upright row superset with plate press - 3 sets of 10

If anyone is interested in training for a competition, I would definitely encourage you to try it out :) 2 years ago I would have never thought that I would ever get up on stage in a bikini, but if you love going to the gym and working out then why not train to compete?  There’s a few guys and girls at Flex already training to do competitions this year, if anyone else is interested please come and talk to me or Jake about it!   

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing Sunday!
