The days are ticking by and it's getting close to just a month left to the big day 6th May - Battle of the Freaks 2! Side note Thank you Kit, for getting a shoutout for me by one of my idols Ms Bikini Olympia, @courtneykiing!!!
My back is a lot better, not playing up but not taking any risk too in doing lower body workout. Was told by my physio i can do some of my usual stuff but at half my normal weight (which is suuppppperr boring), barely broke a sweat, hence focused a lot on making sure my tempo and mind muscle connection were there. Best time to focus on the little details when injured.
Upper body i maintained the program but was told to do cardio everyday. i personally asked for it to so i don't waste time. After 4 days of consistent steady state cardio, i could see some significant changes, weight dropped, so did the body fat percentage base on the InBody analysis at Koa.
Got in more posing practice in this week and learnt how to do the quarter turns. Posing is a frigging workout on it's own, learning how to think about contracting the right muscles, especially making sure my trap goes down and getting my delts to pop. But glad overall i'm seeing good changes and my coach says so too.
I finally managed to do some legs on Friday! Instead of squats swapped it to split squats with hamstring curls, less pressure on my lower back.
Nutrition hasn't changed, sticking to the 50g of carbs and below. At the end of the video, i give an idea of what 50g of carbs looks like. For example in one day i would eat
4 rice cakes, 50g of blueberries, 50g of raspberries, 30 almonds and 1 tablespoon of chia seed. All that is equivalent to eating one bowl of cooked white rice or even 2 medium size bananas
Low carbs isn't so bad in my opinion. i've gotten used to it, and my body feels a lot better on this diet plan. However i need to be careful with my cheats. Learnt that I can't take a LOAD of dairy (had 2 scoops of gelato - BAD IDEA!), cause it bloats the heck out of me. This was after 2 ribs, 1 chicken thigh, french fries, rice and roti boy.. the gelato and the cheese bake tart undid me...sigh. Well at least i know from here.
Very productive week and what I need most of now is REST! The comp is coming soon!!
Congrats to my buddy Kam on winning in his division for powerlifting and it as usually cheatmeals are better with company. Nana we will begin our #cheatmealbucketlist! :P
