So here it goes.
I'm training for another bodybuilding ocmpetition. It's coming up on April 22nd (Earth Day) in Portland Oregon. How appropriate, a Vegan Bodybuilder gets on stage to defend his title from winning last year on Earth Day in the city that was voted the #1 Vegan-Friendly city in the United States!
That will boost the motivation a bit.
Recently I've been applying some tips from Daywalker, VeganEssentials, Jonathan and others as I prepare for this contest. I'm lifting heavier (heavy for me) and it feels pretty good.
I'm at work right now but today I'm training arms, and shoulders, maybe a little bit of abs too.
Lately some of my best lifts have been:
Flat bench = 245 pounds 4 reps
Decline bench = 250 pounds 4 reps
Leg Press = 740 pounds 4 reps
Lat Pull-Down = 200 pounds 8 reps
I don't have an exact program I'm following right now, nothing like it used to be. I used to have everything planned out to the minute. Lately I've been training on instinct, sometimes spending 2 hours in the gym, other times just an hour.
I'm just trying to prepare myself to compete and keep it pretty low stress since I have tons of other things going on.
Anyway, I'll try to keep an updated log here as I approach Earth Day!
