    Sarahstrong....4 weeks out from first show of the year...

    I am new to the forum and am going to try to share my last 4 weeks of prep for show number one. The goal is to qualify for the nationals in November. I never look at any show regional or national any different. to me anytime i get on stage is super important to me..

    I took 12 months off this past year longest off season EVER in past 11-12 years of competing. I went to lightweight last year to see how competitive I would be tend to be a small middleweight.. Almost killed me in the second show and altho the challenge of makong the weight was well just that a challenge and aweosme. I am def not a lightweight. SO after recovering here we are again..



    So last week at 5 weeks out trainers said i looke 6 and 1/2 weeks.. wt*? we started a depletion and in a week made great gains... sometimes the ole body just doesnt want to respond, ugh!! now im looking dry(er) and vascular, sheesh scared me ... not being in perfect condition or gettong on that stage is not an option.

    today was a light day cardio only and YAY for me some oatmeal. gotta love it.. now it is time for feet up and watching some nip/tuck

    long post promise they wont all be that way..

    Happy Monday Iron Den.. Leg day today mmmmm my favorite. No loss in strength yet still able to press 900lbs for 12 and on and on. Someitmes i amaze myself with the fact I can go forever even with the diet so tough. As usual a lovely intense workout and my reward is no work today because of the holiday. For the rest of the day i will relax, pose more cardio and ummm relax some more. How awesome it would be to just prep for a show and not have to work for a living.. ok ok just fantasizing a bit. I hope everyone has a superb day!! SJA if you are on today YOU ROCK!!
