Let's give this journal thing a try. I have no plans to compete again in physique competitions but I have entertained the idea of giving PL a try. Right now, as of today, I am on a week (maybe longer) break from the gym. I consider this like a recovery week for myself. I will typically give myself a week break every 10-12 weeks. Gives my CNS a break, my joints a break, resets my mindset and gather some new motivation for when I hit the gym again. This recovery week doesn't mean I slack on my nutrition. I still eat clean and usually get in 6 meals a day (including shakes).
My current stats are 5' 2", 113.8 lbs (i just weighed myself) so I have lost a pound or so since Wed., which isn't uncommon for me. I'm a hardgainer and have to work hard at keeping my gains.
A little about myself. I've been training for a very long time. Since the dinosaur ages. haha I've competed in physique competitions (NPC). I have 2 folds to my career. I competed back in the early 90s. Then I retired and seriously did not think I would ever compete again. In 2000 I started to judge NPC shows and shortly after because Chief Judge for my state. I judged for a good solid 15 years. In 2006, I came out of retirement and started to compete again. I went back and forth between Figure and Bodybuilding, trying to find a place where my body fit. I won every local show I competed in whether it was Figure or Bodybuilding but at the national level was always told I was too muscular, too grainy, too hard, too lean for figure and great conditioning but need to add size for bodybuilding. Then in 2011, Women's Physique was created and that year WP was only offered at the National level and I competed in 3 shows. First show I did not place (trying to find what the ideal look was since this was the first ever WP show-DLB won this show. I was told I was too hard and grainy), second show came in tad softer and placed top 5 and third show tiny bit softer and won my Pro card. I competed several shows as a Pro and then life kind of got in the way. Its been 4.5 years since I last competed and I think, no I know, I am done. Right now I just train and eat clean since this is a lifestyle for me. People always ask me, "when is your show?" I love staying in shape all year around. I do set small goals for myself in the gym always challenging myself to hit some cool numbers. Thats just for me to stay motivated.
I love attacking different kind of training methods. I've done DC training for many years. I did FST-7 for many years as well. And other programs here and there. My training now kind of goes in waves. I will do heavy 6-8 reps for a few weeks. Then go back down to higher reps sometimes striving for 15-20 reps. I love training high volume. Before I took my break I was doing the higher reps. I think I will start this journal with my last week of training just to have some numbers down to start. When I get back into the gym next week, I will resume training higher reps for a week or so then move into BeastMode (within limits-also try to train smart).
My current split is:
Legs
Back
Glutes/Biceps
Delts/Triceps
I throw Abs and Calves at the end whenever I have time. I do not train chest directly anymore. Its been about 9 years but chest was my strongest body part.
