Soreness A’Coming…..

After this morning's chest & back workout I will be surprised if I am not feeling it tomorrow. It was a great workout! I added in a bit more chest and back work and removed the couple of arm exercises. I will do arms on a separate day now, since they aren't something I need to focus on as much anyways. Plus, there is the bonus of they naturally get worked with good back and chest moves anyways. I was even super energized and added in some plyometric drills in between sets. Yep, I am nuts! So here was today's madness - enjoy reading my pain!

Daily Prep Update – 60 Days Out

First off, I have to say WOW! Only 60 days?!?! And really, not even that, since that count included today. EEK! It's nerve wracking and super exciting at the same time. I am so pumped to give 100% and work very hard these last 8.5 weeks. I plan to kill those workouts, stick my macros (dieting numbers for those new to competition lingo) perfectly, and just make every single day the absolute best I can with full focus and determination. With that being said - here is an update of what I've been up to yesterday and today to accomplish those goals.


Yesterday's Workout - Legs & Shoulders
grouped exercises = supersets done one right after the other
sets x reps x weight listed for each set


bb squat - 15x95# / 10x115# / 3sets 8x125#
reverse db lunge (
weight/hand) - 12x25# / 2 sets 12x30# / 2sets 10x35#
overhead press (weight/hand) - 15x20# / 3 sets 8x25#

hacksquat (weight=total) - 4 sets 12x110#
bulgarian split squat (weight/hand) - 4 sets 10x25#
rear delt raise (weight/hand) - 3 sets 8x15#

bb plie squat - 15x70# / 12x90# / 2 sets 10x100#
lying hamstring curl - 12x50# / 8x60# / 2 sets 8x65#
front raise (weight/hand) - 3 sets 10x12.5#


Yesterday's Cardio - 60 min spin class


Yesterday's Macros (protein, fat, carbohydrate breakdown) -123g Carbs / 135g Protein / 37g Fat - ended up a little over in fat...oops! 


Today's Workout - Off Day besides some abs
Today's Cardio - 50 min Turbokick 
Today's Macros - 123 Carbs / 131 Protein / 31 Fat


So I have definitely been on my game the past couple of days and am ready to keep it going! My motivation probably won't always be so high, so be prepared to offer a helping hand throughout this process 😉
