The Leg Experiment: Part Deux

WAY back in September of 2012, I did a blog post called "OH MY QUAD: The Leg Experiment" on shrinking down my quads to match my upper body (judges always look for proportionality).  With many months of early morning runs, afternoon runs and evening one's too,  I am so happy to say that it is working.

New Game Plan: 

• Continue to keep running on my list.  Don't mess with a good thing.  Even though I just HATE running, I still gotta tie up my laces and GO GO GO!  Twice a day (if my knees will allow me to).
• Continue with leg day twice in a week but more of a concentration on glutes.
• Protein deficient - Yes, I miss my protein but it has to be done.  More veggies and healthy fats for energy.
• No BCAA's (or until my coach says so) - This plain ol' sucks.  I love my BCAA's. 

I do have to point out that my derrière is developing nicely.  NO sneak peaks (sorry guys).  I am saving my glutes debut for my next photo-shoot/2013 Nationals.  Hard work truly pays off.  In the past, I have been scrutinized about my behind, so TAKE THAT JERKS!  

So there you have it.  My to-do list for the next 5 months.  I know there will be trying times ahead of me, but it will be so worth it in the end.

Baby steps...baby steps.  

To Workout or Not to Workout....

This morning I had trained my #TeamSexy girl Marlyn (who did just AMAZING this AM).  I have to say my friend, you are getting stronger both mentally and physically each time we meet for our sessions.  Keep up the great work as you are well on your way to achieving those goals.

I pushed out my own workout in the morning that went something like this:

Be prepared for your shoulders to be in PAIN!  Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Now, my shoulder day is usually comprised of a LOT of super-setting because for me...one of my goals is to really bring up my shoulders for the upcoming year.

Going back to the reason for the title of this blog post.  While updating my social media sites, I always get sucked into anything fitness related.  This usually makes me want to workout LOL.  I am now getting a urge to do another session this evening.  

Another one of my main areas of concern for the upcoming competition season are my glutes.  If I want them glutes like Nathalia Melo (see image below), I have to literally bust my ass to get them.  My legs are pretty "fresh" from my last leg day last week.  As of now, I think they are ready for another go.

Nathalia Melo's SOLID GLUTES!

I have all this evening to considering pushing out another workout.  I have two #TeamSexy personal training clients to see this evening and then I will decide.

Like I always tell my girls:

"It's a matter of how bad you want it.  You need to do everything possible to get there.  You have to make the sacrifice, the time, and energy to get to those goals.  You are accountable at the end of the day."

Now to figure out what to do.....hmmm......I think I just might.

Stay tuned!!!
