OPERATION BIS & THIGHS! Time to Get Serious!


What could be a better time than the first weekend of a new month for starting out a new program?! Well, seems like the perfect time for me! My mission over the last few months has been to increase the size of my biceps…now this is whether I end up competing again or not. However, since I’m reeeeeally leaning towards competing next year-I think that I would need to cut up my thighs a bit more. So, that is my mission! Bigger Bis and Cut up thighs!

After perusing a few blogs lately, I saw SHELLEY’S recent post about her leg workout…..and so-I’m going to incorporate her massive reps into my leg workout….different exercises-but same concept. We’ll see how I go!

Naturally-I’m not doing a “figure comp” diet or workout program now….a full year away. But, it’ll be interesting to see what kinds of changes I can make with the bod-while doing some very different kinds of training and making some MINOR changes in my diet.
Like….decrease (not eliminate) the carbs….meaning the pasta mainly-since I really do eat allot of pasta! That would probably be about the biggest change…..maybe re-increasing the protein…during comp prep I actually consumed protein every 2-3 hours…..right now….I haven’t been getting anything in between my 8am and 12pm feed…so might add something there.

Join me-and see if these little changes make the difference I’m looking for!

you could always add protein and vegies to your pasta and decrease the amt of pasta you use that way! ;)
bet if and when you do compete again you'll be very pleased with all the hard work you've put in! xx
