Verse of the day: Phil. 2:2 Message, "Put yourself aside and help others get ahead."
After 19 weeks of hard diet and contest prep, it is all finished. I stood on stage in close to, if not, the best shape I've attained thus far. I put a ton of effort into weighing as light as possible, in order to make the light weight class. I weighed in at an even 165 lb. Unfortunately, they set the class at 163 lb. up to 183 lb! I was the little fish. But, I still managed to pull off a 3rd place finish to last year's overall winner, Shevon Cunningham in 2nd and an awesome and crazy dried out Cleveland Thomas, who took the overall and won the Yorton Cup a few years back. I can't really complain with that. It was some stiff competition.
I'm now in the great recovery phase post-contest. The workouts this week will be pretty chill, and I'll slowly increase over the next few weeks. In the mean time, I am putting together a game plan for the next contest, so stay tuned....
Here's what today's chill leg workout looked like:
squat: 45-15; 95-15; 135-15; 225-15
super-set with leg press: 90-25; 180-25; 270-25; 360-25
reverse lunge: 95-12
leg curl: 95-15; 125-12; 155-10
super-set with calf press: 180-20; 360-20; 450-20
crunches + 20 minutes cardio
