Contest Prep Update

I have now officially been in show prep for several months and will be going into my second show of the season this weekend in Bellevue, Washington at one of the largest shows in the northwest, the Emerald Cup!
This is a show that I have dreamed about competing in for the last few years and I am excited to be on such a large stage with many different competitors.
Since competing in the Northern Colorado Axis Labs show, I have dropped almost 10 pounds and have gotten much leaner.  I have also made some adjustments to my posing that I think will help me bring out my strengths more.
I have been completing 60 min of fastened cardio 6 days a week along with intense volume weight training.  The kicker to this story is this last week I became ill and was not able to really do much of anything for about 4 days strait. Competition prep is brutal physically and mentally.  Yes I am excited to get on stage but man I am so excited for some sushi after words in down town Seattle!   Whatever motivates you right? ;-)
