Fitness Progress Report #8: How To Achieve Your Fitness Goals

Only 3 days remaining until the WBFF Fitness Model Competition on June 23rd, 2012 in Vancouver.  I've been focused on peaking this last week with my coach, lowering my sodium levels and manipulating the water in my body.  I'm very excited, because I'm so close to achieving my goal and commitment that I set out back in February in my Journey To The WBFF Fitness Model Competition video blog.

Before I get into my pictures and measurements, I want to share with you a video that I recorded last night about the entire experience of transforming your body.  I entitled it "How To Achieve Your Fitness Goals", as it shares the mentality I've had over the last few months and what it really takes to make a change.  There's some gold nuggets of inspiration in it and hopefully it inspires you to step up and raise your standards.… [Read more...] about Fitness Progress Report #8: How To Achieve Your Fitness Goals

Fitness Progress Report #7: 17 Days Remaining Until WBFF

Only 17 days remaining until the WBFF competition on June 23, 2012 in Vancouver, BC!  I've been very consistent these last two weeks, since my last Fitness Progress Report, and things are coming along well.  I've been lowering carb intake slowly, as instructed by my coach, and have been starting to tighten up a bit more.  It's a very fine line between getting really lean, without losing much of my size.  But I've noticed these last two weeks that I've gotten smaller after taking my measurements.

I recently just bought my speedo swim trunks for my competition and have been starting to practice posing a bit more.  It's an area I don't know much about, but am just trying to practice and learn as much as I can from watching videos on YouTube.  I've also begun visualizing myself competing more and more, to give myself that sense of certainty and comfort.  There's a book that I picked up called Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz that I was recommended by a friend who competed before, which I'll be reading over the next two weeks.… [Read more...] about Fitness Progress Report #7: 17 Days Remaining Until WBFF

Fitness Progress Report #6: 4 Weeks To WBFF Competition

There's 4 weeks to go until the WBFF Fitness Modelling Competition on June 23, 2012 in Vancouver. Since my last Fitness Progress Report two weeks ago, I've begun leaning out and my body has slowly been tightening up. As you'll be able to see from the pictures below, the outlines of my abs are beginning to be revealed.  We've only made some slight adjustments to lowering my fat intake by 10 grams for the last two weeks, and it's amazing how such a little change can make a noticeable difference.

To be honest, I'm a bit nervous and concerned about having my abs being defined enough for the competition in only 4 weeks. I've asked my coach about this and he's assured me that over the next 4 weeks they will be there. The uncertainty that I have comes from never having done this before or knowing exactly how things are supposed to go, but all I can really do is trust the process of my coach, as he's an expert on this and has helped hundreds of people achieve the result that I want.… [Read more...] about Fitness Progress Report #6: 4 Weeks To WBFF Competition

Fitness Progress Report #5: Beginning Fat-Loss Phase

I'm 6 weeks away from the WBFF Fitness Modelling Competition on June 23rd, 2012 and my coach has just this last week instructed me to start lowing my daily calories to commence my fat-loss phase. After my last Fitness Progress Report two weeks ago, I was weighing in around 152.9 lbs. The highest my weight has peaked was around 155 lbs last week, and now it's slowly starting to come down around 154 lbs. My goal for the competition is to be around 147-148 lbs and 4-5% body fat.

Since my very first Fitness Progress Report on February 18 to May 1, 2012, I've been focused on gaining muscle and adding a little bit more size, while keeping body fat very minimal. During that time (2.5 months), it looks like I've gained about 6-7 lbs. I was 148 lbs on February 18 and on May 1 I'm about 155 lbs. … [Read more...] about Fitness Progress Report #5: Beginning Fat-Loss Phase

Fitness Progress Report #4: Final Stages Of Mass Gain Before Leaning Out

I'm about two months out from the WBFF Fitness Modelling Competition on June 23rd in Vancouver and it's time to post another Fitness Progress Report, to see how I'm progressing towards that goal.

My last Fitness Progress Report was about two weeks ago and I put up some comparison pictures of roughly two months of progress. I was amazed to see how much bigger I had gotten in that time, which is what's great about doing these Fitness Progress Reports regularly. Sometimes you don't feel like you're making progress towards your goal, but if you're tracking consistently, you are then able to look back and notice the changes.… [Read more...] about Fitness Progress Report #4: Final Stages Of Mass Gain Before Leaning Out
