Team Flexr6 Comp Prep Report 21/13 01 Sept 2013
14 days out – INBA Lifestyle Classic
21 days out – INBA ACT
28 days out – INBA NSW
With only 2 weeks to go I have had some amazing results over the last week (see data below). The waist is came down as expected by 1cm this week, hips are down 1cm and all other muscle groups have held their size – except for calves which dropped 0.5cm this week. I will have to train them extra hard and feed them properly to return to their previous size.
Weight 75.1 (-1.2)
Waist 78 (-1.0)
Arms 41 (0)
Calf 36.5 (0)
Chest 116.5 (0)
Hip 81 (-1.0)
Thigh 52 (0)
All other bodyparts have held their size. I attribute this to four key factors:
1. Correct supplementation with Bioflex Nutrition. Jointz, Biocharge, Recover X, Alcar Pro, Ripped and Biofurnace are positively influencing my weight loss and muscle maintenance!
2. Training heavy with compound movements has kept my muscle mass intact. This is evident through the increase in poundages/reps on every bodypart every workout and the maintenance of size for most bodyparts.
3. Team Flexr6 now has nine competitors prepping for the 2014 INBA comp season. This has inspired me to lead by example and I am determined to come in sharp in 2 weeks time.
4. Nutrition has tightened up again significantly this week. I have encountered only two low blood sugar moments this week but addressed these quickly so the were not too severe. Example diet day below:
25g | Oats/psyllium husk (1 tsp) | |
60g | Berries (in shake) | |
4 | Rice thins | |
125g | Cherry tomato | |
100g | Roo mince, capsicum, chilli | |
125g | Strawberries | |
100g | Roo mince, capsicum, chilli | |
60g | Strawberries | |
100g | Roo mince, capsicum, chilli | |
125g | Cherry tomato | |
60g | Berries (in shake) |
This day totalled 622 calories in food. I also added 530 calories via the Bioflex supplement program listed below:
4 x 30g Biofurnace
2 x 20g Biocharge
4 x 1 Ripped
2 x 3g Creaflex ATP
2 x 3g Glutaflex
2 x 1 Alpha
2 x 1 Sports Vim
2 x 1 Fish Oil
2 x 10g Alcar Pro
1 x 5g Jointz
Even though these calories were very low they were precisely timed and allowed me to train twice on that day with increases in weight/reps on most exercises.
