Competition Prep - 9 weeks out

I am 9 weeks out from the Heartland Classic. Got comfirmation that the promoter received my entry form earlier this week. Workout and diet seems to be going along just fine. Cardio on the other hand hasn't be lagging behind. Starting tomorrow and going forward I will be getting in all my cardio sessions. Cardio sessions are 4 HIIT & 1 SS. I did gain about 1/2 pound from last week to this week. Hoping to get that number back down.

On Saturday, I attended a posing workshop in Urbandale. I learned a lot of things regarding posing, but the most important thing I took away was presentation. Judges look for how well you present yourself when you are on stage. Got a chance to pose and get some feedback from a head judge that does many shows each spring & summer. Good to see what they are looking for when competitors are on stage. Looking forward to continuing to improve on my posing and hope to be as close to perfect as I can on May 30th.

Tomorrow, I am going to have Ryan train me tomorrow. Tomorrow's training is upper body strength. Hoping to get a feel for the intensity so I can bring that back to my other workouts. Also, looking for some feedback on how I look. What areas I need to improve and what looks good.

I will try to post some more updates throughout the week. I will be posting a video of myself posing. This will give me a chance to see areas for improvement.

Weight = 184.2 as of 3/26
