Hey everyone! My name is Veronica, and I am currently six weeks out from my first show this season, the Michigan Championships! Progress so far....my weight is up 10lbs, and I am almost as lean as I was 1 week out from the 2012 Central States back in August where I placed second. More to come....gotta hit the sheets to train hamstrings, triceps, forearms, and biceps tomorrow

Thanks for visiting and feedback is appreciated

I look forward to hearing more from you Veronica. It looks like you have a great start
for sure and i think that you should do very well indeed. There is great people here on this
forum to help you along your journey should you need anything let me know. What type of
supplements are you taking?

[mooreve2]

Thank you! Right now in my post workout shakes, BCAA, Glutamine, 100% iso whey protein, and Oat muscle. Then in my evening shake, right before I do cardio, it's just BCAA, Glutamine, and 100% iso whey protein. Typical multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D, and some caffeine in the mornings.

Do you work with someone or do your own contest prep?

[mooreve2]

I do my weight training in the mornings before work by myself, and then at night a few times a week my boyfriend and I head in together to do cardio. We are both competing in the same show this year, much better than last because I started to diet just as he finished his show, it wasn't fun that way much better now that we are dieting together

[mooreve2]

Just finished cardio for the day up to 1000 calories this week and my goal is to reach 1300 calories by Friday night. Low carb days this week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Had an excellent tricep workout today:

2 sets close grip smith bench for 8 reps
superset: 15 dips with 25 cable kickbacks (4 sets)

Tomorrow's training looks like traps, lower back, and shoulders. Another day of dedication and focus has come to an end.....now time for bed

[mooreve2]

Reached my goal of 1300 calories of cardio! Measurements to be taken on Saturday. Today's workout was great, Hip flexors, calves, and upper back. Blasted that upper back with this:

3 x 7 reps 70lb seated row
6 x 12 reps 40lbs close grip pull downs
2 x 20 reps 30lbs wide grip pull downs

Haha even made cupcakes tonight for work, and didn't even cheat on my diet! Stayed strong! Very strong!

Currently closing in on 5 weeks out and results are looking great! Tomorrow's training is forearms, hamstrings, shoulders, and chest.

[mooreve2]

Great shoulder workout today! Increasing the volume, bumping reps from 12 to 15 and from 20 to 25. Today was a low carb day feeling pretty tired

Gotta get ready and prepped for my Saturday Quad Workout! Usually do 3 super sets with 30 sec rest in between sets, but gotta change it up a bit! Keep ya posted tomorrow, and maybe a progress pic.....stay tuned

[mooreve2]

Getting ready to train upper back, lower back, chest, and shoulders this morning. Half way done with cardio for the week, completed 800 calories out of 1600. Kept the diet the same, just bumping the cardio. So excited, today is a regular carb day!!!

[mooreve2]

Taking the night off from cardio, letting my knees rest up to finish my weekly goal tomorrow night. Average weight is down 0.8lbs, and my legs are really coming in nicely! Training triceps, abs, hamstrings, and my favorite....traps tomorrow! Can't wait to see the measurements Saturday!

Do you do your own workouts or does someone do them for you?
