TNT (Trish (Wood)- n- training): The Offseason

Ok, I'm putting it out there: current weight- 112 lbs.

Off- season is a tricky time for most competitors. For many it's a time to eat whatever they want and put on the "fluffy coat" until next season when you try and strip it all off again.

T-N-T (Trish (Wood) n Training) Journal: Finding MY (inner) Strength!

Who would of thought that putting on the off-season pounds would be so challenging? Of course physically putting on weight isn't hard, but the mental side of it has been my biggest challenge in a long, long time.

T-N-T(Trish Wood n Training) Journal 7 -It’s All A Balancing Act!

We all have good days and bad days. This growth season has had its share of both for me. I've experienced really bad times where I just want to sit alone crying and then I've had those days where I feel like myself again. Part of me thinks that it's hormones, but part of it is also the turmoil some competitors feel when they've finished their season. I tried to explain these feelings to my husband with little success. I explained to him that I was feeling a bit lost right now and that I wasn't sure how to live a "normal life."

Change Does A Body (and mind) Good!

So the last time I wrote this blog I was in a tough place, one that I haven't ever really been in before. I was feeling a little lost and beating myself up almost every day.

Great article and glad things are feeling more "in place" and moving in the right direction! Seems we all tend to go through this - part of the territory or personality trait as a competitor? Dunno - but, it's good to read and have someone share experiences and thoughts you can completely relate too!! Best of luck to you! Will be following along!!!

Trish Wood In Training (T-N-T) Blog #9: When Competition Training Goes Wrong

I'm writing my blog this week not only as a bodybuilder, but as a coach. Normally I enjoy writing about my personal experiences as a competitor in training, but this week I felt compelled to talk about the struggles a competitor faces and my perspective as coach/trainer. I know first-hand the obstacles and the emotions that one faces during competition prep and that they are often just brushed under the rug- never to be delt with...

Trish In Training (T-N-T) Blog # 9:Tired Much?

I've always considered myself a very optimistic and determined person. Anytime someone has told me I couldn't do something, I jumped into it headfirst.

Trish Wood In Training(T-N-T) Blog #11: Who’s Elmer Fudd?

Despite my AFS, I've still been weightlifting 4-5 days per week. I focus on lifting heavy, but if I don't feel well or am just too tired, I now opt to take a nap instead.

Trish Wood In Training: T-N-T Blog #10

Bring the Pain!

I'm standing in front of the gym mirror, my back and shoulders are throbbing from the workout I just put them through. The burn is so intense that all I can do is stand still for a few minutes until it subsides. It's a familiar pain that I've missed and all I can think is that "I'm back!"
