I decided to compete in the Saxon Classic the early part of December. My main aim for this show is to come in great condition with an extra 4 or 5 lbs of muscle compared to year's competitions. I think the added muscle will add to my symmetry and balance.
I'm taking a slightly different approach, in that I believe I did far too much cardio last year wasting valuable muscle in the process; I'm currently adopting low intensity cardio for 30 minutes am fasted and pm post-workout.
Although I currently don't feel I'm more muscular than last year, I'm most definitely stronger - the extra muscle will come to light as body fat levels drop further.
All I can say for now is that my aim is to win the over 50s at the Saxon Classic which will then qualify me for the IBFA British Championships in June - although I will be in the over 55s category by then where I think my real strength lies.
I'll keep you posted. Thank you for all your support.
