@Noah Wixx good is great but cardio why so muchSaturday July 27 2024
@ugfreak
I wanted to start out with a few coaching updates for everyone.
One we are keeping the fats higher. I feel overall better since doing so, recovery wise and body wise less aches & pains etc.
Gearhead wants me to cut down from 45 minutes of cardio into 30 minutes a session, still doing cardio 4-5 times a week. ( limit burn out possibilities)
he is prepping me in advance as he wants me to complete a recomp as our next target goal on the list of things to accomplish
Main foucs right now is dropping 20-26lbs cut down and onto the recomp phase.
I check in with him daily multiple times a day, I like he keeps me fully accountable everyday and makes sure I handle my end.
He really cares about my happiness, my health and my well-being. It is why I give him my very best and go all out to my limit for him and myself.
Having the right fit with a coach is an eye opening experience and puts so many things into perspective, absolute game changing experience, as I've never had a coach before, it was me solo for a long time. I am absolutely blessed and thankful for this opportunity working with him.
Diet overall has been going great I have been fully sticking with the diet, the plan and the foods.
Enjoy the update everyone!

I am happy I can now report after my deload week I am back on the grind and switched from planet fitness into a real old-school bodybuilding and strength gym.
Everything is now falling into place. I have my deit nailed down, routine nailed down and a new gym to help ensure the best position for my success.
I can just feel a shift in my drive and my energy along with my mindset just being around other amateur body builders who are trying to compete and make it like I am, has 1000% lit a fire underneath me.
I am beyond happy and feel comfortable already in the new gym, I feel the progress and growth I can now make is limitless.
Also helps one co owner is a former nationals open classic class competitor and the other owner is a pro power lifter.
