I sent in all my paperwork with Amy today to get her working on my off-season diet. I had to tell her what I do and don't like as far as foods go (which I like most everything). I also had to give her a 3 day rundown of what I will typically eat. I gave her two week days and then a weekend day to show her what I would be doing good and when I'm cheating.
So I am super excited to find out how much stuff will change!
My prediction is that I have to start eating before and after I workout because I'm not really doing that right now. I also think that she is going to make me quit my "cheat day" and make it a "cheat meal". Big difference because I probably can't drink alcohol anymore. Oh well, I'm alright with it because I want to do whatever it takes to be in the contest.
Amy's flat rate for helping me in off-season is $400. She will get me an off-season plan and help me up to 8 months. I don't plan on having her help me that long. I want her to help me until May and then have her build me the actual competition diet.
A lot of people think of off-season as the easier part of training. But it really is not. See, when you start the competition diet, your main goal is to loose as much fat as you can. I want to get down to 10% body fat to compete. Well, your body is going to want to hold onto that fat, so it will likely shed some muscle in the process. Therefore, the ultimate goal in off-season is to build as much muscle as you possibly can! You need to get really buff because you aren't going to be able to build much more muscle in pre-contest phase. So the off-season diet is actually very very important.
So I'm super stoked. As soon as I hear what my plan is I will post about it. I'm sure it will be an interesting journey. I also have to take pictures every 2 weeks for Amy, so I will be posting progress pics much more often.
