Author Topic: New Year's resolutions. Serious thread. (Read 9972 times)

I look forward to following your progress as you prep and hopefully see the end result. I haven't travelled since I went to Zurich in 2010 so my plans are to first go to the Aussie Pro show in march in Melbourne and then I would like to go overseas sometime during the year.

If I do the show, I will post pics of the show, not the prep itself. That's too much distraction and only the shape of that day matters.

I love Swiss/Zurich, too bad it's also one of the most expensive places of Europe. If I were living in Australia, then I would choose a cold country, like Canada or somewhere in Scandinavia.

Based on the quality I saw on stage, I'm pretty sure I can make the top-3.

Gotta watch that. I've seen a few shows like that, where more than a few got the idea to clean house in their respective classes the following year. The previously weak classes were loaded. So don't use any excuses during your prep.
Personally, I think prepping for a show a year out is a great idea. Even if you don't do the show, you will most likely make the most gains during that time.

My resolutions are first world....

I am training and watching my diet for the next 6 months, as if I was initially prepping for a show. I've been training, but my diet and training
consistency could be better.

My career demands a lot of time. I would like to spend more time with
friends and loved ones, even if it means making a phone call or having a nice bbq and relaxing.

Find more time to cook at home instead of eating out.

It was my first reaction when I saw the line up, but you're right, there are so many factors so I better be more than ready.

The general strategy of those prep guys (they work as a team) is as follows: starting in Jan, bring body fat between 10-12% (already there!), bring up weak points, update diet every 4 weeks and 3 months prior to the show (in Dec) the actual prep with 1-2 weekly meetings.
