More metabolic recovery success ... showing less is more

More metabolic recovery success ... showing less is more.

 The following is an email reply from a competitor client of mine who came from one of the 'gurus' of contest prep. After reviewing her most recent biweekly, where she's checked in at 138.5lbs (down from 160), I asked what she has competed at before and she said anywhere between 125 and 140. In her own words:

"I competed from around 125 to 140ish. 125 was about 6 shows in for the year, on continuous clen, and a way restricted diet. 140ish was when I was suffering some damage... read more 3 comments

More Back/Shoulder Specialization Results

A Little Tough Love for The Challenge Of Weekend Eating

Sound familar to you?

I honestly log my food and know how many calories I am eating during the week, the weekend I tend to slack. I may not eat enough some days and others days in the weekend I may eat too much. I am actually working on that, have been and am doing better, but if I am going to have a cheat I usually don't eat at much prior to my cheat meal.

2 days can erase 5!

I hope the message there is clear - weekends can kill your fat loss. And another important point... read more 3 comments
