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

A few months back I posted the before-and-after pictures of a client of mine who went through a back and shoulders specialization program. You can take a look at those results here.

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.
