So I am back from a long weekend and ready for the first of what I call a “Push Week”. The last week of each phase before the recovery week is the last chance to push yourself and get ready for your photos. By now we have done the workouts twice. We know what is coming, we know what we did last week, we know how hard to push ourselves, NO EXCUSES! You know you can do it, so bring it!
The same goes for the diet. Your results start in the kitchen. Have you cheated a little? I did. 1 beer last weekend & maybe over indulged at our dinner party. But now it’s time to get back on track time to push for results. If you are thinking, “ I am working out hard so the diet doesn’t matter.” You are wrong! Again, your results start in the kitchen! Picture day is coming! If you want to see results, if you want to see noticeable changes in your body get back on track. The way I see it, we are all sprinting towards our first goal.
Yesterday was Chest and Back and although I didn’t do as many pushups and pull-ups as I had hoped, I concentrated on my form. When I did pushups I maxed out my reps every time and when it got tough I went to my knees. I still did 25-30 “regular”reps, but added about 10 more from my knees with good form. This was my way of pushing myself.
Plyometrics tonight, (sigh) the toughest of them all. But my motivation is knowing that next week I will not have to do it. So I will do my best to do every jump and every squat with Tony and the gang.
Good luck everyone! Push yourself! Trust me when picture day comes you will be happy you did!

I can't agree more. The workouts make me feel like I'm doing something for my muscles, flexibility, and overall strength, but the meal plan is where the bang is on the fat loss and energy for the workouts. I'm with you on plyo...it sucks and I actually dread that day, but once I finish the workout I feel better and feel good that "I brought it" since my legs always feel like rubber.
