Questions to ask Personal Trainer for 1st BB comp?
Greeting Everyone,
I drank the kool aid and decided to move from gym rat to true blue bodybuilder. As in, actually taking part in my first competition. I have 10 weeks to prepare. I have a meeting later today with a personal trainer who has a rather impressive personal BB record and from a few of the BBs I know, an excellent reputation.
With that said, I've listed a number of questions I plan on posing towards him. Would appreciate anyone who has done this or thought of doing it, to peruse them and provide input/additions.
Also, anyone that has taken the plunge and competited or plans too, I'd love to hook up with you and have you as a resource. Pls PM me.
Besides the questions, I'm also taking in 90 days of data pulled off the myfitnesspal reports regarding weight/cal/MACROs.
Here are my questions I was thinking of asking him:
What body parts do I need to focus on?
What is my glide pattern for hitting 4%BF on Aug 30?
Could I actually get a body fat measurement?
What should my MACROS be?
Protein
Carbs
Fats
Sodium
Sugar
How often should I be eating?
How much cardio?
What body splits to do?
Reps/Sets Range?
What are the different division/federations I can go into?
It appears I'd qualify for 3 of them: Novice, Masters and either Class 3 or Class 2. I think I'm right at 5'8 (1.72M)
Best way to learn Posing?
How far in advance do I need to get posing down?
What resources I can use to prepare? CDs, books, people?
How to get routine choreographed?
Tanning/oils?
When to shave, what to shave?
Where to buy posing suit?
I'm currently on a 3 day on, 1 day off split routine. Day 1: Back/Arms/Abs Day 2: Legs/including calves Day 3: Chest/Shoulders, Abs.
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully provide input.
TC
