Super excited!!!!!!

OMG guys... So the gym has decided to enter me into their bodybuilding competition next year for the fitness category!

My weight lifting program has been changed again. I'm still exercising with the group, but because my goals are different the group's program will be modified as we go along.

All weight lifting done will be at a higher intensity than theirs, mine will be kept to 8-6 reps. And I'll be doing less cardio than the rest of the group too, but the instructor will be guiding me.

I've also been advised to supplement with creatine in addition to my protein shake, and to eat at maintenance.

I'm so super excited! It's like my life has been given purpose!!! (...it's kind of sad when you think of it like that...Lol)

:mrgreen:
