Thankfully, I have a great coach for my journey to the stage. My friend Cassie has been competing in the world of body building for nearly a year now, and she has graciously offered to help me on my journey.
We met today and I must admit that I'm overwhelmed. We'll be doing a 12 week program that will start February 1.
Here is what I learned about the first 8 weeks of my training. Each day I will need to consume:
- 1,800 calories
- 180 grams of good carbohydrates
- 150 or more grams of protein
- 40 grams of healthy fats
- 6 meals
My training will be different than what I'm used to. I will be doing 4 week splits. I'll be doing the same exercises for 4 weeks and then switching it up. I'm accustomed to hitting the gym without a schedule or set list of exercises. That will all be changing. I need to record my workouts, progress and setbacks.
The 12 weeks will really be about monitoring my body. What I put in it and what I get out of it. Having a coach is going to be incredible!
