My roadmap to taking the stage again has been drawn and a plan has been set into motion. This plan will have me on stage in a position to actually be competitive. I am going to do whatever it takes to get there. My roadmap is outlined below.
Nutrition Roadmap
I am currently running a rather low carb nutrition program. My basic meal plan is as follows:
Meal 1 – Protein shake with egg whites, fruit and coconut oil
Meal 2 – 2 eggs
Meal 3 – Protein and veggies
Meal 4 – Protein and veggies
Meal 5 – Protein and starchy carbs
Meal 6 – Starchy carbs
I am going to continue to run this for a bit as it is working, but eventually I am going to inject 2 high carb days a week and cycle my carbs – 5 low/2 high. This roadmap will get me into a much leaner state.
Training Roadmap
This one is only clear to an extent. I am going to listen to my body, but right now I am training 6 days a week with weights. Recovery could very well become an issue and I am going to have to respond to that accordingly. I already have a different split worked out just in case. The key to having success with these things is to plan ahead.
Posing Roadmap
I am currently looking for a posing coach, but I know that posing is going to be the key to me doing well. I can bring the body but if I don't know how to properly show it off I am doomed. I am currently going to search through YouTube for videos, but I really need an in person coach. I am going to be searching for someone in the near future to help me out in this area.
Mindset Roadmap
I've been listening to podcasts from various sources and the Mindset of a Champion Teleseminar from Skip LaCour for mental motivation. I get some good tips and ideas that I wouldn't think of.
Coaching Roadmap
I have a coach I am using for training and nutrition and a friend who is holding me accountable. With those two at my side I know this is going to happen.
