Ya it’s an oxymoron, but if you know me you’ll know that it’s also the story of my life! :)
This saturday February 18th will be exactly 12 weeks out from the WBFF US Central, which means it’s also the day I start my 12 week comp prep program. I figure I might as well start it right so I’m taking a week off work to travel down to Kansas.
“What!? Why Kansas?”
Because that’s where my online trainer Micah Lacerte happens to live! He also happens to be a 2011 WBFF World Champion so he knows a thing or two about fitness.
I’m really thankful that he has agreed to spend some time helping me out, since he recently retired from personal training / competing and is crazy busy with leading his successful company (www.hitchfit.com), promoting the WBFF, appearing on tv, and helping people online like myself.
“Are you going to compete then?”
I’m still undecided. It will largely depend on what condition I am in closer to the event. I have never been down to 5% body fat before so I’m not sure what I’ll look like and most of the time you need to be leaner than that when you are competing in the mens fitness model category.
Usually guys will lean down to below 5%, see what they need to work on, then gain more muscle in those areas while also increasing body fat then leaning down again then continuing that cycle until they look like the guys you see in fitness magazines. Constantly going through bulking phases then cutting phases. Once you achieve the body you want then you are in maintenance mode. Can’t wait for that.
So all that said I will compete if I’m ready and wait if I’m not. However I will be doing everything I can to be ready and strictly following my custom plan.
You can follow all of it over the next 12 weeks here!
Live Healthy,
Jonathan
