I'm not really gonna start a training journal, but I figured I would go ahead and get something started to keep you guys posted on my last six weeks of prep for Nationals. :)
I'm working with Noel Fuller this year and very excited to see how things go. Right now, I feel like I am ahead of where I was last year at six weeks out (for the North Americans) and I feel pretty good about things. I am tired and just this week have started to hit the wall hard, but I have felt good up till now and I am really looking forward to this show.
I haven't posted many progress pics at all this year... just this one so far from the gym last week at 7.5 weeks out. I'll post a few pics here and there.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Fla!

Looking great! 6 weeks out is usually that turning point. Sounds like things are right on track.

Damn and that pic is a week old! :respect:
Lori what do you weigh now, and what did you weigh 6 weeks out last year?
Lori competed last year at the NPC Nationals. She placed 5th in the lightweight class and IMO deserved better...........

Well the 12 weeks between the North Americans and Nationals last year don't count because I was pretty much in contest shape for the whole 12 weeks...
I was about 126 pounds six weeks out from the North Americans last year. I weigh pretty much the same as that right now except I think I am much leaner and further along than I was at six weeks out from the NAs.

Yep I remember, you had a week or two break between shows. I'm sure the off season powerlifting have added a few pounds of muscle. :bench:

I would hope so! I weighed in about 113 for the North Americans and 115 for Nationals (at night without making any effort to drop water or anything to make weight). I'm expecting to JUST make weight this year but we'll see.
Looking good see ya in 6 weeks
Thanks, you too! :waving:
did you do your own prep last year?
No, I have worked with Carla Salotti since 2007, and she's been awesome...still is lol... but Carla's got so much going on this year in her personal life, and I have been impressed with Noel, so I am looking forward to working with him very much this year!

Thanks so much Kim! Definitely let's talk soon... I'll have to call you to talk me through my cardio lol, my legs aren't working that good anymore!
I'm glad we're in this one together! Looking forward to hanging out with you in Ft. Lauderdale!

Shoot me a text if you remember tomorrow to let me know what day(s) work this week!! :D

I'm getting a new phone tomorrow so once I figure it out, I will send you a text to make sure it's working. I'm up for whatever after tomorrow...I'll be going after work every day. I'll prolly have to work at least one day next weekend though, so let's plan in advance. Just let me know and we gotta figure out which gym!
How much cardio are you currently doing a day?
2 sessions AM and PM about 50 mins each. If it's a walk, then maybe an hour if I have time. It's pretty standard for me and I wont do much more than that.
I just kinda hit the wall this week...We made some changes to my diet today and I think I'll bounce back.

I recall Noel mentioning he doesn't count calories, but instead manipulates macros. If I am mistaken let me know.

I had heard Noel wasn't a big fan of lots of cardio?? I know what you are doing is common for most but surprised it isn't something more like "oh, a couple 30 minute sessions a day" lol

I just need to get myself down in to the weight range I need to be in, and then I am happy to back off the cardio.
