Fakey's Return....

Hey guys

Hope everyone is well and doing good and big. Its been awhile since i've been here. Had a few setbacks the last few month's and stuff not going to good. But been pushing threw the hardships and getting back on track nicely. Had DJ in my corner the last two month's again and things are looking promising. Enough soppy stories, let's get down to business.

We've been prepping for my first show now for the last 5 weeks already and still going strong, had a few upsets here and there but nothing major to stop progress or results. The show we're aiming for is 14 April which gives me another 7 weeks to get there. Which i think is adequate time to get shredded.



The pic was taken last weekend. So that's me roughly to date.

So yeah, here's to my first comp

Hey bud, looking sharp there!! Good luck and us updated hey.

Welcome back bro
Its been a while since you have been on.

Welcome back and goodluck with the contest prep

Im doing the Guateng Central, i'm actually excited

Week: 7

Weight: 78kg
Bodyfat %: Unknown (rough estimate of 11%)

Diet:
Ok so last week i had no weight loss, DJ adjusted my diet and drop cals abit. Last week i did miss 2 cardio session tho due car problems. Im hungry all the time as my meals only keep me full or satisfied for a hour at the most. Cravings so far are'nt bad and im finding it easy to stick to my meals. Have been dieting strict for almost 6-7 weeks now with no cheat meals.

Training:
Energy while training is abit lower then normal and strength has gone down aswell. Weird thing i've noticed on sum days i get this explosion of energy and strength but it doesn't last long tho, say first 20min of the workout.

Mood:
My mood is still alright at the moment, 80% im in a fairly good mood but do get irratted easily.

Overall im happy with how things are progressing and coming along.

I'll be doin picture updates 6 weeks out, 3 weeks out and 1 week out and then contest day.

Training:
Energy while training is abit lower then normal and strength has gone down aswell. Weird thing i've noticed on sum days i get this explosion of energy and strength but it doesn't last long tho, say first 20min of the workout.

I have the exact same thing. About the hunger, get yourself some HCA by Solal it is a great appetite suppressant and also assists in better utilisation of carbs.

Week: 6

Weight: 77.5kg
Bodyfat%: unknown

Diet:
Diet is still going strong, sticking to it 110%. A few changes have been made again which make me very happy (less eggs ). Cravings getting worse as i find it hard just to go shopping. Hate walking in to the spar on a saturday/sunday morning and smelling freshly baked rolls. Been mixing up the way i eat my food, I started eating cooked oats again as i've found this keeps me fuller for longer and i quess the illusion of a fuller bowl helps.

Training:
Still the same no changes in strength.

Mood:
I have to admit my mood is getting abit worse. I find myself snapping at small things and getting irritated very quickly.

Sleep:
My sleep pattern is not good as i find it hard to fall asleep and waking up alot.

Setback:
I had one setback last week thursday/friday. I fell very ill to a stomach bug which stopped me from eating properly and no training.

Other things noted:
1. Hair growing like a mofo.
2. Increase in acne
3. Vascularity increasing more (and by genetics im not very vascular)
4. Painfull pumps/cramps in forearms. The muscle right next to the bone. Like shinsplints.

Wanted to post pics but can't as my pc decided to blow on sunday. Will try and make a plan in this week on coming weekend.

Hey Fakey,

my fiance spoke to the chairlady (Leoni Canadas) of the Gauteng Central events today, and according to Leoni all Gauteng Central events have been cancalled.All competitors wo wanted to enter Gauteng Central shows, now have to enter Gauteng North shows. you can go on to the Muscle Evolution website to get Leoni's number, you can then give her a call to double check. According to Leoni the info regarding the Gauteng Central events on Muscle Evolution is incorrect. but please just double check this.

Are you taking anything to help with your sleeping problems?

not really, just the ketotifen at night before bed. Some nights are better then others but i do get another 2hrs sleep during the day that helps.

Looking goog there bud. best of luck for ur first comp

Why not get yourself on some Zolpidem short term? Are your sleep problem recurring or only on cycle?

No prob bro , yeah my comp also move ton 7 april instead of 28 april , so 3 weeks shorter for prep

I've got the atmost faith in DJ to get me ready, is other factors thats halting or slowing my progress. I had a setback on monday. Going to the doc today to asses. Will make my choice after what he says today.

But im competing, come rain, high water, blizzard, tornado's or armageddon. Nothing is stopping me!
