Natural Bodybuilding Contest Prep 2022 Training Journal (14)

Training logs for week starting 2nd May

The new routine has been going quite well indeed. I have been thoroughly enjoying the split and have felt that each session has been conducive to muscle preservation. That being said I did notice a drop off in strength on some of the movements, namely shoulder press and squat. I will be paying close attention to them this week and ensure that I make up for that this week with increased vigour and mental preparation.

I will likely add in some more calories on a Thursday prior to my leg day on the Friday and really try to hit the foam rolling and stretching as frequently as I can. Its no coincidence that the loss of strength coincided to a big drop in weight this week - Im now 82.8kg.

Data from training week

Overall...

This week marked the highest amount of cardio i have done thus far, with most days involving 2x60 minute session. I'm really eager to continue to push forwards fairly fast over the next 3/4 weeks.

Any questions regarding training, mindset or nutrition just ask!
