Workout Log 008, 102 Days Out
The NPC Charlotte Cup is scheduled for April 22, 2023. That’s 102 days to get what you see in today’s photos above ready to step on a bodybuilding contest stage. My plan is to compete in the Masters Men’s Physique 50+ category. I had a body scan done yesterday. I may be the heaviest I’ve ever been at a bodyweight of 234 pounds. The good news is that with my 24.8 percent body fat there is plenty of room to get my current 4-pack abs down to a 6-pack without looking skinny on stage. Lot’s of emotions with this decision. They’re all like a swirling storm of strong back and forth winds. The self-questioning thought of “can I actually do this” is perhaps a valid one. Still, I refuse to entertain it. I have been taught that it is enough to just be concerned about doing what the present day requires (see Mathew 6:25-34).
It’s been at least 10 years since I have been able to compete in a bodybuilding contest. Time to buckle up and remain focused in the eye of the storm. All prayers and well wishes will be greatly appreciated.
