Wouldn't want to hold you in...Hey Vicki it's Tegan! Wouldn't want to hold you in suspense too much longer, haha! You have plenty of time to shed the last kg. I wouldn't rush it. I always kept a good kg on til the last 3 weeks because training gets so heavy by then so I needed a bit extra bodyweight behind the bar, especially for bench. I guess it was even more important as a 'lightweight lifter'. Also some 'fat' keeps the immune system up a bit. I cut out ALL the assistance work a month out except close grips which I kept up until a fortnight before the comp. Otherwise it's too draining on the body. I also did very little cardio at that time so as to save my legs for the heavy DLs and squats. I just followed the classic high protein, higher water intake,low carbs (not too low or I couldn't concentrate at work), low sugar/salt diet - complaining the whole time of course! I find the rest of it comes off with nervous tension/excitement.Fire 'n' Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495388197066998377noreply@blogger.com
