training in the offseason…

since my shows i really havent been talking much about my training & how the offseason is going. guess its because im not focusing on competing right now and im doing other things. dont get me wrong…im still training hard about 5 days a week. im not going too heavy right now. my tendonitis is acting up again in my forearms. i cant train back & bis the way i want. sometimes after the workouts i feel like i didnt even do anything. it really sucks at times. i like to train back & bis heavy because i want them to GROW!!! but i work around it & do what i can do. if i have to rep out 20 reps & really concentrate on form then thats what i have to do. my diet is so-so. i would say i eat clean about 70% of the time. if anything i eat more carbs than i should. i dont eat much junk….but the carbs, even good carbs add up & its not good if you are wanting to stay lean. im about 184 right now. some mornings i weigh 184 and some 180. whatever…i feel good, im not depriving myself & thats all that matters. im not going to deprive myself right now because for the most of 2009 i was on a diet with the 4 shows i did spread through out the year. im sure when it starts to warm up i will clean it up so i can drop a few lbs and i will be all good to sport a bikini! ♥
