hey

this is totally person dependant

go through phases for as long as your body can endure it….ie someone may be able to ‘bulk’ for 12 weeks and still feel good keeping fat to a minimum…other may only be able to do 6 weeks, before they feel sluggish/heavy etc
and the sam applies for the deficit phase…get as lean as you can slowly whilst holding strength.

@Lee – hey, thanks for joining 🙂 with the new qualifiers I don’t think it will last much longer either tbh….I agree that its not fair on the athletes to have so little time onstage…this is true at a lot of comps i think.
@jdh – I really don’t know the reason. ive never done anything ti disrespect another from any fed – all interactions have been polite….we will never know…there is bias in all fads…PCA and Nabba are both guilty of that too I feel…maybe a sub conscious bias…but most of the time the judging is right…and now its cool, as the international comps are judges from a mixed panels so that in itself allows a little less bias
@Andrea – yep…as u can imagine…I wasn’t a happy bunny hahaha…but did work well in the end as Dublin was the best show of my life! lol
@Keith85 – all my pics are on my IG – I really liked the look for Austria too…that was 3 weeks out from Russia, 4 weeks out from rio

@Andrea – ill give the background to what happened….I don’t know the exact reason..i only ever needed to be in the top 6, not even top 3…all I wanted was permission to compete internationally

SOOO

ukbff qualifier in September 2013 – first year there was WPD
I won the class, but then got told that at the finals I needed to do the bodybuilding class as I was too muscular (the reality really was that I was dense as I wasn’t lean, this was PRE condition corinne)

So I did the ukbff brits in WBB (which I felt uncomfy doing, I wasn’t like the other women at all – but did it just because!) came 4th, totally fine with that.

The next year 2014 – I did NABBA…I don’t actually remember the reason why I switched …I think mainly because I liked the conditioning of the trained class. – that was a VERY fun and successful year for me – I loved it so much

BUT THEN….it became apparent that IFBB pro card was my goal, so the only choice I had at the time was to do UKBFF again…so in 2015 I did the ukbff qualifier in WPD – properly in condition, I won.

few weeks later was the finals….I didn’t get even called into top 6….and the girl I beat at the qualifier came 2nd….totally confused…but judging is odd sometimes and I didn’t peak right, so I kinda thought I deserved not to place (even tho in honesty i didn’t think I should have been in the top 6)

shrugged it off – thought sod that ill do the late qualifier in November, hit the best look and re qualify for the brits the next year,..which I did and I placed 1st.

So a year later 2016 – its the finals again…I didn’t called into the top 6 again….and AGAIN the really felt that my physique was within that top 6

so I was pretty pissed at this point…we spoke to one of the judges who we had known for a long long time, Jordan knew him personally when in lived in Brighton, and we just asked him for full on honesty….he didn’t give a real reason at all…just the usual words…so Jordan just said something to the affect of ‘ok, so should Corinne try to do the ukbff british again or is she not going to be rewarded?’ …he said ‘in all honesty, go and compete with another federation’

this was him being nice….as id just wasted a whole year aiming for comp! so I was horribly upset (ONLY ROUTE TO IFBB!) but in the same breath I respected the advise.

I cried….obviously… then decided that I would do another show to actually get the comp experience that I deserved – I went on to win PCA 2 weeks later, and then i won my pro status with WFF 2 weeks after that. – amazing year on stage in the end!

this is my honest recall of events….and ill leave it to you to decide what actually happened – I don’t have an issue with any member of any federation…I just turn up, tan up, tart up and get on stage….and often leave the venue in tears haha

music – I think ive mentioned this before….I don’t listen to music, just whatever the gym is playing, which is hopefully upbeat pop kinda music…not a fan at alllll of the hard core stuff – im not an aggressive lifter …not even when powerlifting…I don’t use smelling salts or get people to hit…not for me 🙂 cool clam and collected haha

@Keith85 – good question….such a hard one to answer…im genuinely not a big fan of photos – my favourite posing video is the one from Dublin the night before….this is the best I have ever looked….also that trip was my favourite…I recruited my sister…went on a whim basically, first ever WFF comp, I hade been told by UKBFF they wouldn’t place me so I was just finding comps to end the year on a good note….I won that comp and my WFF pro card and the overall..beating the Brazilian lady who the week prior had won the nabba uni…so it was fantastic and totally unexpected…so theres a photo of me winnung that that i really love as its just very natural and I look genuinely shocked haha – Leanne being there was just so much fun too…that night the comp finished SO late, so we rushed back to the hotel at about 10.30 I think…got changed…asked everyone and anyone if there was anywhere to go as we NEEDED to celebrate…some how going to bed after that wasn’t good enough haha… so we found pretty much the only place still serving food – the meal was incredible…then she made me hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream and biscuits before bed…that’s my absolute favourite…the next day we went round Dublin, exploring, enjoying some really nice food …literally the best weekend – so ill hold all those memories within that video and those photos.

@jdh – either training method is great for mass imo….BUT it depends on the level of muscularity or the athlete, phase they are in (surplus/deficit) and the intensity to which they train – the upper/lower I like in a surplus, but In a deficit I do fear as I wrote above that it wont protect enough mass…so I think PPL is better in that respect.

Frenchies …..only get one IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME! if they are going to be on there own for more than about 3 hours…they aren’t the dog to get…they are VERY hard work in nature, so affectionate and good natured BUT they aren’t ‘obedient’ so to speak…and they do destroy everything

@horsepower – thank you for the support….I accept that everything is a changing process, but I don’t accept mistakes that have now hindered my process – that’s the frustration….PMA wont undo error….buts its fine…as its done now and if I don’t like what I see ill have to wait til 2019…not something I want to do at all- but of course I would rather wait than present something I was unhappy with.

Happy sunday everyone

yesertday was my nieces first birthday! cant believe she is one…scary…so my sister and brother in law had a bbq/party at there house
was a lush day – lots of people, catch up with friends and family, I made a cake etc etc
so it was a lovely day.

something I genuinely love in life is holding parties and catering…I literally cant get enough!

so im not (potentially) 13 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS OUT

I wont be feeing any more confident for a while in honesty, so its just a case of watching things unfold, acting and evaluating as I go.

yesterday I re added assistance (10 mg anavar per day and 50 mg primo per week)
my thyroid remains the same
25 t3 per day
100 t4 per day
I am still on clen, but will stop that from tomorrow.

I am resting today and definitely tomorrow – I am re starting training again on THURSDAY, but I think I will train on Tuesday in a deload fashion to ease back in a little.

despite me LOVING my upper lower plan…I am changing to PPL.. 2 on 1 off, repeat

this is because the sessions are very long and I fear that when heading into a deficit they may just bring about wastage and fatigue without accurately protecting the muscle. – something we learnt from Jordans prep…and although I obviously have a lot less mass than Jordan, proportionally I do have a lot for my frame, so principle applies.

I posed yesertday morning and let Jordan watch….his words were ‘you don’t actually look as bad as I thought you would’ haha which sounds horrid BUT actually this is very positive…he thinks I am leaner than I think and he isn’t worried about the time frame….obvs I still am lol

so that’s the necessary prep update….now for some distracted chat? haha what do people wana know 🙂

to my knowledge….physiologically no, there is no impact on a high day on your metabolic rate.

psychologically as you have outlined, maybe it will influence other factors to see more fat loss.

i think ghrelin (‘hunger hormone) will increase from a refeed, hence feeling hunger…leading to the feeling that the food has increased your metabolism.

i don’t know as much as i would like on this topic and relationship between leptin and ghrelin – but i do know that a refeed does not increase your met.

@Emma – its hard to say….as the comps are so varied…i was in contention to win shows as my look is ok and within a standard…BUT i have always been beaten as ive looked a little stringy…so i know i needed more muscle to make me less beatable – i don’t regret gaining the size…i just wish i could go back and re do a few bits…like i said, maybe i am just panicking too soon and in a few weeks things may be feeling / looking completely different! i don’t know….but ill keep you updated x 🙂

@jdh – youre right – once im rested ill feel more able to fight…just totally drained in all ways I think! and again, yes maybe you are right with the look too…however I couldn’t bring myself to be less conditioned….and I believe that if I hit all out condition, with the new mass, then that could be enough to win….I have no idea what this prep will lead to…if its nothing ill rebound and go next year

@Melissa – firstly, youre forgiven haha but only because you have been nice haha…in seriousness, thank you, that does mean a lot…and I hope so badly that im just panicking and my body will start to be more like my own…but as it stands it feels very different…rest assured, I wont give up… 🙂

@Kippy – thanks for being my autocorrect haha – and told you I was right on the accent haha – thank you as ever for the support….I think i feel so angry with myself as i could/should have spotted the mistakes and corrected them…i know its all down to hard work and that i can do…i just have to make sure i work hard in an accurate way and not just an irrational way, which i am very guilty of…but thank you…this is why i need to vent…i need like minded people to put me back in line before i float wildly away on my illogical tangents ! 🙂

@johnathan – thank you….in a way I wish I was in a bad spot because I had been off plan.. at least that way i could easily rationalise it….I haven’t eaten off my diet plan at all – so this wasn’t done through ‘bad’ behaviour if you see what I mean…it has occurred through a number of issues and wrong decisions…..the rest from training is very much needed along side more sleep – this will help to re set me physically

@JohnG – as its all hormonal, I do believe hard work can be undone – it can be re done, but just feels so unfair in many ways…if you see what I mean? im likely not explaining myself too well

@Keith85 – thank you….I really do hold too much value into what others think…im so self conscious that people look at me now and think ‘she must have been binging’ ‘shes fat’ – its crazy, as I know other don’t even regard me…but its all in my mind…I have already thought about postponing…but its not the date that im fussed about, its the anger with the process…i feel like im constantly working hard but in the wrong way if you see what i mean? but yes, I will “shut the fuck up and go get whats yours” haha

I get that – and its not the show that im annoyed about

but its more the frustration of undoing years of work…those years weren’t fun but I put myself through them to be in a good spot…now im not

I have no idea what my body will do..maybe itll be fine! I don’t know…

this is true..more me being quick and frank being the total opposite haha

BRACE YOURSELVES….MIND SHOWER ABOUT THE ENSUE….

so, I woke up yesterday at about 5.30am with that feeling like I was going to sick…hobble out of bed, over Ava, over Frank, get to the bathroom….not sick…go back to bed…alarm goes off about 30mins later (love it when that happens) …get up, go downstairs put the food on…sit down for a sec…look at the food…’f*ck that…im getting into bed’….I NEVER NAP! like never ever

get back into bed….laid on my bottle of water which didn’t have the lid on properly…but I continued to lay in water….least of my worries! fell back to sleep, Ava conveniently on my neck

Got up a few hours later and ate my meal…slowly….walked frank (slowly!)

got back home, sat home, Jordan was there….I spoke a little…I cried…well more or a sob/whimper, not a full on cry cry!

got told off essentially for running myself into the ground…told to rest from gym…I fought this idea (naturally)…but in honesty I haven’t felt good for months…I DID deload over the spain week BUT we know from experience that travelling is never restful.

ill be honest with you all..as that’s the point of my blog…and the way I want it to be….and you can all think im nuts, pathetic, dramatic etc etc but I truly don’t mind what you think and im not asking for sympathy im just recalling how I feel as this seems to be interesting to others

so I feel incredibly frustrated and very angry, and also a little scared and intimidated….im meant to be 14 weeks out from my show….I don’t feel like its possible….im not in a good place physically.

My body fat went too high and I feel like I have reversed a lot of the foundations that I laboured for….I spent 2/3 years grafting to get to a place were prep was ‘easy’ and I could get into true condition……now I feel like im at square one and the prospect of having to repeat that process for another year to get back to that place is a little over whelming.

I don’t feel like I will get in condition in 14 weeks…so how can I compete?
im knackered….mentally and physically.

im going to get leaner of course as there is no other option….but I really really don’t feel confident that I will be able to put myself on stage.

this was meant to be the year that I got the thing ive been working for, for a long long time and now I feel that’s been taken away…I always said that if I didn’t achieve it this year or maybe early next year that I would stop..i don’t want to be that person who keeps pursuing and doesn’t achieve….I have more to offer so I will channel my mind and body into other areas of my ambitions.

I have no idea how or if my body will play ball…it feels like a different being right now

I needed the muscle and the size, but I don’t think I will even be able to present it yet….so im feel gutted and angry by that prospect and just totally overwhelmed by failure.

DISCUSS…

but…putting things into PERSPECTIVE my life is great and im totally fine…and im not forgetting that!
