    Tuesday 10/3/23

    30 min light cardio, followed by 3 sets of abs and posing rounds

    Non training day, body work at normal training time

    Got home last night from Phoenix at 3am, so between that and the adrenaline dump from last week, jet lag, and normal prep and low body fat feels, I have never been so tired in my life lol

    If hiring a coach is what you feel will be beneficial to you, then do so. You don’t have to have a competitive reason to have a coach. But being adherent is a choice only you can make

    To trust your coach if you trusted them enough to hire them. Give it time, and see how things work out

    Don’t overthink it unless you have a reason of health or excess water retention to worry about

    Yes it’s possible

    But just focus on the daily consistency of sticking to the diet and exercise and not overly focused on a number

    It really depends
    Just base it on your response and progress needs
    If you have the same diet as training days on off days and your weight doesn’t fluctuate then you may not need to adjust much, but if you notice a big influx based on lowered expenditure then just decrease based on the general amount of calorie burn difference
