💛 seeing each of the competitors take the stage yesterday... The countless hours of training, cardio, meal prep, checkins with your coach, posing, constantly carrying food or gallon jugs, etc... &&seeing each of them FINALLY have their moment. -First time competitors stepping out of their comfort zone to challenge themselves by doing something that most people never do. -Experienced athletes getting back on stage and continuing to #RaiseTheBar for themselves. Their goals. The vision they have for no one else but themselves. -A few elite athletes I've been able to see on the national stage coming back to finish off the season with family/friends/teammates, requalify, and continue to set the standard at a National Qualifier for what IS actually expected at the next level. -Promoters who genuinely appreciate their athletes & staff who understand the "what, why, and how" competitors feel the way they do and do anything to help accommodate them. Yes, everyone wants to take home some type of hardware BUT every single conversation I had with an athlete that came backstage initially disappointed went something like this… Me: …all the hours yours spent to get here, sacrifices with time before the entire day today... Is this the BEST you've ever been??? Athlete: 🤔Yes. (Followed by😏😌😊) Every athlete brought it &&THAT is winning. #RespectTheHustle #EarnedNotGiven #NpcTN #YouVsYou #IronSharpenethIron #MusicCityMuscle #BeTheBestYou #OnePercentEveryDay #212AlwaysImproving #NutrishopHendersonville #NutrishopUSA #IgFitness #IgQuotes #QuoteOfTheDay #FireWithin #MyBiggestProjectIsMe

New week. New goals. New plan.🙌🏽☺️🙌🏽 Over 6 weeks into the offseason and I'm loving being able to see what my body CAN do &have done pretty well maintaining and even dropping weight. For this next phase I'm focused on increasing metabolic rate & letting my body work with me not against me. At first I was hesitant to decrease cardio... I've been doing 15-30 (up to 45 ) minutes a day the past few weeks. This week IF I do cardio it'll be no more than 15-20 minute segments. Today is day 1 😅 Shoulders, 3 minutes cardio & 3 minute stretch. 42 minutes 420 kcals. #WinningEveryDay #TrainSmarter #BalanceIsKey #iLoveThisIsh #FuelYourBody #CardiNo #iHateRunning #MyBiggestProjectIsMe #MoveDatAz #RaiseTheBar #SetTheStandard #NutrishopHendersonville #NutrishopUSA #HainesHerWay #OnePercentEveryDay #212AlwaysImproving #NPC #IFBB #FigureAthlete #IgFitness (at Gold's Gym Hendersonville)

Day one back to tracking/monitoring things... Before NA's I set a "goal" to take a 1 month break. No tracking food or workouts, no monitoring heart rate, no 2 a day training sessions, and do 1-2 things I wouldn't normally do every week... Believe it or not, it was MUCH harder than it sounds... By the 2nd week I started a countdown lol The most annoying part... "Why aren't you training as much anymore? That was a short workout..Off season in full effect huh?" 😑✋🏽 I needed a break. My focus the past month has been balance. Doing what I love to do, with people that I love to be around, and helping others... It's been GREAT! &&Data doesn't lie... My last recorded session was 8/31 (peak week) Average heart rate and Max heart rate were lower, spent most of the time in fitness and endurance zones, never got above 70-80% &dropped significantly towards the end. Today, after a break, higher intensity for a higher percentage of the time 🙌🏽🙌🏽Sometimes rest is best... Only sometimes tho 😜 #LoveWhatYouDo #DoWhatYouLove #BeTheBestYou #OnePercentEveryDay #212AlwaysImproving #BalanceIsKey #NutrishopHendersonville #NutrishopUSA #igfitness #HainesHerWay #ItsTheLittleThings #ItsALifestyle #ImprovementSeason #TeamHainesTraining #MyBiggestProjectIsMe
