My prep went from 14 weeks to 18 weeks and my coach and I pushed back to a November show. I'm currently 9 weeks in with 9 more left. Right now I still have plenty of carbs but they have been cut back a bit. Since I'm currently natural and my body wants to put on muscle, we're taking advantage of the extra time. Cardio is now 4x a week and abs are 3x a week. It's funny being one of several bikini competitors in my gym but being the one who lifts the heaviest. I know as we taper more and get deeper into prep that I won't feel as strong and the emphasis with training will shift. Right now though it feels good to be a bikini girl weighing about 140 who squats 205, deadlifts 225, and benches 105. My chest and shoulders are my weak points and have been getting special attention lately. I have dreams about the word "press." Excited to see what's looking back at me in the mirror changing on a weekly basis.
