On April 28th, I'm stepping onstage again in Louisville, Kentucky, aiming for the sword that's the trophy for winning my class, and maybe another for Masters Overall.
My prep is being handled by Steve Poynter, who owns Poynter's Iron Pit, where I train, and runs fitnesspoynters.com. He trained, at a distance, the two people who won the Bodybuilding.com Transformation Challenge LAST year!
It's a different sort of workout than I'm used to, and will change every couple of weeks. We start with relatively heave 6-8 rep moves, with the addition of a circuit of 5 different abs exercises for 4 rounds, then cardio, and he gets REAL inventive with the cardio.
I'll let you know how the first day went in a couple of hours.
