Hey guys!

Thought I’d give you an update on my progression in my training so far. I am currently 11 weeks into my training and have 11 to go until my competition. So at the half way point where am I?

This was a summary written up by my trainer, Artur;

11/2015 – 54.4kg and 19% body fat

16/1/16 – 57.8kg and 14.75% body fat

Give or take human error that’s 3kg gain in pure muscle, and a drop of 3.5/4% body fat!

And as if that wasn’t enough, strength gains in 9 weeks as well!

32.5kg x 5 reps bench press to 40kg x 7 reps

60kg x 5 reps squats to 70kg x 8 reps

It just proves that you can gain muscle and drop body fat at the same time. You just have to train smart and eat well. What’s more is that it was all done on a vegan diet again proving that I don’t NEED meat and eggs to gain muscle.

I am so happy with my progress and can’t wait to see what my body will be like when it’s competition ready! Bring on the next 11 weeks!

There’s one person I could do this without though and that’s my amazing trainer Artur Pavlos. My results are proving exactly that, that he is amazing! Thank you!

Here’s to the next 11 weeks!
