Baby Izz is screaming!!!!

I remember the first day I walked into EP when it was in the old location. The heaviest dumbbells they had were 82.5s. I’d never seen anything higher than 50. I said to my coach at the time, I’ll lift those one day

Anyway, today I had a cancellation which meant I had an extra hour to train. Decided to get to EP and on the way I thought to myself, I’ve hit every lifetime goal I’ve wanted this off season, except those dumbbells

Once I get an idea in my head, that’s it. Did a few sets of ham curl then went for it. Note to self, cuffed joggers only for hinges😂😂😂

Gonna sound like a broken record at this point but I don’t bodybuild for the stage, I do it for moments like this. And yes this is the song that was in my ears😂

Your little reminder that you can literally do whatever you set your mind to if you work hard at something for long enough ❤️ by @izzielusted.pt

Reverse week 2✅

Stage weight 130.1
Last weeks weight 131.3
This weeks weight 131.9

Another food increase mid week as weight was holding very stable! The goal is absolutely NOT to hold this condition. However we want to set ourselves up to grow well into summer next year. Slow and steady, giving us longevity in this phase.

A very up and down week as is expected post show! We have to remember that hormones start to kick back in, digestion can be up and down (biggest one for me, my midsection can feel really watery, even comparing the mid week check in to today I can see my midsection isn’t as sharp!) and one day you can feel on top of the world and the next day feel awful. We push our bodies hard in a prep and getting back to a regulated state takes time. My skin and bloating have been the biggest struggles for me this week.

Self awareness leading into this phase really helped me make some decisions on how I wanted to approach things which I’ll talk about in depth at the 4 week mark. It’s totally opposite to what I’ve done previously and I’m glad I trusted myself to try something new. I’m eating an extra 1000 calories every day from prep so far and that’s literally within 15 days. Bodyweight hasn’t even budged a kilo despite also being back to training hard.

Overall things are absolutely brilliant and I’m really pleased. Just need to be patient with my skin, digestion etc while my body gets used to the additional food and new sources! This just takes time🤝 by @izzielusted.pt

What actually makes a session “hard”

This session was brutal but on paper most people would think it’s “easy”

5 exercises. 9 total sets in the whole session (1 or 2 sets per exercise)

Might sound easy

But what makes a session hard is the intensity and accuracy you apply to it

The hardest sessions are not full of 10 exercises and a million dropsets and supersets

Yeah it burns and you sweat

But that’s not what builds you serious muscle

Doing the basics. Doing them very very well. And doing them over and over again until you get very very strong

If you want to do more sets you haven’t given your programmed sets enough

Make each rep as hard as possible and get the most out the least by @izzielusted.pt

A moment for the most beautiful bikini there ever was!

A colour I never thought I’d wear but instantly became my favourite

Georgia - thank you so much for bringing my vision to life and most importantly thank you for your belief and support❤️

Use code izzie10 when ordering your bikinis, nothing more special than creating a look where you truly feel like “you”🥰 by @izzielusted.pt

Post show reverse week 1✅

Show day weight 130.1 / 59.1kg
Weekly average 131.2 / 59.6kg
Today’s weight 131.3 / 59.6kg

+ 1.2lbs / 0.5kg

Checking in 2x per week at the moment and food was already increased again on Thursday. Weight being pretty stable despite eating considerably more day to day and being back to training hard again! I don’t think anyone loves the look a week post show, I’m used to seeing the dry, hard version of my physique and obviously I’m a little softer with more food and no supps but I will say I’m v happy with how this week has gone!

The most fun week I’ve had with training for a long time!! I freestyle my sessions the first few weeks post show as this keeps me really excited to get in the gym. I trained 4x this week, toying with the idea of doing 5 days as I normally do or running a 4 day split until the end of the year.

Food wise, I’ve kept my normal food sources just bigger portions and of course added in a milky coffee each day. I get one off plan per week which I’m going to do homemade for the first few weeks to keep digestion happy. Previously I’ve enjoyed too much variety too soon as caused bloating and water retention which just messes with my head, I’ve stuck with what I’ve been having and I’ve never felt better post show!

As I touched on in my story yesterday I do believe that sometimes the narrative with post show is so negative it actually causes stress of its own. Focus on how hard it is and of course you feel it more. This time I’m focussed on the positive and exciting parts. Not to discredit the struggle but embracing change and leaning into a new challenge by @izzielusted.pt

What a session🌶️

Seated ham (8-10, 12-15)
Kickback (2x 12-15)
Leg extension (1 myo rep set)
Leg press (1x 8-10, 1x paused reps 8-10)
Hip extension (1x 10-12)
Smith Bulgarians (1x 8-10)

Absolutely loved this session! Writing my own sessions to try things out for now.

Still leaving a rep in the tank in the initial weeks of recovery. 10-12 sets max per workout. Resetting all movement patterns and forgetting old loads. Getting the most out the least.

Little check in clip from today, 5 days post show sitting 0.35kg up, food increased already, getting baseline up higher before adding in anything additional. Looking a little softer as expected with more food and less extras to help that dry look. Im happy so far! by @izzielusted.pt

Bikini, it’s been a blast🥹🩷

What a way to round off the most incredible few years spent chasing the bikini look. A category I will always always love

However I have to go back to my “why” behind bodybuilding. I love to train, especially legs. I haven’t prioritised my quads for 5 years and they’re still too dominant. I don’t enjoy training lats and that’s what need most for bikini

I bloody love this sport because of the training and in order to stay in bikini I would have to to limit some areas of that. That’s not exciting for me anymore. What does excite me is how much I need to grow towards wellness!! Many many years of hammering my lower body coming right up🥳 by @izzielusted.pt

There’s no feeling like going all in on something you’re passionate about

Bodybuilding often gets a bad rep but I do truly believe if you do it from a positive place it gives so much more than it takes

I love this crazy sport and I think a lot of people can take a lot of positive lessons from this lifestyle✨ by @izzielusted.pt
