New and urgently need your help

[won'tquit]

Hi One and All

I have been an avid gym goer for years now and have decided that it is time to work towards entering a body building competition. At this stage I am aiming for April 09. I have always put my own programmes together etc, but I think that it is time to get some help. I don't feel comfortable talking to the PTs at my gym as they are very young and seem inexperienced. I have been told that I should also start to diet now - about 5000kjs????? If anyone has any contacts they could put me on to it would be hugely appreciated. Also I am from Wellington, and of the female persuasion. Thanks again!

Theres PLENTY of body building talent on this site from Welly - you should be in good hands!

I would recommend:

Find someone be it an adviser/trainer/nutritionist that will listen and understand you - and that you feel that you can put your trust in.

This person can mentor you (who has done comps before) and you should be able to put your trust in them totally.

Once you get closer to comp time, you'll get all sorts of advice which can make your head swim. Stick to the person you are using!!

BG PM'd you - I think you'll be in good hands!

And keep us posted on the progress!

I gave a number for someone I trust and take on advice from, very experienced. Plus as Sheta said there are loads of people on here that will help you along the way.
