As someone who has struggled with gaining weight for the majority of my life I decided to take on the 12 week showcase challenge to keep me accountable when it comes to food intake and exercise. I had just competed at the Showcase Super Classic 4, and had needed to cut weight to make my weight class (very frustrating). Taking this as a sign that my body wanted to grow, and with the timing of the challenge, it only made sense to sign up. I'll be the first to admit, I do not track any of food. This isn't the smartest or most conducive way to go about diet, however, for now, it's working for me.

Increasing my protein has been my main focus with carbs and fat being close behind.

The In-Body scans were a great way to track progress and compare on paper the changes to weight, body fat, etc. that were happening. Having my peers from the gym also participating in the challenge was great motivation. I enjoyed seeing everyone's progress, learning new recipes, and keeping each other accountable. All-in-all , Im super happy with and proud of the progress I've made in the last 12 weeks.
