1. Can you describe prep you went through?
Prague and on 2nd January 2017 I started my new job, which is very stressfull and I found out that if I hit the gym after work, I let go all stress and trouble. It was my motivation for workouts and there was no time for pause. I didn’t plan competing in 2017, I wanted to focus on my new job, settle down in Prague, but I was offered to cooperate with the NUTREND company and thus there appeared also a chance to stand on stage again. Thank you for it!
2. What about the diet? Any complications?
I had for all year. It was possible thanks to my boss, so I could workout even 3 times a day. There also appeared complications. I had to deal with digestive problems. I wen to see a doctor and I found out my protein intake was too high, so I lowered it and it helped. After that, just like every year, I had problem with my tooth. I got inflammation that woke me up at night and I couldn’t eat. I had 8 meals a day so it was necessary to do something with it. In the end, my dentist pulled it out. Last prep, I had to pull out one of my back tooth one day after competition and during the very first prep of mine I broke my tooth. Eating a carrot. Next time I am buying Mouthguard and Blendadent. :)
3. How was the photoshooting with NUTREND?
Photoshooting in Ostrava and Olomouc was great, difficult, but pictures are great and I enjoyed it so much. I have to say that the team prepared everything, they knew exactly what they need and it was really professional. They brought me food in exact amount I needed and they booked a hotel room for me and assured entrance to gym. For me, it was next great skill. We made 4 videos and I think photos are splendid. Photoshooting is one thing that I always enjoyed, it’s fun and when you have a great team around and nice weather, the result is always great. I am already looking forward to next photoshooting!
4. Can you describe competition day?
so I had to spend all day posing, without water. I felt weak even if I filled it with sugar for previous two days. But when they called my category on stage, everything fell off me immedately and I felt great. I enjoyed the time on stage like never and I dare to say that I had the most shredded form. I didn’t sweat, there were no cramps, no fight for position during compulsory posing. Everyhing was just the way it should be.
5. What was the atmosphere during EVLS like?
It was great, most people from work came to support me, it was huge experience for them. They met my grandmother, who came from across the Czech Republic just to see me. I heard them cheering me up all the time on stage. I loved the Expo, atmosphere was really nice. I enjoyed it also at the NUTREND stand, where I could meet all athletes in person, it was amazing, I was really proud.
6. How did you feel about the result?
preffered bigger muscle volume. My weight was 105,5kg, so I had 4 kg muscle mass reserve. The prep itself was probably the best, I wasn’t suffering, except one week when I had to do 15 mins HIIT every morning, go to gym for the first workout, then to work and another workout followed with 40 mins cardio before bed. But I moved forward that week a lot. I probably could change it next time, but I quite enjoyed it.
7. What do you plan next?
