Hey everyone, I'm Caitlin Livsey!
I am an FMG Bikini Pro Athlete and a lover of all things health and fitness.
I've always lived a very active and healthy lifestyle - originally growing up on a farm in Queensland, then moving to Noosa on the beach and surfing every day I could.
I worked at a health retreat in the Hinterlands from a very young age which I believe gave me so much knowledge and inspiration to combine fitness and wellness. I then started my journey at the gym 12 years ago!
At first, I was doing triathlons and lots of group fitness, before studying to become a personal trainer and getting into bodybuilding. That's where I found my true passion.
I worked as a full-time PT and competed for about 6 years straight before pursuing other interests due to injuries.
Now I lead a busy lifestyle - working FIFO, training people online, and travelling at every opportunity I get, all while maintaining a strong health and fitness regime.
I love Bulk Nutrients as they have quality, simple, affordable solutions for all things health and fitness without the BS that always supports me on the go.
Recommendations
Here are some of the Bulk Products I love...
Pre Workout 101
Why I love it: Pre workout is my most used supplement to give me the energy for training! I love all the different flavours and use it to mix all my aminos in for a great taste.
How I use it: One scoop before training mixed in with water, and some added ice as it's hot in Darwin!
L Glutamine
Why I love it: L Glutamine is always a staple in my supplement routine. We get it naturally in our diet, but training and stress can deplete your stores so I always like to supplement it. It's also great for the gut and the immune system!
How I use it: I mix it in with my Pre Workout 101 everyday before the gym.
Creatine Monohydrate
Why I love it: My second favourite amino that I use to support my training.
How I use it: Mixed in my preworkout with L Glutamine.
My Approach to Nutrition
When competing I follow a strict meal plan, but in everyday life I would say I naturally follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time I eat unprocessed, organic food where possible, and 20% of the time I eat my favourite foods and enjoy eating out.
My Day on a Plate
Morning: Pre Workout 101 mixed with L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate and Collagen. Greens, blueberries and yogurt (either Biodynamic or Yopro)
Lunch: Chicken breast, rice, salad or veggies.
Afternoon: Tuna or salmon, fruit.
Dinner: Steak, greens and potato.
It sounds boring but I actually really enjoy eating like this!
What is my average daily calorie intake? 1800 following a high protein diet.
Foods I avoid... I don't eat a lot of processed food, mostly because I don't enjoy it or the way it makes me feel.
Foods I crave... Cheese - no explanation needed!
Go to cheat meal: Eating at a nice restaurant, or pizza.
Training Schedule
Current Plan
Monday: Back and biceps
Tuesday: Quads
Wednesday: Chest and Triceps
Thursday: Hamstrings and Calves
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Glutes
Sunday: Rest
That's what my training split usually looks like, mostly 3-4 sets per exercise. I change the exercises every 12 weeks or so and use different rep ranges targeted to that particular training phase.
Latest Results
Do you have any medium/long term goals you're working towards?
At the moment I am recovering from injuries and surgeries. The goal is to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle and physique while getting back to a point where I can train hard and compete again.
Have you had any exceptional results in the last few years?
Winning my FMG Bikini Pro Card in 2019 is definitely my career highlight.
