Hey guys! I'm new to the board and decided to join because this is the only men's physique specific board on the web. I have friends who have competed in MF and I've decided to do my first show in April. I'm not quite sure if I'll be ready by then but I'm dieting and training as if I'm 16 weeks out.

Where are you BF% wise now? A safe rule of thumb is .5% a week. If you are 13% now and have a goal of 5% then you have an 8% delta. 8% times the loss of .5% a week is 16 weeks. Its a good reference in your prep. A half percent a week is very light and very doable. again, its a good rule of thumb for preperation. Remember, you do not want to have to still lose weight a week or so out so plan accordingly...Good luck in April. What show are you doing btw?

I'm not sure exactly where I am since my dog destroyed my calipers. I was 14% before I started dieting two weeks ago. I plan on doing the Grand Prix pro in LA...

To be able to offer you the most accurate advice, the best thing you can do is to take a couple of posing pics and post them on this thread for us to get a better idea of where you're at and what areas you can focus on. In addition, let us know your details (height, weight, body fat %). What is the actual date of the Spartan Show in May?
