I'll be doing my first show on Oct. 9th. I'm going to be competing in the novice middleweights. 174-187lbs.

Current Stats:
5'6
202 lbs

I'm in the process of trying to bring up my lagging legs. They have came a long way so far. Going to try to maintain the same weight and slowly bring down the body fat. Then switch over to an all out cutting diet around 12-16 weeks out, depending on my body fat.

This is what I looked like this past July @ 173 lbs. When I started cutting for this, I was around 185 lbs at around the same body fat as I am now. I'm hoping to be quite a bit leaner than this and about 10-12 lbs heavier!

since your BF is high, id go with a 16 week prep. legs need to come up...really focus on quads and posing.

yeah, i'm going to start working on bringing the body fat down on this next lean cycle....test/primo/masteron (starting in march)

i've split up my leg routine to quads and hamstrings on different days and starting to see some gains in them

thanks Tammy for your input...i'll post progress pics along the way

I agree with tammyp. Start your diet early and hit the quads hard.

Thanks bro. What do you suggest I try to get by BF down to by the time I start my cutting cycle and all out cutting diet? 10-12% ?

I plan on using Test/Primo/Mast to put on some more solid mass and begin to drop the body fat....then use Test/Mast/Anavar/Clen/T3 starting about 8 weeks out from my show date

If you can get down to 10% 16 weeks out, that would make life alot easier.

Hard to critique too much until you get some more body fat off, but I would like to see you get someone to help you with your poses.
Foot positions need work, although Rear poses looks pretty good.

For what its worth your quads look pretty hard.
I'm guessing that you have a job or do a sport that involves a lot leg work (or you are genetically lucky) as they are carrying less body fat than your torso.
Hammies need work to catch up to your quads though, they are lacking from the rear and side poses.

Good luck mate.

posing is better. lean a bit more back in thigh ab pose and make sure you blow out when you hit pose to make abs come out. you should really find a posing coach. see if anyexperienced bbers live near you. gl!
