Are you looking for specific advice, like diet or training? Or contest prep advice?

I think the show is Oct 9 which puts me at three months out. I want to start a diet and am not sure exactly how to start. I eat clean and try to stay lean, just don't know how to get a show diet started. Also, are there stages to the diet? I read a lot of stuff and just can't figure it all out.

I guess training is also an issue. Whether to go light or stay heavy, and for how long. How much cardio, just too knew I guess. Just have to start somewhere.

Give us something to work with. Height, weight, body fat, etc. Maybe post some pics. What are you currently doing for training? What does your current diet look like?

Currently 5'5", 176lbs, 17.5 biceps, 23" thighs, 32 waist. Calfs 15", chest 43". Fairly lean, i think, however, some belly fat still to go. I will post picture when i can figure out how to do it. Hopefully soon. I think 12 weeks from the show, i am in good conditioning, just really need help on the proper work out and last weeks of diet to tighten and harden up.
