u need to start picking up the pace if u wanna get shredded..

also I wouldnt worry about your weight, as I suspect you will need to be lower the 190 to be in contest shape..

good luck buddy!

questions?

how far out did you start your diet?
what was the starting weight when you started your diet?

don't worry about weight bro, and push hard as hell for the next 8 weeks, you don't carry a shit ton of muscle so you will need to be peeled to really make some noise, so you are going to have to put your nose down and grind hard for the next 8 weeks.

what is your current diet like?

like everyone else has said, your're going to have to pick up the pace if you want to come in right. let the pain begin! goodluck bro

Thanks for the comments everyone.. I hear ya on the weight.. I didn't mean I had to be 190s weight means nothing to me really ha..

I'm working with phil hernon and I started my diet and weighed at about 16 weeks out with him so I know I am in good hands.. I did get behind in the beginning a bit but the last two weeks my body has really started losing a ton with the dropped carbs and upped cardio.. I lost about 7lbs or so since the change. I'm definitely going to diet my ass off these next 8 weeks and do whatever phil tells me. I am expecting huge changes in my physqiue the next couple weeks after the way things picked up

I started my diet around 235 I meant

That's better!

As long as you're aware of it....you need to start pushing it....which I'm sure you are.

oh definitely.. theres no letting up.. Im taking pictures tomorrow(which I'll post), in A LOT better lighting.. it was almost impossible to even get pics to show up in the hotel room when I took them. My trainer says im on track after seeing pics in a lot better lighting from the weeks and weeks before. Im definitely killing myself though and will do whatever I can.

Oh shit matty! What up man haven't spoke to you since we ran into each other at the Arnold a couple years ago. Hope you are busting your ass man. I'm no longer in school so looks like I'll never get my shot up there with you at collegiates. If i wasn't pre contest myself Id come out to support you and pig after like we did in 08 haha. Good times. Miss that Pittsburgh food.

Best of luck to you brotha!!
