Esplendido 4 weeks out

[esplendido]

Well, as some of you know, I decided to compete in October, even after tearing the quad tendons loose from both knees in May. The show is the Red River Bbing Classic in Norman, OK on Oct. 9th. I'll be in the 50-0ver and for grins, the Open SHW. If there was a "Your legs suck" class, I'd be in it, too.

Here are a couple of pics taken this a.m.

Back is shred city Rick; where do you seem to lose last?

I assume you're about 250# in these pics; you still thinking 245#?

Wonder if you'd mind sharing your macro numbers or however you do the diet?

Do you have the address for this place in OK? Im in North TX, given the time I would not mind checking it out.

I'm 250 naked this a.m. Weight fluctuates between 255-248 day to day this last week. I hope to be 245 on stage, although the right carb-up could take me to 250+

I have carb cycled the whole way. 3 no carb days, then 150, 200, 250, 600. I keep my protein at 400g/day and fats at 150g/day. I will go full keto 14 days out and start carb loading 4 days out.

Full keto, is that with fats or protein-veggies or protein-fats and then protein-veggies?
Best of luck to you.

Protein-fats all the way. No veggies.

[p.s.]

Ya look great and I hear ya on the leg thing as I tore my right quad off the common tendon (yes all four muscles), so I'm very impressed that you are competing this quickly!

[Bona fide]

Looking great man!

Huge respect, Rick. Back is thick, detailed and wide. Go for it.

How do you walk with tendons torn loose
Don't you need surgical reattachment
Did they both go at the same time
What exercise

I don't mean to be a dick here, but you stated that "we do this to win, not to show up" or something to that effect. If you are walking on pogo sticks, do you expect to win? Is this to prove that you can get the upper body up after the accident? Just wondering what your thinking is if you are going into a show subpar? Is it that YOU LOVE TO COMPETE NO MATTER WHAT? YOU LOVE THE PROCESS OF IT ALL? I understand bro, so do others here, you just gotta do it, right?

[axioma]

"We do this shit to win, not to show...." I think this was the statement you made...so..shits and giggles?

[HeavyDutyGuy]

And people said I have no legs. And by the way, I didnt tear the tendons on both my legs with MY training........ just saying..... You do have a good back though.
