Thanks man, its been a long journey working together on this, but I always knew if you dialed in, youd be tough to beat in any show. I was right. 3 more weeks to crush the Mets.

Today's update. My bodyweight is down again, now to 188. Very lean at this point (around 7-7.5%). Have added back in carbs to around 3K total cals per day. I have lost a little fullness (size) too. Gonna go back to 3 refeed meals per week. Here's my current breakdown of macros
CARBS: 400 grams 1600 cals
Protein: 250 grams 1000 cals
FAT: <40 grams 360 cals

My body needs carbs to keep my size and I don't want to increase them anymore so I will probably bump protein to 275-300 and add digestive enzymes so I can get it down properly. Also might add some fatty acids to increase the "good" fat. This will bring my total cals over 3200 per day at least just to keep the size on.


The other thing I added and this is probably the main reason my legs thinned out this week and BW dropped was I've added 3 days of cardio just on the treadmill uphill 10% incline. Nothing too taxing just 25 minutes each session EOD for over all heart and lung health. I don't like what the cardio is doing to my legs. Gonna make these food mods and continue the cardio for another week to see how I respond.


Legs have gotten "stringy" looking IMO.

Thanks fella's. We all motivate each other, we all have are own goals, they all are relative to us. That is why each person on this thread has an angle, it is pretty damn cool to see all these posts...positive motivation to all that it can be done with consistency, effort, and work...then toss in balance and life, and we have ourselves bodybuilders who do this for a lifestyle, not only the stage.

To answer a couple of questions...4% offseason, nah I see this as 4% preseason...do we ever take "OFF"season in bodybuilding. It is not like we quit training, eating, and being us...we may deload a bit, but that to me is part of the recovery process and may eat some even more tasty food, but that is all part of the sanity process, lol. It is all about transition points and nothing drastic, progression points, etc.....You all get it, no need to say that to you all. Guys keep rocking it!

Kevin and Scoobs...I might just be a water drop from stage I got the itch.

And by the way, CONGRATS to PROVO for the overall, him and scoobs make a hell of a team!!!!

Steve, I'm seeing some separation coming in now. Also seeing vascularity peaking thru! You're keeping your quad size with your diet awesome job and keep it up looking forward to seeing what those wheels look like when you're shredded.
