206 lbm...

Hello everyone. Hope you all are doing well. I am going to be competing here in the South in a hopefull 4 months. I feel that length of time will give me enough prep to be able to do very well.

I am quite new to "bodybuilding", although I have been lifting for almost 4 years. I am 5'7'' and weigh 255. My body fat was tested last week at the University where I live, and I am at 18.7%. That was the water testing method.

I am hoping to get just some general feedback. As the time draws closer, I am going to get a digital, and start posting pics. I would say right now that I carry about 70% of my body fat in my stomach, and the rest spread out from there. I will give measurements if anyone wants, but until then, I would like to keep this as good as we can, and not get into a measuring tape battle like I have seen on here.

Hoping for some great comments, and I hope that I will be able to learn from you all here. I have seen some great stuff from Str8flexed, Beast, and Abdominator...are these guys the "pro's" here? Hope they will be willing to help as well.

I will post diet and training as soon I can.

Thanks all!

Diet looks like this:

Meal 1- Protein shake; 2 scoops egg protein, 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp. flaxseed

Meal 2 - 3.5 oz chicken/tuna, 1 cup cooked brown rice, 1 cup veggies

Meal 3 - Protein shake; same as meal 1 less fruit

Meal 4 - 3.5 oz chicken, 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, 1.5 cups veggie

Meal 5 - 3.5 oz tuna, 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, 1.5 cups veggie

Meal 6 - 3 oz chicken, 2 cups veggies.

Training is done with a 2 day on, 1 off, 2 day on, 2 off

I train cardio after each workout, except for leg day. Cardio is done for month 1 at 250-300 minutes, month 2 for 400 and month 3 for 500.
