Great work on getting back on track with the diet. It's really hard to stop for some people once the flood gates of junk food are open (myself included). I'm hoping I can also have similar discipline after my show. I want to binge Saturday night, Sunday and Monday and then back on the macro measuring wagon!

It was really hard today especially with all the temptations while traveling today. But i am really upset with how I am looking right now, hopefully not to much damage, just some serious bloating. Feeling like I lost a lot of hardwork. Time to get the sand out of my vagina and get back to the grind!!

You have to remember, you PEAKED for a particular show. If you spent the next 2 weeks following the same protocol, you would more than likely be tightened up a good bit. However, it is really easy to add pounds upon pounds of fat after a show because your metabolism is pretty beat up and your body has adjusted to such low levels of calories along with high levels of exercise.

I think that is what i am going to do. Leave my macros where they are right now for the next week or two and see where it leaves me. I dont want to start this bulk already feeling like sh!t! I want to make sure i do this right so im not prepping for weeks on end next round!
Hit legs this morning and it was dreadful. Totally destroyed them to the point i didnt want to walk up the stairs to my apartment..thats a good sign right? :) I know physique doesnt show much leg but i am still going to smash them just as hard as anything else..who wants chicken legs?

Legs are ****ing dead today! First time in awhile I have been this sore all over, I LOVE IT! ^^^ that's right, I stepped on the scale this morning. Pretty happy with the number, I imagine I will be at 143 by Monday when my carbs increase. Shoulder work today was killer, I had a nasty pump and felt pretty damn strong. Going for Japanese tonight so I made sure to fit it in my macros.

How does the truetein pb cup taste? I have the ON chocolate pb right now and it's pretty good, much better than the mocha capachino that I was using. The truetein Cinnabon that I have is really good.

Its very...dry? If that makes any sense. It leaves my mouth with a weird dry feeling. So far Muscle Pharm protein has been far superior to anything else i have tried flavor wise.
Looks like you are already riding high on the rebound of competing. No doubt you will see solid gains in strength and size over the next few months if you keep pushing hard and keep your macros in check. Strong sessions Billy!
Nice workouts lately
Hope your feeling better now that you have weighed yourself

Thanks guys!
I think my binge is finally starting to wear off...[B] I AM HUNGRY! [/B]
So me and my girlfriend have been dating for 7 months today. She has been a little irate with my diet and us not being able to have a decent night out. I decided to take her to a nice Japanese restaurant and let it all go and have a good ass time. Got a large yuengling, rib eye, and jumbo shrimp...and a plate of carmalized bananas :D had a great night.

^^^ and no that is NOT my girlfriend in the picture HAHA
Quick update: The last few weeks before the show work had been horrible, didnt want to be there and was pretty much pissed off / half asleep the whole time. I assume it was from my lack of food. Well Monday and Tuesday after my awesome binging i was very high spirted to the point where poeple at work were noticing and even said something to me and my boss. Well yesteryday patients were back to being short, and by 6 oclock when i got off work i was tired as ****. After my meal last night i felt awesome again. With that being said i am making a big plunge and upping my carbs to 250g. I know that is quite a bit but i am in off season so i am testing the waters. Hopefully the fat gain will be minimal. New macros are ~250c/229p/70f

lol - who thought that was your girlfriend? :)
That looks like a pretty steep jump in carbs. You would probably be safer making smaller, more frequent jumps in carbs until you get to a good maintenance level, but you are right, it never hurts to experiment and see how your body responds. If you gain 2 lbs in a week, you can always scale them back a bit...
Looks like you have been enjoying some meals out!!!you deserve them
Hoping my girlfriend doesnt nag me when its our anniversary 3 weeks before the show (big hint as shes reading this lol)
Workouts are looking strong

It is a steep jump, but i am curious to how i respond. The highest i have EVER had my carbs since keeping track of my macros is around 200. I am having hopes that i fill out nicely to a point where i dont spill over. Besides, that second poptart every morning gets real aggravated when i put him in a ziploc for the next day :D

Ohhh man!
You are going to have to make it up to her big time. My girlfriend was way more patient with me then i could ever wish for. She will understand when you are shredded :D
She actually said this to me during prep week "If you didnt look so good, idk if i could stick around" :p

DUDE! Didn't I tell you about the 2nd poptart!? I knew you couldn't keep putting it away for later. Those damn marketing execs know that when you open a pack with 2 in it, you sure as hell are gonna eat them both :) Obesity for the win :)
There is no way I can put down two in one sitting! Looking at the nutrition and seeing 400 cals / 70 g of carbs in two TINY items is ****ing nuts. Just want to fit one in :D

Well that will be after the show, but I can easily put away 2 BOXES of those Cookie poptarts in one sitting.
And before you get up on me saying it's too much sugar, look at the label! Calcium, bitches!

Anticipating my lunch, I go to grab it out of the fridge at work to find I mistakenly grabbed the Tupperware with left over black bean instead of my meal :(
Starved my way through the day, got home and made these epic pumpkin pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter protein sludge. Holy. ****.

They aren't at every store and my wife happens to get them at a discount grocer out by me....0.99/box. That's right! How can you not devour them at that price. Wait until you taste them too. They are the most uber soft poptart I ever ate, it actually falls apart in your hand it's so soft and chewy. Mmmmm
