I typically don't lose much strength until the last four weeks of prep. But then it just seems to drop off like crazy.

Hang in there. Meet your cut goal, then eat up again and your strength will...

Are you 12? You are so dehydrated and such that is the last thing you need to be concerned about. I am sure it has happened, but I have never seen it happen to anyone in any shows I have done.

Yeah. Looking good. You must be relatively short if you appear to carry a fair bit of muscle but are only weighing 156.

Welcome to the over 35 group. Things change as you hit 40+. But with hard...

Same here. Do a traditional bb split. Diet is more of an IIFYM model than anything else.

It really is just burning more calories than consuming. For my last show I did a 20 week prep. The last couple weeks got rough. I was hungry all the time.

I'm in my mid 40's so fat loss takes a...

This is just what works for me. You can do whatever you want. A lot of this is trial and error. Just pick something to start with. Give it a month. If you are progressing toward your goals, keep...

I try to make it much simpler. If you are just cutting to lean down and not for the stage at a certain date, I would just go with 1.2g protein per lb of body weight. This assumes you aren't obese. ...

Look up gluconeogenesis. I am all for high protein diets, but when you sacrifice getting in enough (not excessive) carbs, you are just paying ALOT for your carbs. Your body will convert the excess...

Quite a nice transformation. As others have said, I would add a fair bit more leg work into your program. However, realize you have done more in transforming your physique than most in this world...

I have only met a few guys in the gym who feel they are big enough or look just like they want. The funny thing is that those guys are the ones that look like crap.

I have never been able to see...

As mentioned above, you really need to up the intensity to your program.

I would consider a day or two of HIIT training to supplement your workouts. Don't worry about his bulk/cut stuff. You...

Look up Jason Poston IFBB Pro on ********. I believe he was #2 at Olympia this past year. He won 4 or 5 pro shows in 2014. He is Type 1 diabetic. He often posts things on his ******** page about...

No. IRS rules do not allow you to write off "your time." Any hard costs associated with the activity will be deductible, but any time spent or lost is not deductible. That is an IRS rule from back...

Don't give the option to go "later." Go first thing in the morning. Get up early if you have to. I get up at 4:15am. Have my first meal by 4:30am. I get to the gym by 5:30am. I get in my...

Are you a member at a gym or do you only workout at home? If home only, what kind of equipment do you have access to?

It really is that easy. Decide if you want to do Physique or BB? Look at the show you mention. How do you currently compare to the guys in BB and/or the guys in Physique? If you have no chance of...

It's not rocket science. Look for NPC shows close to you. Google is your friend.

Then, look at the photos from previous competitions of those shows. Evaluate yourself as to how you stack up. ...

Married. Mid 40's. Two girls. Wife is very supportive. Self employed. Able to lift 5 days per week and cardio 6 days per week. Did physique last year. Taking a shot at Masters Bodybuilding in 10...

I would think you are too small for body building as well. I am 5'10 and planning to be about 200-205 lbs for the 6' and under master's class for Physique. I think I am too small for full body...
