Hey man just checking in to see you're killing it! Must want redemption on last years prep, hasn't been that long since you last competed has it?

Awesome to see the changes you've made to your...

33 here, been powerlifting for years and no serious injuries yet. You need to stay on top of your mobility work! Any little niggle I get can be massaged out with the right tools.

Go and read...

Will follow your prep again, interested to see what you will do differently yourself compared to what Paul had you doing. Any thoughts around that, what worked / didn't work?

If you like coffee then give Mocha a shot, I've been having that lately with my weet bix and it's delicious!

Cookies and Cream and Vanilla are other winners, nice mild flavour.

Go the 5KG...

Congrats on the baby!!

Yep was just thinking this! Looking swole bob!

Shredded wheat!

Looking swole Bob!

What's the deal with the abs though? Can't remember seeing them in any of your comp photos even though your definitely lean enough.

Welcome back! Will be great to see the results of your offseason in a few months, we know you can bring the shreds!

Did you deload before starting Sheiko big fella? I jumped straight from one 10 week cube cycle to the next without properly deloading and had the same issues, required a further 5 days off to...

Good! I hope you don't feel bad for doing those either, they were definitely required.

I think if you take the reigns yourself, bring food back up a little bit and incorporate a refeed or two per...

Interesting!

So how many cals below maintenance do you believe you're currently at? I'm 11 weeks out and by no means going to achieve true stage conditioning, but if I beat my last showing and...

Good idea man cheers!

Bodybuilding is just a hobby dude, those other things are huge commitments, you've made the right choice!

Man! I'm up to 4 cups of instant coffee per day plus pre workouts, BCAA's for those super rough sessions where I've had little food prior to training. Respect for the lack of stims for the prep...

What Bob posted, your muscles don't have that fullness or pop to them and you're physique looks generally washed out compared to the pic on the right where you're vascular and full.

Lean but very very flat, you need a decent refeed! :)
