I've picked up a new job and as a result will not be competing in 3 weeks in St. Pete. I will still be doing the Hurricane Bay though so as of now I am just under 6 weeks out!

AM Weight: 194.4 lbs

Started my new macros yesterday, and also joined up at Crunch Fitness on Friday which from what I can tell is a great gym at a really good price.

Trained chest and hit 25...

New macros starting Saturday (5 and 8 weeks out)

5 Days at 250P/150C/70F
2 Days at 250P/300C/70F (This will be Tuesday and Friday)

Like I said in my last post I'm cutting out the "cheat" meal...

I think you're right though...had my last "cheat meal" on Tuesday. From here on out I'll just have 2 higher carb days rather than a cheat meal every 6 days.

Awesome log! I just realized you're in Tampa too...I moved here back in October. What gym are you training at?

Thanks man! Personally I'd lower my protein a little bit from where it is pre-contest, and follow that up with higher carbs and fats.

I would split up 4,500 kcals something like this: 300g...

Officially hitting a warm-up show!

In 6.5 weeks I'll be competing as a light-heavyweight at the St. Pete Muscle Classic. It's a level II show promoted by IFBB pro Mark Antonek. I have no doubts...

Thanks for the compliment. I guess I just keep it trimmed with a buzzer...then come show time my gf does the dirty and shaves me up

:-) Been watching all your videos they crack me up. To put it in your words you're already skinned rabbit lean...September 21st won't know what hit it

Shredded wheat man especially for 8 weeks out. Helps motivate me during my prep now, so thank you for that!

Thanks man. Checked out your thread..some serious numbers being thrown around there! I'll definitely keep checking in

Trained a little differently than normal yesterday and actually really liked it. A bit higher intensity...I trained chest, triceps, and shoulders and threw in a little work with the...

Adding in 20-30 mins of cardio a few times a week wouldn't hurt you, and certainly wouldn't cause you to lose muscle. You look right on track in the picture but it's better to be show-ready a couple...
