Thanks! I always have a problem with not been able to use fake tan. I feel that I never look dark enough on stage to show my definition under the lights. The Japanese who compete are naturally darker...

I'm in Chiba. I won the 75kg and over division last year but got 2nd overall. Trying again this year. Would like to do Kanto as well but that is in Tochigi and the day before.

Looked great! Were you able to using fake tan or was that against the rules as the Tokyo Open is JBBA affiliated? Will you be competing in the Kanto BB champs in July?

Good Luck. Looking great for 13 weeks out. Keep us updated with some more pics.

I actually did them for the first time in over ten years tonight and I found it hit mainly my upper chest with a little bit of tris. I kept my hips low and my elbows narrow.

Couldn't agree more. Inspiring stuff.

My wife actually likes it when I go on a cut for a few months as a lot of money is saved. Compared to meats and fish, chicken tenders and breasts are very cheap here.

I haven't read that thread, but I seem to recall that he wrote somewhere else that if you have taken in a lot of carbs in the pre-workout meal then there is not so much need to also take in a lot of...

I would drink about six to eight cups of black coffee a day and have been doing so for years. I drink it for the taste, not to wake me up. People are employed especially to make it in my company so...

No worries. For the diet I started at 17 weeks out and my macros were:

Protein 230
Carbs 250
Fat 46

At 5 weeks out till end my macros basically stayed at:

Protein 225
Carbs 200

As I mentioned in the first post, the rules stated that you could not use any body coloring or oil. As I am white, it is very hard to reach a dark competition color through just tanning in the sun...

Have never heard of the stuff, but I am definitely going to look into it. Thanks for that.

Thanks for your comments. You are one of the people whose size and conditioning I strive to emulate as you are tall like myself.

I have thought about it a million times over as to why I start...

You are right, the other guy who is 46 was in the best condition I had seen him. I think as you get older the skin becomes paper thin more easily as he had veins everywhere. However, I lost on the...

Here are some photos from comp I just entered. I got 2nd overall. Will have to strive harder for next year. On a side note, I am a bit light on color as you are not allowed to use any type of body...

I am very knowledgable on rice given I live in Japan and eat it every day and use it in my prep.

This is my guess for 200g of cooked rice

For the first 2 years that I　competed I was on low carbs and had a hard job walking upstairs when going to clients towards end of prep. However, for the last 2 years I have now switched to very low...

Thanks for kind words of encouragement. Don't have any more pics right now. Should get some more when I go back to the gym.
The federation is JBBF. The show is a prefectorial show similar to a...

Thanks. I agree with you totally in hindsight. I will definitely try to bend the legs more next time. I felt like I was going lowish in the side shots at the time, but when I look at some of the...

Thanks Whomper. I was really pleased with my conditioning considering I did almost zero cardio this time. I was fully prepared to do cardio at some point but I kept dropping a pound a week so I...
