Same as above post. Spent the longest time thinking because I was eating 6 meals a day I was going to gain all this weight, but added almost nothing. Dropped it down to 4 and upped the calories by...

Thanks guys! Now that I have a better understanding of what works for my body, feel like this next year I'm going to have my best gains. And plan on competing in the NPC in men's physique next year...

Wanted to share my one year progress pics. Since beginning I've added about 20 lbs of lean muscle and majorly dropped BF. Long ways to go but one step closer to my goal

Ok thanks guys. I know a year is the most realistic but better to have big goals then none at all. I honestly believe with a year of solid training I can place every show

technically 176 but just bumped it up on my profile

Alright, thanks guys. Ultimate goal is to compete in physique so i'd like to be at about 190 at 5% BF. Still have a ways to go but seeing the gains so i'm happy

Really wanting to eventually compete and could use some criticism on what I need to fix.
Pics I have posted I'm about 9% but usually maintain at about 7 or 8%

Don't really go hand-in-hand, but by doing both it may open up more doors.

Definitely, and it can only make you better in the future. Best of luck

That is true, didn't think of it that way. If he does compete, he might not win but he will have a better understanding of how/were to improve

It is really going to depend on what your starting point is and what your body is capable of. Some are going to shed the fat quicker than others. It is really going to vary from person to person

I personally believe in consistently lifting heavy regardless of the event. Your strength might begin to drop some as you cut though so just be prepared.

Looking good but i'd agree, go for 2014. I'm a bit larger than you and am in the same position. I would add on some more size throughout this year then cut a few months prior to your first show....

I like 6-10 but most will recommend 8-12. Your ideal rep range will be found through time in the gym. Certain body parts may grow better with different rep ranges than others.

This. Nowhere near fat. Need to add on some more size, not the other way around.

Looking good man

Definitely possible. Tough task but can certainly be done.

Go on a clean bulk and once you add some mass on then you can focus on cutting. Forget about this summer and focus on next one. You start bulking probably now then cut some by next summer you will...

Yeah, get the diet down, cut down the body fat and then slow/clean bulk
