Jaime, I'm still following a power/hypertrophy split. Now my rest day on Sunday - this is only from the weights right? I am still doing my normal cardio???
I'd taper it down just a little...
Maybe...60-100 min...again, the more depleted you are, the less vascular and full you'll look, and the more precise the carb up will need to be in order to fill you out.

Unless you faint, puke, or die....keep walking

Woot ! Looking awesome here. So ripped. Still lots of cardio. I was going to ask you what your macros and calories were. Def need to fill in at end of week. You'll be amazed at how the carb intake b4 comp will change your look. Are you doing a fat uptake too? Like cheese cake the night b4? I could never do it as my tummy would probably reject it after weeks of strict dieting. My special food for day of comp is PB sandwiches with honey and banana. Also, Snickers bars are awesome. Need lots of energy on day of comp. But just follow whatever Jaime recommends and also listen to your body. (TIP: bring a bar/snack with you backstage in case you have to wait a long time before being called out. I've been caught more than once waiting back stage too long with my snacks too far away in a change room. Not good.)
First off, I'd really like to say thanks to everyone who's been following my recent journey and taken the time to encourage me. Your words have helped keep me on track. You guys are the best!

Looking back, it has been a long road. A lot of trial and error along the way too.....but I think I finally found out what works for me.

Sounds like a plan Jaime.

Thanks for the tips Anne Marie. Prior to this weekend my diet looked like this:
75g carbs, 210g pro, 32g fat - I was really dragging. It's amazing how good I feel today with some oats in me. We'll see how I look tomorrow. That will dictate how the rest of the week will go until I add in the carbs again on Friday.
awesome pics bro! Is your wife going to the show next week?
Thanks Brian. So far I have 6 family members coming to the pre-judging. She'd like to go to the night show, but it might be hard with Nathan being only 13 weeks old.

Yeah that is completely understandable... Well I will have my video camera with me for the night show so your family will be able to see it. Hopefully I have a clear view to see you.

Wow, that would be excellent. Thanks for doing this Brian!

Not a big deal man. I'm going to be there anyways. Like I said, I hope I have a good view. I have seen some videos where you can barely see anything. But I think with 3rd row it should be alright!

Very interesting. That doesn't seem like alot of fat! You, lean machine!

I know this is the right thing to do, but will be super hard to actually do it. I haven't taken a whole day off for what seems like a year.

It isn't a lot of fat. Unfortunately this was the only way for me to get lean. The original lean mass diet I was on had me taking in over 100g of fat....and the result....I got fat. Totally screwed me up. It took about a year of dieting to finally get to this point.

Friday will be really easy. You are gonna be extremely busy packing, posing, shaving, tanning, etc. Thursday you could do 20-30 minutes of cardio if you want, but I would just let the legs rest.

I had a pretty successful carb-up this past weekend. I didn't push it too much so if I duplicate it this weekend I should be ok. Now it's time to scale back the carbs, start my depletion workouts and try not to psych myself out. It's down to the final week.....zoinks!

You're probably right about that Paul. I have no idea what I've gotten myself into, do I...

Honestly it's probably been over a year where I've done absolutely no training of any sort. It's that guilt thing....

Dawn, it's so good to have you here for my contest. It means a lot to me to have you cheer me on (seeing that your contest prep inspired me to take the plunge myself).
I hope that I can live up to your expectations and do some damage this weekend!
