Dude, unless the photos lie, you're already super ripped for 5 weeks out. Go easy on the dieting. Don't waste all that muscle mass!

thanks for your compliments... however I still have more bodyfat I need to lose. I need striated glutes, and more separation between my obliques and abs... as well as more separation in my hamstrings. Ripped doesn't cut it if you want to win... freakish is a must

I think you are right on target Layne. Once the striations start appearing everywhere, people will be like, "I guess he knew what he was doing."

Looks like you're dialing it in just right.......

Hey Layne, just curious, which tanning product are you planning on using. Have you been going to tanning beds or is the slight tan you have now from the sun.

**str8flexed** · 05-15-2004, 11:12 AM

it is from the sun. I am going to use pro tan for the week before my contest and then dream tan #2 the day of as a bronzer.

When you're dieting down so much, how greatly does it affect your strength or your energy? Do you feel hungry often? Just curious, and keep up the good work!

my hunger pangs haven't been too bad this time. I attribute this to dieting very slowly and only losing 1-1.5 lbs per week instead of 2-2.5 lbs per week. In addition, I have lost very little strength and actually gained strength on some lifts. Alot of that comes from having the right mental attitude... a lot of people concede strength loss as a part of dieting but I refuse to do so.

Dont be afraid, I am not going to embarrass you in front of your friends in the gym (just kidding) LOL. Congratulations in your graduation.

One point:
Work your back a little bit more, it need more attention. Otherwise good luck in your competiton.

Im leaving for deployment in 3 weeks. Maybe we can meet and workout when I returned in 6 months
