I will do a 10-day deload and then start with prep for competitions in late summer/fall.

Here are a few pictures of current conditioning:

You're in great condition to start prep!

NPC conditioning even before starting prep, lmao.

Holy shi*t, wish I looked that good in the "off-season". You are my biggest motivation, Jure.

Being a good representative of natural bodybuilding is something that I strive for and being someone's motivation means a lot to me. Thank you!

I have never started prep so lean and so strong and it will definitely be an interesting experience.

Thanks and thanks!

The lowest I've been was 200 / 170-200 / 20 or circa 1600-1700kcal. I am currently at 200 / 400-450 / 50 or circa 3000 kcal daily while being slightly less active.
