Ari's CKD Contest Prep - Who's in??

[DJaRiHardstyle]

Well, I decided to move my contest prep thread into the keto section, as my diet has become CKD, no longer moderate-carb, low-fat carb-cycling.
Introduction
I'm 17 years old, a senior in high school. All my life I've been the skinny kid, I know, I know; cliche bb beginnings! Up until junior year, I was stick scrawny, not an ounce of muscle to be found. I don't have any clinical weight problems, I'm just naturally extremely ectomorphic. I've never been into sports, excluding some spotty obsessions with basketball and running that never really lasted long. I got into bodybuilding after meeting my step uncle, who was a huge name in bodybuilding and is still considered very respectable in the old school bodybuilding community. I already had a small interest in building muscle when I first met him, and his help and guidance along with my growing desire to achieve a new physique happened to be the perfect equation. After a bulk full of misinformation and a lot of "winging it", I decided to begin dieting for a contest early this summer. As I lost some weight on a cut that was just as full of misinformation as my bulk, I realized I had nowhere near the muscularity I needed to step on stage, even as a lightweight. So I spent around 4 months dirty bulking before I started my pre-contest cutting cycle in late October. Starting dieting at 18 weeks out, I kept in contact with my step uncle and still do, as he helps me set up diet plans, training routines, and cardio. I'm now 6 weeks, 6 days out of that very same contest, and after having experimented with different types of dieting, I am finding more and more how helpful a cyclical ketogenic diet is for me. I slowly moved my way into a Palumbo style diet last week, and after deciding the one meal carb up was uncomfortable and awkward for me, although it certainly worked, and after listening to my step uncle's advice, I've come to realize CKD is a much better way to go.

Training Routine

5-day split with lagging bodyparts obv getting most attention

Monday - Arms and Abs
I throw in lateral raises to keep my lagging middle delts stimulated

Tuesday - Hamstrings-dominant Legs days
Higher reps, lower weight, to get pump - hamstrings are superior to my quads

Wednesday - Back, Rear Delts, Traps, Abs
upper back is my best bodypart, so I put emphasis on lower lats, lower back, and traps

Thursday - rest day

Friday - Chest, Delts, Abs
My chest is not a great bodypart, but it's not a huge concern for me, I keep delts in here for continual stimulation

Saturday - Quads-dominant Legs
As my last workout, I make sure to go very high volume, bringing near all sets to complete muscular failure, incorporating dropsets, stripsets, supersets, etc.

Conclusion
So guys, I'd be grateful if you follow me in this journey to my first competition.... enjoy!!!!

Attached are two pictures of my arms pump at the gym, and one of the delicious ground turkey pepperoni sliders with asparagus I had today.... a nice alternative to boring crumbled ground turkey.... no carbs, high in fat, and delicious! Today was my first day going without carbs after training, I decided the 50g of insulin-spiking carbs in my Torrent was only working against my mission to enter ketosis.... so now it's just two scoops Universal Ultra Whey Pro!

Time to go make my last meal!
