As of 4/28, I'm 7 weeks out from my 1st competition, and I'm feeling doubtful about actually registering. i'm 5'11" 186, 45 min cardio daily (only for 2 weeks thus far), abs every other day, very low carbs (appx 50g/day), 1-2 gallon H20/day, very patient wife I just got back in the gym around thanksgiving but i've been consistant. For my 1st show i'm not trying to blow the competition away; just want to have fun, learn, and at least look like i belong on stage. The pics aren't that good but it's what i have right now. 1 is relaxed front, other is flexed abs n bi. Should I keep on the path and compete in 7 weeks, or should I just wait til next year and return to bulking phase? Thanks for input! (profile pic is from last summer, not current)

If you want to become a better athlete I suggest you just go on with the show. 7 weeks is a long time I've went form 18% to 4.5% in 6 weeks & 2 days (44 days) in the past, but you really have to go hard/strict. I was doing dual cardio the entire time also 6x/week AM fasted & PM with a hybrid carb cycling / keto diet I created (ccKeto). I wouldn't suggest going too crazy and burn yourself out, rather do as much as you can handle so you can learn from the experience. You'll take away a lot of valuable information to help better prepare you for your next show. I usually recommend at least 12 Ideally 16 weeks out for your first show and to stive to get near your target body fat around 4 weeks out. I think you still have time to come in looking good if you give it 100%. Also don't use any scale for body fat it's not going to be accurate and if anything misleading. Try to find someone with a good set of calipers & experience who can test you each time for the sake of consistency. Next show I would suggest utilizing a method such as DEXA, BodPod, or Hydro-static at the start of your prep and potentially again with about 5-6 weeks left.
