:nice: based on today’s pictures, I get one finally cheat meal before the show tonight, and we’re increasing my daily carbs by 50g again. I may actually “grow into the show” and be heavier, but leaner, than I am right now with the extra calories and our plan for working them in. I’m fucking pumped. Being so far below the weight limit was getting into my head, but knowing I look that good already and may even put a pound or two on in the next two weeks while still dropping some fat has me feeling awesome.

Seven days out. Got my “peak week” protocol from my coach yesterday.

We’re gonna start carbing up tomorrow. I’ll add two cups of rice on top of what I’m alreay doing. Thursday I’ll add two more. Depending on how I look waking up Friday morning we may add two more. Friday at 6pm I’ll take half of a diuretic to flush the water from all the extra carbs. Another one of those at midnight. Saturday I’ll wjae up and half my normal breakfast, and then the rest of the day I’ll be eating rice cakes with a tiny bit of peanut butter very hour or two to keep my muscles/glycogen stores full. I’ll have another half of a diuretic on hand to use that morning if needed before I go on stage.

Between yesterday and Wednesday I’ll train my full body, Thursday-Saturday no training or cardio. I’ll come off all drugs after Wednesday too. Fucking excited.

Dropped another .8lbs last week for yesterday’s check-in, but no pictures for you until the day of the show. A few will go up on IG if you want to see what’s happening over the next week.

I know I said no pics this week, but fuck it, I can’t get over how full/pumped my back is after tonight’s workout. This is just day one if carb loading.. I’m gonna look retarded in 5 days as long as we don’t push too hard and overdo them.

Today’s the day. Sitting at the venue waiting to get my second coat of tan. Starving, thirsty, a little anxious, but happy to be here.

Took first for my class! Second place in the overall for classic physique. Fucking pumped.

Time to take a few years to grow and then I’ll be back to claim the overall title.

Yeah we dieted for exactly 16 weeks. My starting weight was an even 220, and the morning of the show I was 185.6.. so 34.4lbs in 4 months. I didn’t realize how different I looked until a few days before the show when I got my beard all cleaned up andncould see how skinny my face looked.

Brad mentioned my transformation, so thought it’d be :neat: to compile the whole thing in one post...

Day I reached out to hire Jasen as my coach. 12/18, I weighed 201.4. I’d been dieting myself down from 210ish for a month or so leading up to this and thought I was looking lean:
Image

My plan started with him on 12/22, and my first check in with him was done on 12/30, weight had moved up to 202.
Image

16 weeks in on 4/13 I was up at my heaviest weight ever with 227.6lbs:
Image

We started a mini-cut from there, and in 9 weeks on 6/15 I was down to 211.4:
Image

Spent the next 8 weeks building a little more muscle and I was up to 219.4 on 8/11:
Image

That’s when prep started. Spent the next 16 weeks cutting calories and increasing cardio. 185.6 the morning of the show. This is the last “check-in” pic I sent my coach the morning of the show before we met up:

Thanks man!

Definitely been eating. First meal post-show was those two muffins. Normally that would have filled me up, but I was still ravenous after. Got a BBQ Bacon Ranch burger from Lazy Dog Cafe, not my first choice on places to go, but it was easy to get a last minute reservation at, and I didn't want everyone to be forced to eat pizza with me if they didn't want that since pizza was my first choice. Had an ice cream sandwich with donuts for the "bread" after dinner.

Yesterday I had more muffins, then ate mostly the same stuff I was during prep, but in larger quantities, and then crushed pizza, bread sticks, and fried macaroni balls from my favorite pizza place out here.

Coworker just brought me in some homemade brownies as a congratulations, so I'll be using those pre and post workout this week for extra carbs. Maybe sneak one here and there not around my workouts too :fatty:

Hahaha yeah, this is definitely a look that you peak at for a few days at best and then start softening up a bit.
