Damn, you will have no problem reaching your goals. You have plenty of time. You are in great shape already. Your shoulders are looking thick my man. You don't have much lower back fat as well.

You're gonna be stacked at your contest, just try not to peak too soon. You'll be fine though.

Im just jealous of you and your conditioning... if its any consilation, that wasnt a MINIATURE daschund, it was a full size one. I felt I owed you that much.

No hard feelings?

It's all good bro. I'm dieting...so I'm gonna be bitchy...LOL

BTW I'm flattered that you're jealous, but I'm still pretty fat.

16 Weeks out

Starting the diet full speed today; the last week was an experimentation week with diet foods and supplements. I really took the last 3 days to figure out what foods were best and what supplements I can take in conjunction with each other, both with food and without. I seem to get light-headed with more than 2 green tea caps at once, so that's my limit, for now.

218.4 yesterday. This is a starting point for scale reading. I will not weigh myself very often, as bodyweight is not important to me at all this year. I am dieting to wherever my body looks the best.

Took pics today again. I'll post them up again shortly.

DREXX · 12-18-2004, 02:37 PM

You're looking awesome for 17 weeks out, cant wait to follow your progress bro!

If it's not hard it's not worth doing...

Pharm Animal · 12-18-2004, 04:14 PM

Thanks DREXX!

4 out of 6 meals done for the first precontest day. I've had an insanely full stomach all day. Did quads and low back today, successful with 315 for 10 deep reps, and then again for 6! Not bad considering I couldn't squat 135 about 1 month ago! It didn't affect my hernia one bit...but the leg extensions did a little.

My appetite is slowly but steadily improving over the week. I'm gonna need T-rex as an appetite suppressant soon enough! I've been strict so far, averaging 420 grams of protein, 160 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of fat...comes out to be just about 3,000 kcals daily. I love my "Frank's Red Hot" cayenne pepper sauce!

Well, Christmas is done with and I managed to stay on except for one calculated period of 3 hours to coincide with a cheat meal on christmas morning (the big breakfast!) I am proud that I've stayed so strict and am even more focused to achieve incredible fatloss on my diet! I'll have to skip pics this week and show some dramatic improvement on saturday.

Pharm Animal · 12-28-2004, 09:43 AM

I just found something that caught my eye

Florida just posted up their first show of the year at the NPC webpage...looks like there is one show, a National Qualifier, on the 12th of March. I will be 10 weeks out from this show on Saturday, the first of the year. This will give 5 weeks to prep, if I qualify, for the Jr. USA's in South Carolina, and if I don't, I will most likely do the Gold Cup in North Carolina on May 7. There is also a show in South Carolina the following weekend (May 14).

SDRaver · 12-29-2004, 10:22 AM

I posted this somwhere else but there a show in Ga around the same time frame also

The website says it's in March, no specific date yet though, and I'd love to only travel 100-200 miles instead of 560!

I'm bloated! Thanks to all of this food, fiber and gas in my stomach, I look like I'm gaining fat instead of losing it! The insanity!

SDRaver · 12-30-2004, 07:58 AM

Hey i start my CA course 2 days after the NC state show. have to make a descision soon. helly yeah that's a way shorter distance to drive.

Pharm Animal · 12-30-2004, 07:59 AM

My updated contest prep daily schedule looks like this:

5:00 morning supps (Lrex, GT, ALCAR, Aromasin, Nolva, Naproxen, Trex)
5:30 15 eggwhites, 1 yolk, 1/2 cup oats w/added psyllium husks
6:30 cardio: 30 min treadmill
8:30 8 oz chicken breast
12:00 8 oz chicken breast, green peas
3:00 8 oz chicken breast, corn
5:00 workout
6:00 10 oz beef, corn
9:00 8 oz chicken breast, green beans

I've been averaging 400-450 grams of protein, 150-180 grams of carbs, and 40-50 grams of fat per day. This is my second week coming to a close. The fibrous carb diet begins in 2 weeks, where I will substitute corn and peas with salads and california mix (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots).

Mr. B, what do ya think?

SDRaver · 12-30-2004, 08:10 AM

for my own knowledge, what's your reasoning for use of nolva along with Aromasin. I'm always learning new stuff on here and was curious

SD, I just want to ensure my estrogen levels are very insignificant. The 2 drugs working together seems to act synergystically. Other than that, I don't have scientific reasons...it just seems logical to take both.
