Looking good mate v nice shape. Impressive.

Inspired by dead lift vid gonna start hitting these hard , back width is good but always feel I could do with more thickness.

On the rice and potatoes you saying it gives a diff look, I find to much rice makes me v bloaty and shitty, but endless potatoes don't harm me.

Interesting on the rice VS potatoes.

Thanks regarding comment!
Shape is #1 in bb especially when there are size constraints (when winners are drug tested everyone is going to be smaller....well at this kind of level obviously some doping will go on but nothing like on the IFBB international tested stage haha).
 
Ah mate I hear you on the hunger and sleep issues. Maybe try either having a big cheat before bed or maybe having a mediocre one before bed and if you wake up in the middle of the night smash some high calorie stuff like a few tablespoons nut butter and some ice cream or something.

I found doing this during Prep really helped. I'd wake up starving, smash a ton of calories and then quickly drift back Into the deepest sleep ever. Was like paradise! I'd wake up fully energised with a smile on my face :)

Ah some nights are just like that all part of it.
I am actually over due a cheat as supposed to have one weekly and last one was 9 days ago.

Just talking to last years champion of the show I am doing and he is doing it.
TBF his package is way better than any thing I have brought before but hey what's the point in competing if you don't have competition!

Without benchmarks, no one knows how far they can go.
Look at Bannister and the 4-minute mile.
As soon as he did it, lots more started breaking the previously unbreakable barrier.
So, if this guy's physique is akin to a 4 minute mile, you'll benefit, IMO.
 
Trained chest lots of drop sets and stuff not very heavy for my standards but the others had to reduce weights after me so felt good....especially out lifting a guy that came 5th at USA's a month ago.
Cheat meal has been outlined for me (so I don't gorge lol) 1-2 burgers and fries from 5 guys and frozen yogurt so will do double cheese burger, half a fries and frozen ben n jerries yogurt desert.
There's about 8-10lb to come off until I am in real contest shape so will continue to grind away...
 
Trained legs today and finally was beaten by training 3 out of 4 of my partners (300lb strongman and two heavy weight bb's). Was keeping up on all until it came down to a big ass drop set on the leg press. 8 reps per drop was the goal but I only managed 7/6/8/8...not far off but gut wrenching all the same haha.

All going well.
I will do both pro shows held by this fed as they're one week apart.
For the first show I will drive.
Which means 8 hours driving on Friday, compete Saturday then drive 3 hours, Sunday drive 5 hours.
The following week I will take a plane which cuts it down to 20 minute drive to airport, 90 minute flight followed by a ten minute drive...much nicer haha

Thought I may as well start one of these again as they seem pretty popular.

Training: push/legs/pull rest days when needed.
I was doing fortitude for the past 5 weeks but now I am too destroyed after the workouts to do my job (run gym, train people)

Supplements: pre workout (nothing crazy just some nootropics and caffeine), greens supplement, bcaa, creatine

Sorry for dropping in so late here, Con. (Been moving into a new house and busy as all get out.)

Just wanted to ask - I think you started FT on Tier III, right from the get-go, right?... (Why not drop down a Tier a/o cruise?...)

My diet is now different (a friend of mine does it for me so I don't need to think about it and can focus on other things) and the way meals are set up (carbs spread throughout the day) would not work well for FT (I was relying on a very large PWO meal to power through clients/gym work in the evenings after my FT sessions). So for the remainder of my contest diet I am just training with the various bodybuilders in my gym (usual body part splits so not overly destroyed pwo).

Once the diet is over I will be able to place a lot more food PWO.
At that stage it will be back to tier 3.
I really get on well with tier 3 when calories are a touch higher than atm.
The cruise is key and anyone that might say they don't require one every 6 weeks or so is IMO not training hard enough!

P.S. I had one of my bodybuilding clients purchase your book to use during his off season about 3 weeks ago and he loves it!
 
189.8lb starting to get some where:)
Macros are still 290p 75f 200c (counting veggie carbs)

Con,

Makes sense, my man. Square peg in a round hole at this time point, it sounds. Either way, no point in trying to work out a new approach DURING prep. Good call, IMO.

Yes, that cruise has to happen, for sure. :)

(Glad your client digs the book. I think I'm getting a lot of folks buying it just for the info, as much as the actual program. :) )

(Will be watching the thread. KICK ASS!!!!)
