As Bandar and Chris requested


I tried to upload the comparison images, but there's something wrong. the damn thing just fucking shrinks them... anyway, i'll just post the two weeks out pics
I have some bad news... atleast for me it's fucking bad... they changed the schedule. i just got back from the coach's gym and he showed me the new schedule... basically i have 3 weeks instead of 5 between the contests... well, i guess i'm fucked this year...

Now I Know Why I Hate Contest Prep

because i was cutting carbs all the time... anyway, this week i switched to a keto diet (300 gr protein, 95 gr fat, 50 gr carbs total)... and since i was doing this, i decided to cut my workouts from 5 to 3 per week, and do 2 cardio sessions per day... anyway, this is my 3rd day and i feel and look like total shit...

The diet i've been following the first 4 weeks was wonderful... i looked like shit because ... well, i started out looking like a bigger pile of shit... but it was fucking working, and great at that. it's too late to go back now since next week is depletion and loading and i have to weigh 90 kg on wednesday evening for weigh-ins... so, i'm just gonna have to stick with this til i drop more weight... no more low carb crap from now on...

carb cycling is the way to go for me... my downfall with shelby was the carb sources... with shelby, i was basically eating plain oats, potatoes, brown rice, and a ton of vegetables for my carb sources... egg whites, chicken breasts, and whey for protein sources... These sources (chicken, plain oats, brown rice, string beans and shit) do not react well with me... I react much better with a much higher ratio of simple carbs, and beef instead of chicken...

I had no problems whatsoever with my diet (Shelby's carb sources caused a lot of bloating and gas that smelled god awful) and it was giving me great results...
Another downfall regarding traditional carb cycling is that the method makes no sense to me... (high, med, low, med ,low... blah blah blah)... what i found worked best and wouldn't fuck my stomach up is to go down day by day (very high, high, med, low/med, low)...

Anyway, i will go back to my diet after the contest but up the cardio and double my fat burners.
The details of the diet? well, here it is:

meal 1:
3 whole eggs, 6 egg whites, 2 slices fat free cheese, 3/4 cup plain oats, 2 tbsp honey

Meal 2:
200 grams 93% lean beef, 1 slice fat free cheese, 1 burger bun, 1 pack of cranberry and honey oats or maple and brown sugar oats.

Meal 3
2 scoops whey protein, 2 packs oats (again, maple and brown sugar or cranberry, whichever is available)

Meal 4
2 scoops whey, 500 ml grape juice

Meal 5
100 grams 93% lean beef, 1 whole egg, 4 egg whites, 1 slice fat free cheese, 1.5 cups white rice

This is saturday's diet...
Sunday i take out the rice with meal 5
Monday i take out the oats with the protein shake
Tuesday i take out the oats with the burger
Wednesday i take out the oats with meal 1

also, thrusday and friday are cheat days... but my stomach is so small by then i just eat two meals and a couple of scoops of ice cream (2500 to 3000 cals worth total) if ican... usually it's just one meal and some ice cream

Update

Sorry if I haven't been up to date with the posting and shit... i think it's been around 3 weeks since i last posted anything on the blog... don't get excited either, this is just your usual old boring update post.

well, weight is fluctuating between 93.5 and 91 kg these days... i've been dieting for 4 weeks now (technically 5, but the first week was sort of a carb up). waist went down (as of last thursday) to 33.25", and hopefully it'll be below 33" when i measure it tomorrow... basically i've lost around 2 inches in 4 weeks.

I have 2 more weeks to go for the first contest, which i'll look like a flaming bag of shit in. so, i'll cut my carbs out starting this saturday and try to drop some weight and drop another 1/2" off the waist in those 2 weeks.

I'm glad to say that i'm a little bigger than last year... probably gained 4-5 lbs of muscle in the past year... so that's good news (arms are a little over 18.3")... i'll probably be contest ready in 7 more weeks, when the time comes for the 3rd contest of the season, which will give me around 2 weeks to load up for the overall. the goal this year is place higher than 5th place (last years placing) in the overall... after that i'll just go on a balanced diet and cruise for a while.

I've taken pics at 6 weeks out, 4 weeks out, and tomorrow at 2 weeks. will post a comparison in a couple of weeks to show the progress just for shits and giggles
