I think that I also rushed my routine to the music. I had to make up poses to finish with the music. LOL
I would like to thank everyone for their support. It was a learning experience. God willing, I will be back in 2019 with a new and improved version.
No cheat meal last night, although I did have some beer. LOL. I havent had a cheat meal in 6 months and it is about time for a pizza.
I took today off and I am staring back at the gym tomorrow. I have 2 more competitions in July. I am going to try packing on as much size as I can.

Thanks everyone!

Yes. I should be posting them soon.
Well, I was told to eat dirty before the show on the carb up. It was against my principles. I did eat a little dirty after the show and the following morning I had pancakes and syrup. I think eating the dirty carbs played a role. I also am going to start a day early on the carbs. That will make me

! A week of low/ no carbs is killer. People ask how you feel and the look on your face says it all LOL

I don’t know about the eating dirty carbs but agree starting the carb up a day early based on what you have said and the picture of the day after.

Here are the pics. They were taken during my music routine and I rushed it so they are not the best pics where I held the pose for 3 seconds.

You can change your face. So don’t beat yourself up.

Back was shredded.

**charger69** · 05-10-2018, 07:06 PM

Can someone help me with what I need to do with my biceps? I do not know how to explain it but you can see from the pic. It is long but not full. Ghetto boyd has a full round bicep. Mine seems longer. I do not think that it is the peak, it is more of a rounder/ fuller bicep.

Preacher curls first every workout to complete failure. Also doesnt hurt to inject them before hand.

Five set minimum imo.

Killer!

Let's see an even better charger in 2 months

**charger69** · 05-13-2018, 07:40 PM

I gained 15 lbs and I can still see my abs. I am very happy even though I cannot explain it.
All of a sudden, I am like Obs- I just cannot eat enough. This is not me. I used to have to force myself to eat.
This was my first time taking T3. Could it be that? I am clean of everything however I am still having night sweats. Wtf?
I took a week off of cardio and afternoon workouts that I am starting tomorrow.

I am currently jamming chicken and rice into my mouth hating my existence lol!

Dont fall in love with the scale like I did.
I am literally backing my tren down because I am tired of losing fat. I feel like muscle is going with it.

Appreciate that. Here's the current shape of it as of a few weeks ago. They're hanging in all things considered.

Tell you what Obs, when that one tore (50% plus muscle tear) I was in the basement and apparentely screamed and didn't know it. My son was two floors up in his room with headphones and heard it and ran down to the basement. Felt like getting hit with a baseball bat and machete at the same time. Only way I can describe it. I train them like a pussy now. Real slow with half the weight and a lot of eccentric's.
