    I'd say to go into ketosis if you wanna come in shape at 4 weeks out and 11% bodyfat. Thats just my IMO

    Where is the cardio??? I'd start NOW, first thing in the morning empty stomach (sip on BCAAS if they are available, not protein shakes) and PWO. Hell possibly two-three hours after your last meal for a total of three times a day.

    im sorry i forgot to mention the cardio.

    on my high days i do incline walk for 30min (145-155bpm)
    after every workout i do 25min treadmill (145-155)
    and on my off days i do 30min eliptical (145-155bpm)

    should i increase it?
    how does my diet and workout look? do i need to add or change any exercise and do i need to subtract some cal

    Look up what a keto diet is, Dave Palumbos pre-contest keto diet might be a good idea to look at, you can Google that and should be able to locate it, I believe its actually here on this forum you just gotta search for it.

    I can't redo your diet for you. You got the right idea on how to diet but you need to eat less at your weight.

    At this point you should be almost in contest shape. But instead you are literally in offseason shape at 11%. I know I personally can get into contest shape while cycling carbs just takes longer, but ketosis as much as I hate it gets me leaner the fastest.

    Merely my suggestion.

    You workout is all over the place to me, where did you get that. Just go basic. You wanna train things twice a week: D1 quads/hams/calves, D2 chest/shoulders/trics, D3 back/bis, D4 day off, repeat.

    If you go into ketosis and do the diet cardio should be done at 115-130bpm for at least 30 minutes. Low intensity. At this point if I was you, I'd go into ketosis cardio 45 minutes first thing in the morning and then 30 min PWO. Then 10-12 days before the show maybe bum it up 3 with one last session at night.

    Carb up after 2 weeks on the diet, and then maybe once a week until the a day before the show and shit load.

    Maybe some of the more experience contest experts can come in here and give you better suggestions. I really don't know what I'd do at 4 weeks out and 11% bf.... that be a nightmare

    I'd go to another show but you said its a charity event so IDK.. Just do your best and work of your POSING!!!! Start watching tutorials and doing it all the time..... POSING POSING POSING!!!!!!!!!!
