UPDATE : In the interests of remembering what the hell I did, and for anyone else that is actually interested, this is my 4 weeks out update.
I think i just scraped under !0% bf, started Adrol at 100mg ED, 50mg AM and PM, ate at maintenace BEFORE the gym, including two bowls of Granola plus egg whites, lunch consisted of beans, egg, chicken on toast ( gluten free bread - drop next time ), jelly, sin free cake, a Bounty, the resultys were awesome and perfect for a show, so thats the final week getting there - lots of food - sugar / chocolate before the show, gonna drop water and fuids for 24 hours, maybe add red wine in, Mon-thurs low carb days (<100g), Fri - sun to be experimented with gonna taper up (150/200/300)or hit three days the same - 300g fri sat sun.
Mon to thurs : Calories bumped UP, not so much focus on burning fat ( maybe i should ), want to fill out and harden up, if i can recreate last sunday on stage i will be happy !
430am 75g Granola 200g egg whites
730am 60g oats, 30g whey isolate, 200g egg whites
945am mackeral in sauce
1200 tuna salad mayo
1500 banana
1700 2 scoops of whey
1900 chicken veg
2100 50g nuts / 80g choc protein dessert ( either / or / both )
Cardio relaxed a little as it rained and im knackered ! will bump up again next week
Clen lost its potency - waiting for Keto to arrive - need sleep too.
Training twice a day still , loving it and im sure im putting size on.

In my bro science type way, I fluked it last week, and now I'm trying to retrace my steps, I think I was low carb mon - tues, same weds but no cardio, low thurs fri, starting loading fri night, loaded all day sat and Sunday morning - basically maintenance cals before show time and included chocolate !
So I'm going with 100g carbs mon - thurs, 175 fri, 250 sat, 300 sun morning with chocolate. That is this weeks plan. Should lose a bit of fat mon to thurs too. My thoughts are that, I cannot absorb all that carbs at once and I need to load them up gradually.
Last weeks big deviation was 2/3am granola ! Going to swap this for protein shake with almond milk, this should reclaim 50g of carbs a day.
Shit, def looking solid as fvck!
Way lean too man
Keep at it
Great work buddy looking ripped to the boneQuote:

Good lad ;-)) sounds like a plan, just keep tightening up the diet and train harder and harder, zero alcohol. so you're competing in the UKBFF in Leeds in 31st August ?Quote:

I don't want to tempt fate but they also sent me forms for the British Classic a month later in pudsey, with a first timers class, I hope i do well enough to get asked back for that, then I can have another month at dieting and see how much further I really can go as far as dripping bf and gaining muscle, one problem tho, I've only got enough gear to last up to 31st lol.
Yeah the alcohol will be the hardest part as it comes hand in hand wi rugby lol il be strong yeah august is when i want to be ready for pal so plenty of time for improvement diet is going well since u got me onto protein yog thats what i have now if i fancy sommat naughty so thanks for that agreed on the calipersand shit as they need calibrating etc and i defo think you will get thru pal no sweat comparedto alot of people i seen going for same show they aint even close so stay positive pal and if u need subbing some gear i have a few "spare" bottles lying around :-)Quote:

Evening workout :
10x10 70kg flat bench
3 x flat bench to failure
3 x incline bench to failure

10x10 lat pull downs wide grip
3 x failure
3 x under hand grip

Felt as big and as solid as a house.
Or like the sandman from the comic book films lol.
Melted some fat off last night and this morning, HIIT weights in the evening, 5x5 in the morning, 2 cardio sessions, on gold standard when a hunger pang strikes in the night( with almond milk ) and some cashews.
Pic is fresh outta bed, no pump, no water no food.
Nice, looking solid. I can't wait to start gear , just 10 more days .
Thanks bro, I'm putting weight on if anything lol.Quote:

You look awesome!! Your hard work and dedication is paying off bigtime. See it through and you will be a proud person and know what you are capable of. Respect.
Cheers man ! Good words you have spoken, just what I needed to hear tbh. Staying dedicated and true, not overspilling or overloading on simple carbs is my mission right now.Quote:

This morning, not feeling as "tight" and solid as I had hoped tbh
Looking solid as f*** FQ... I'm just about ready to start hitting some volume(nothing too crazy but next wk I want to see what going to true failure would be like on a deload wk ;)).
Your delts are getting some serious striations(and quads got those veins coming in nice) keep smashing it! I'd say your at or near 8% if not a lil lower(if your obliques and serratus can pop that will make you look much more lean too!
Great work!
Thanks Nach ! I've gone crazy this week - 5x5 every morning A-B-A-B-A then 10x10 in the evening a-b-c-a-b-c, cardio to and from work on push bike, fecking drained I am ! If I was measuring bodyfat with calipers, fat on lower abs is at an all time low, so I know I'm in unchartered territory. Two days rest is definitely calling. I limited myself to 175g carbs yesterday as part of the carb up protocol, but today I've gone mad and reached a whopping 420g carbs, I'm just hoping it fills up muscles and glycogen stores first before being stored as fat tissue. I am looking freaky I'll be honest, veins are awesome lol. So I'm ok on restricted carbs but the halfway point is a killer, once I start I just can't stop, a real test of mental strength.Quote:

I know they would have to drop(obviously to deplete my glycogen stores first) if you can stay on top of your depleted glycogen stores - they shouldn't get stored! How long do you have left big guy?Quote:

Two weeks left mate. Having two days total rest this weekend, thoughts being muscles grow when rested and less is more.
Carbs are a double edged sword for me, once I mastered them and understood the effects they have on my body the magic began to happen.
I'll be honest, I'm getting sloppy, I'm eating way to much milk chocolate and granola / flapjack bars with too much sugar in. It's not sticking as fat tissue as such. Veins have popped out. See pic of legs now lol.
what does your calf routine look like?Quote:

After playing around with carbs, carbing up protocols, trying to get "harder" dryer looking with more food, iv come to the conclusion that less is more ( in terms of conditioning ), yes I can look fuller albeit forfeit in sharpness.
Looking great MR FQ!
Look at them vains! good luck in your comp!
