countdown..4 weeks out..i can now see veins on my upper abs(a little bit), lats(a litle bit),arms(a lot),calves(a little bit) and a bit on my quads...but i'm not sure where i'm standing now in terms of contest bf..i've been doing 3 days morning cardio on empty per week..i haven't a recent pic..will get some soon..but i guessed you guys have seen pics of me on my avatar..that was me about 2-3 weeks ago..my prob is..i'm always thinking i'm not ripped enough..i'm going to use another 1-2 weeks to get rid of as much leftover fat i have, and start to experiment with my final prep..so that i'm left with 2-3 weeks to fine tune anything that goes wrong..right now,i'm not sure if it is more of fat or water that i have on my lower abs..so i'm at a crossroad now..don't wana lose too much size just to get rid of a little fat there..i'm looking tighter and my weight has somewhat maintained..which i know its good..i know its hard for you guys to judge without any pics..to give you a rough idea....here it goes..whenever i force air into my stomach to create a bloated abs look...i can still see my abs..and they look like they are going to burst from my waist..so i'm unsure it i should stay at the cardio intensity i;m doing now..3 days 40min each 70% max hrt rate..and is it better for me to carb load on a non workout day(cardio day) or a workout day? i carb load bcos i removed my cheat meals to replace with clean carbs..sorry for the extreme long thread...any advices appreciated lots!
