Whats up everyone, just checking in to let you know how things are going. Met with my prep coach on Friday, weight is steady at 204.2lbs but I lost almost one precentage point in bodyfat since I last saw her, my bf is down to 7.1%. Posed for a half hour and it was hard. Coming along well. I will post a couple of pics tonight. Now the bad is I went to a couple of Yankee games this weekend and completely shitted on my diet. I didnt eat well an probably killed two weeks of work. I'm done kicking myself for it but I'm already back on my game. I just believe in always being honest with you guys. Thanks or all the support.

[gbrice75]

Really looking forward to the pics.

Glad to hear you're a Yankees fan... I like you that much more now.

As for fvcking up the diet - granted, not the greatest timing, not something you want to do during contest prep - but it's done. Live and learn. You'll get stronger (mentally) with every show, and will fix things that weren't right the previous time.

How far out are you now?

[Buddhabody]

I'm a little under 6 weeks. I can and will rebound nicely. If its one thing you guys know about me is that I'm a hardworker. I'll kick some cardio a$@ this week and be right on track.


PS: At saturdays game, I almost jumped out of the stands and punched A.J Burnett in the face. He cost us that game.

I know you will.

Lmao, yea he's a POS, i've never liked him. Unreliable, unpredictable to say the least.

[JohnnyVegas]

Looking awesome! Cannot wait to see contest pics when you are done.

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot. I will deliver when its showtime. I'm excited to get this first show out the way, so I'll have some experience on what its like to compete.

[RaginCajun]

wow! 7% BF and over 35 pounds lost, kudos to you my friend!!!! i hope you have been practicing posing because that looks just as tough as dieting! good luck brother!

[FireGuy]

Nice job and great thread, my apologies for not following along more closely. I remember back when you started at nearly 240lbs, I think you thought I was a bit crazy when I said I saw your stage weight being around 190.

Great job for following through and documenting as much as you have. It seems there are a dozen threads a month like this that go for 2-3 weeks and the OP just disappears (quits). I cant begin to think of all the threads in the Competition Forum where members give play by play of their contest prep then never post (even when prompted/bumped) about how they did or what they learned. I think 90% of them bail before contest day.

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot and posing is wayyyyyyu harder than the pros make it seem but its coming along well and I owe alot to my prep coach.

Fireguy good to see you back my friend, I wondered where you went but I know life gets busy. Yes, I thought you were out of your mind when you said I could compete at 190lbs lol but what did I know. The prep is coming along good. Amd believe or not I think talking to everyone on here has made me alot more accountable rather than just keeping the while idea of competing to myself. I owe a great deal of gratitude to every member who has taken the time to comment/support me in some way. Welcome back to my thread Fireguy

[Buddhabody]

Here are those pics taken last Wednesday. These were for my personal collection and I will post more next weekend.

[RaginCajun]

[Buddhabody]

[Buddhabody]

[Buddhabody]

Down to 200.4lbs as of this morning, so thats a total of 38.4lbs lost. I still feel incredible strong doing these workouts. I'm still repping loads of weight. My cardio is consisting of 40 minutes AM and 15-20 post wotkout. Waist is down to 29 1/2 inches. Diet is good. Still doing the same 6 day carb cycle. Pics coming soon.
