Beginning cutting pics.......please critique

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot Slimmer. I'm taking every measure to ensure that, that is the case. I want to win the overall. Thats what I'm shooting for.

[zaggahamma]

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.

this is interesting...apologize if i missed it earlier....have you been doing that much cardio since this post? and have you ever done that much and had great results...also is this common for contest prep?

cant wait for you to kill bro

[Buddhabody]

This cardio routine is just for the final few weeks before contest. Cardio starting at 12 weeks out was just 30min session, 6x a week. Now that there is about 4 1/2 weeks left, I need to ensure that I'm down to 4-4.5% bodyfat. I'll discuss my weight with my coach but the carb cycling makes it that I lose bodyfat and no lean muscle. Thanks for the well wishes.

thanks....4.5% wow...keep killin it bro....whats the lowest youve been before

[Buddhabody]

I'm at about 6.8% bodyfat now. So I have to kick it in high gear without doing that zero carb crap.

[gbrice75]

I agree carb cycling is the way to go. I'm loving it. Well actually, i'm hating it - having to DO it. I love my carbs! But it works. It's all about depleting glycogen to optimize using bodyfat for fuel, then refueling glycogen before LBM loss becomes a concern. Rinse and repeat.

[Buddhabody]

Damn right brotha....this prep coach has really showed many things that i never thought about.

[gbrice75]

Same with me and Nark. At this point I can say I never intend to compete, but Nark specializes in contest prep, so if I ever do, I may be taking a trip to Barbados, lol!

[Buddhabody]

Do it up lol

[Buddhabody]

On another note, I just finished my second tanning session. I love it.

[auslifta]

Great work, still followng this. You're killing it, keep it up.

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot bro. I appreciate the support. Please stay tune this last 4 weeks is goin to be sick. New pics this weekend.

[gbrice75]

So glad you're posting pics THIS weekend. I'm due next weekend - no way I wanna be posting pics the same time as you. You'll make me look worse.

[Buddhabody]

Lol its all good bro. Your doing good, right on track. To be honest my biggest fear is me showing up to the comp and guys just look 20x better than me.

Doubtful. And even if that's the case, remember this is your first and should be at the very least a great learning experience for you. Next time, you'll know what you're up against and can adjust your game accordingly. Personally though, i'm not worried for you!

[Buddhabody]

Thanks Slimmer and Gbrice, its all good. Sent in my entry form and everything is a go.

[FatHor5e77]

Buddha, I have just found your posts and I have to say they have been an amazing read!!!!! I am a million miles away from where I want to be right now with my body and am struggling to start but with what you have done it is a massive inspiration. So congratulations to you and I wish you every success for the future.

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot. No secret, just hardwork and dedication and it can be done. Good luck on your journey.

[Buddhabody]

Just smashed quads and hams for 2 1/2 hrs. I was able to rep 1,000lbs for seven on leg press. My biggest ever and I'm four weeks out so that makes me really happy.

[gbrice75]

hey bro, you kicked some ass in the gym. great progress .

[Buddhabody]

Thanks bro. I'm gonna feel it tomorrow, its all good though. Need to keep killin it.

[Buddhabody]

Here are a few pics taken a hour or so ago. I'm not happy with the lighting and will post different shots tomorrow. Not trying to be cocky but this pics really don't show as much as the natural sun light would. Nevertheless, I'm a man of my word. I will post some tomorrow night. A couple of poses, I didn't take the time to hit correctly but tomorrow I will lol. Also waist is down to 29inch.

[zaggahamma]

u r a superhero

great job

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot man. Those comments really help my confidence to continue down this road of bodybuilding. Thanks again.

[Twist]

You look great bro. You think it would be possible to maintain year round your current conditioning?

[Buddhabody]

Yes it is possible. However, I will go into bulk mode after this contest but it will be a clean bulk under the supervision of my prep coachnn

[*Alex*]

Dude. Respect !

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot bro. Still have a few more tweaks but I'm almost there.

[Twin]

Wow great cut. How much pounds did you lose? You have similar bodyfat as me in the first posts. Good motiviation. Hopfully my. Cut goes as good as urs

[Buddhabody]

Thanks alot man. Just stay focused and work harder than you think you need to and you'll get the results you want. I'm down about 40lbs and 7inches off my waist line. Also, good luck with your goals.

[|2ogue]

Thats quite some transformation. To be honest, when I looked at your original photo's a while back I would never have thought you'd end up looking this good just under 5 months later. Well done, keep it up, the hard work is really paying off, good motivation for the rest of us.

[Buddhabody]

Thanks bro. I'm not there yet but on my way. 4 weeks out from my comp. I'm happy to be proof that we all can anything we put our minds too. I really mean that.

[PurpleOnes]

Great progress , are you attending NPC competition?

[Buddhabody]

Yes. My first one and its being held on October 1st. I will take the light heavyweight and overall.

[PurpleOnes]

Well you have confidence! Keep pushing and killing it in the gym and good luck in your competition

[Buddhabody]

Thank you and I appreciate it.
