21 years old, BF 4.4%, 198lbs (90kg) - 1week out

[briansvk]

Hi guys.

Just wanna share and hear your opinion for actual shape - 1 week pre contest:
According to In-Body measurement taken on Saturday morning - 4.4% BF.

[austinite]

Outstanding Brian!! Seriously hard work shows here. It's most certainly not 4.4% but you look incredible.

Keep up the good work.

My thoughts exactly! U look effin great! But I was thinking 6-8%

Don't know, maybe it is the light or quality of a photo.. Or In-Body machine shows incorrect results Or water and sodium made it look bloated, I measured early in the morning and photos were taken later that afternoon.. There are some serious differences in appearance during the day I have noticed...

But, I did not make the number up:

[austinite]

Sorry man, I hope you didn't think I was saying you're making up a number. That wasn't my intent. I know most calculators out there are very inaccurate. Consider a bod pod assessment for more accuracy.

[briansvk]

Of course I just wanted to make everything clear Thanks a lot for recognition

Shredded like cheese

Good job man

[Capebuffalo]

Great job...First show?

[slfmade]

Nice work. Great Delts!!!!

[crazy mike]

Hey first off you look great. Great shoulders and arms. Look good all round. Constructive critism , after the show work on the legs. Just saying. Also I have to agree with austinite I seriously doubt you are 4 % BF. 7% or so. But who's complaining , I said you look great. ...good luck ....crazy Mike

[spywizard]

Great job.. what I see as is what most are seeing, is your cuts don't continue down the lower trunk as they are appearant the rest of the body.. so the 4.4 is probably correct, but water retention or something is stopping that same cut into the lower trunk..

Don't get me wrong, you are looking great.. wonder if you are carb depleted??

[Soar]

Awesome work! Good luck on the show

[crazy mike]

You said you only have a week ? can you tell me how many full days before weigh-in. Where are your carbs now on a daily basis. Also where are you getting carbs from. If you don't mind me asking. ....crazy mike

PS: the last week is critical, your mass is where it is.

[zaggahamma]

impressive

Yeah I have this stupid kind of genetics that I hold all the water in lower abs and lower trunk... This photos were taken one day before starting depletion.

It was exactly 7 day before. Saturday one week prior the show. I started depleting on Sunday. Last weeks prior to show I was on pretty low carb (200g top). Cycling of course. Carbs just from rice and oatmeal, mostly morning and before and after workout.

Great work mate.........well done and good luck in the show!

[bdos]

Looking good man keep it up

Some color and your going to look great. I would say no more then 6%, look at your glutes !! Once you drop your water they are going to look sick. Make sure to flex them while hitting your back poses, shredded glutes tells how well conditioned you are !!!

[briansvk]

Little update after one day carb loading.. Still lots of water and sodium:

[ironbeck]

Am I the only one that doesn't like looking at guys ass with their shorts shoved up there cracks, guess u have to be a pro BB to appreciate mens asses in a non homosexual way.

[briansvk]

Yeah it is kind of weird, but... You have to look through "professional eye" you know As BG said shredded glutes tells how well conditioned subject is

[marcus300]

Great job

[briansvk]

Little update about 24 hours out... No water today, consuming way too many carbs I have decided to put this stupid overcarb/spill over myth to the test.. So far so good, drying out nicely:

[OnTheSauce]

How'd it go

[Bigjd707]

Looking great man, it's not easy getting down to 4%! Keep it up

[lovbyts]

LOL I have always thought that is a weird/ugly pose also and would have no problem if it was eliminated.

[BG]

How did things go ????

You have no idea what your talking about. Glute fat is the last to go, thats a tell tale on how hard you dieted. Sometimes only one guy gets on stage that cut, it wins shows. Eliminate it out of shows ...lmao.

Hi... Finally got some time to update I ended up at 6th place so I have accomplished my goal: Get into finals. I did one small mistake when I drank a bit of water about hour before stage and my stomach got a bit swollen, but... never mind... Got TONS of experience from diet, peak weak and everything so I am ready to KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!

[Gaspaco]

Congratulation mate!

Looking very solid and thick!

It was international Austrian Championship and I was there and ended up 2nd in open Junior Classic Bodybuilding Category. I have tried different approach to food intake during the contest day and it went very well Did not get bloated or gassing at all. It was nice and tight. Also beated guy who was 4th the previous week. He was 4th again now.
