    So I'm headed in the right direction with my bulk. I'm sitting at about 7lbs up from the start of the bulk classic, and managing to remain fairly lean in the venture.

    That's the plan. Current goal is to try and hit 180 and not go over 15%bf. If I can do that it should set me up to come into the august show looking big for the lightweights. Hope to hit the stage at 160-164.

    So I'm up 12lbs coming up on the end of the bulk classic, just a little short of the 15 needed but well on my way for the goal weight I hope to reach before I start my cut mid april.

    Thanks man. The bulk is going slower than I had hoped, but I'm doing a good job of keeping the bodyfat down in the process, which is better than having a lot of extra fat to try and drop for the show.

    Couple of better leg shots. And didn't notice till I saw it on camera, I'm seeing some vascularity starting across the tear drop.

    How much longer do you have? Are you just doing novice or open also?

    Do as many classes as you can. You spent all this money, put all this work in....get as much stage time as possible. It will only help in the long run.

    Well so far I'm holding steady around 170 +/- depending on the day. But judging from the mirror I've dropped some body fat, and my shirts keep getting tighter so all is well on the road to August.

    Started my script for ambien over the weekend and I haven't slept this well in years, so this should help with my recovery.

    Still chugging away like the little engine that could. Weight is still fluctuating but the BF is coming down allowing for that nice taper down from the lats. Even though this comp isn't til August I'm starting to struggle with the thought that this may be an in attainable goal in the time I have left, but I keep pushing along to see what happens.

    Couple shots from a few minutes ago.

    Makes a lot of sense. If you're already there may as well jump into everything possible.

    For these quick shots from my last minute entry to the boards most improved challenge.

    At this point I'm changing my plan. Starting next week I'm moving to 2 a day gym sessions. Morning will be for fasted cardio and the evening session will be for actual training. Haven't done cardio in over a year, so this should help kick off the fat loss. Plan right now is to keep calories the same and add the cardio to begin a recomp since my "bulk" goals are not going to be met in the time frame I allotted. I'll give this a go for the next 6 weeks and reassess my situation and see where I go from there. The goal now is to drop BF and add on that last few lbs of mass I need to keep me in the weight class I'm shooting for.

    DP, when are you trying to do your first show?

    Keep pushing hard and gain lean mass!!
    Keep diet dialed in and be ready for when your going to start cutting. Post the lost recent progress pics you have. I wasn't sure which are most current?

    Pending bf% you will need 10-16 weeks of cutting to be ready to step on stage.

    What class you shooting for ?

    Shooting for light weight class. Those last 4 photos I put up were from this week at 5'5" and 170lbs. The show is August 12 so I still have a while before the show.

    Oh cool cool. . . Keep pushing hard and make sure your time line is laid out. Depending on how fast your body can cut leave good 10-16 weeks of cutting.

    Keep the drive up man !!!

    New shots. Still floating between 165-167 with BF dropping and weight holding steady. Still feel a little off the mark from where I had hoped to be, but I still haven't started cardio yet so that should pull things together pretty quick ( I hope ).
