As realistic as some of the advice is in here, damn, so much negativity

Before and after pics are amazing, let me just commend you on your hard work. Do you look ready to get on stage? No.

That being said, if you're doing it for the experience and to educate yourself on the process of a comp prep, have no expectations of winning. I'd say go for it, I'm terrified of getting on stage but one day I know I'll do it.

I have to agree with others though, taking that long off cycle is only going to take you a step or two back.

Again, awesome job man.

Im having deja vu. Seriously not jokingly.

To h2j's point -

If calories are already this low then to actually get into "decent" shape to step on stage you're going to be ridiculously low...... NEAT low or not, I think you're going down the wrong road.

My advice -

Continue your cut. Stop when you get around 10-12% bf. Slowly start to increase calories from there which will make you grow, the added muscle will increase your maintenance calories, keep that going until you stall or, start getting fat, hold that point for a while, then find a show and start a prep.

Just my opinion.

It's not about the show. If you make it about just doing a show you'll be disappointed I promise. It's the process.

Yeah, pics, that's almost another 30 pounds lost since your last picture. You have been hard at it for weight loss.
 
I don't need to see pics.

You've over dieted and lost a ton of muscle.

Unavoidable with that much cardio and so few calories.

Looks like you made the mistake I warned you about weeks ago. Any lean tissue you had gained during the last year or so is gone.

I do what I say and I back it up. I was in title fight tied for first place to a guy who was at 20% bodyfat. I lost the title to him because he was the athlete of vice president of association. I got second place.
