5 weeks out

This week was a mindfuck for me. Didn’t want to take progress pics. Weight was up on average for the week (178.4). Felt like I was going backwards and didn’t want to do check in. Complete emotional attachment to the scale.

Kurt says we are sticking to the plan and are exactly where we need to be. Talked me off the ledge and felt much better after. Ready to keep attacking.

Leg is feeling better but the conditioning is still blurred a bit. Today was first day I could squat down and it wasn’t tight on me. Just need some more time.

Posing coach wanted to try a new classic pose so he has me doing the modified side tricep. I like it so we’ll keep going with that for now.

Thanks bro, that means a lot. I’m still a complete newbie to how these compounds affect body composition and my coach just really hammered that home on the check in today. Felt a lot better after check in 👍🏻

You couldn't be in a better position. Getting shredded and growing at the same time! Getting the best of both worlds.
 
Do you and Kurt do check ins via email? Or are you guys talking over the phone?
 
This is when your mind starts going wonky. 5 Weeks and onward. They are 90% lies imposed by our insecurities and it's your 1st show so you have nothing to compare it to. You are doing so well! In great hands with Kurt and just go autopilot. No thinking and just do as your told. You will be 10x happier, less stressed and enjoy the process. Proud if you man.

Example of how everyone gets tested in prep. I just had a full week bedwritten due to an aggressive campylobacter bacteria caused by our new puppies pooping everywhere and getting infected. Couldn't hold anything down for 4 days and dropped 12lbs in that time, couldn't move with literal constant diarrhea, pain and bloat. I'm halfway through antibiotics and I have 5 weeks to make it happen after this setback. We all go through something in prep. It's how fucking hard you are and never giving up unless health is at risk.

Mad respect for you doing a show.

Thank you bro! I really appreciate that. Up until now things have been pretty smooth and I was just having a moment. I did feel much better and reassured after talking to Kurt. Like you said, being this is my first time I have nothing to compare it to. Plus I had that nonsense with the bad quad shot that was messing with too.

Sorry to hear about your illness. Obviously that's terrible timing. I have no doubt you will bounce back and be right on track. You are a true vet who knows what it takes. Heal fast brother!

Took these after high day (675C)

Weight bumped up three pounds from day prior.

I’m allowed an off plan meal but did not take one on this particular day, just didn’t work out.

Sent these over to Kurt for an assessment if there is spill over as we get closer. He didn’t think so.

He wants to run an experiment on my next high day. We are going to ramp up the carbs to 850 and I’ll take pics the day after. This will be Wednesday this upcoming week. Stay tuned 👀

Just the way the day worked out. I was really looking forward to some pad Thai.

He has it as optional.

How is your hunger at this point in prep? Are you food focused at all? You seem like a naturally lean guy so I'm assuming it's not terrible for you..?

I definitely have my moments. Low days are obviously more difficult but I’m hanging in there.

It’s also messing with me since Kurt told me I’m basically ready but I still have all this time left. The start of prep was a breeze. Weight just dropped off without even trying but last couple weeks the hunger has gotten there

I've never done a show and I've never been as peeled as you are right now so I can't relate. But when I've gotten down to a lower body fat, my hunger isn't really bad due to the ephedrine I take, but my food focus gets so bad, I'm counting down minutes until my next meal. That is torturous to me. So I can't imagine being as peeled as you are, and still having weeks until your show.

I guess now you know you can get in shape quickly so next time there really is no need to start prep as soon as you did this time.

mad respect for pushing yourself.

This is definitely the leanest I’ve been and I definitely have those moments where I’m waiting for the next meal. This tends to happen to me in the morning between 1st and 2nd meal. For whatever reason it goes away after. Doesn’t matter if it’s low day or not

Took advantage of the @YourMuscleShop Labor Day sale. Couldn’t pass it up!

Couple items to polish prep off like winstrol, Clen and thiazide. Stocking up for the next improvement season with a 10 pack of Test E.

Nice enough to throw a couple T shirts in. Shoutout @JACKED_ View attachment 146390View attachment 146391View attachment 146392
