Fasting Friday : Cable curl bench / Ab crunches

Wake Up @ 178
Post Workout @ 171
Step Count: 37K
Pre-meal glucose : 82
Pre-meal ketones : 0.5
GKI : 9.1 (Not in Ketosis)
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 17 Contest Cut Cycle
Show Date : 08/28/2024 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs

Today was a longer fasting day. Blood work this morning so I was fasted from previous evening to 6PM today. Roughly 20 hours or so. I thought we be in ketosis, but not so much. Next 3 days are fasting days with AM protein drink and pm dinner. So, roughly 12-14 hour fast each day.
Tomorrow should be my normal high volume leg day. Just stay the course.

Another hot day in Texas High of 103 or so. Got my step count in. Much sweating. Excitement is building, I am almost there.

Here's how it looks:

Hope your blood test went well OG
37k steps is nuts man! Where you walking to in that type of heat always loved Texas they say Aussies and Texas are alike...........

@PrinceDaddy you're doing well, I see you tighter by the day
yes this is a good glucose meter, quality too but many guys I've worked with are scared to get blood from finger, ironic right? they pin steroids but scared of daily blood test haha

You serious afraid of a finger prick ? I don't care it's all needed one needle is no different than the next insert done deal lol.

I finally woke up under 176. Yippee. I like the mirror conditioning. There's not much more I can do this week. Just stay the course and let's see what happens. I do think since I sleep in on Saturday/Sunday, I end up losing some weight due to inflammation. M-F I get up at 4AM. Sleep around 9-10.
Not enough sleep. I think I catch up Sat/Sun. My body works out the inflammation and water retention.

Did not push too hard in the gym today. Mostly machines with heavy weight, low risk of injury. Starting to get more excited about the upcoming week. Laid out my pill cases for this week. No more injections as I finished everything. Last set of orals on Thursday AM, then all done. I will be on stage this upcoming week on Wed/Thu.

Here's how it looks:

Wish the belly was tighter. It is what it is....

Posing tomorrow and single plate shoulder/chest presses.
