Looking great man!!! Back shots are standout.
Fasting Sunday : Single plate chest/shoulder presses / Abs / Posing
Wake Up @ 177
Post Workout @ 173
Step Count: 11K
Pre-meal glucose : 78
Pre-meal ketones : 0.3
GKI : 14.4 (Not in Ketosis)
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 18 Contest Cut Cycle
Show Date : 08/28/2024 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
I am almost there! Tomorrow is another fasting day. I will do a light back work out. I also plan on getting my step count as normal 35K or so.
I fly out on Tuesday and will be on stage Wed & Thurs. I am getting excited. I like where my physique is. At this point it is what it is. Other than posing you are not going to impact much at this point. The weight is in the range. I wish it was consistently below, but I think it will be on Tuesday.
I am planning on monitoring the weight while I am there. My expectation is step on stage every time around 173-176. I have to correct if I get out that range. I'm accounting for some water loss from my current range.
Here's how it looks with some other poses today
Thanks for your support!

Last work out is done. Thought I would do a light back work out, but instead had a very good heavier than expected work out. Feel a little sore, but good muscle mind connection. Got my step count in. I am tired of this excessive walking, but it seems to be the best way for me to get my conditioning. It's still hot in Texas, upper 90s, but there is a coolness in the air now.
No more work outs till this Saturday, and that's just a fart around keep the habit type of work out. I have seen partial results from my blood work, I i will post when it is complete. Values are generally good, with the exception of some expected exceptions.
It's show time now. Finish packing in a bit. Get up early in the AM and do the body hair grooming, fly out later in the morning.
Dinner this evening was 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg white portions and an avocado. Trying to eat lighter but normal. My intent is I like how I look the next day generally, I just want to replicate it and do nothing odd. I did get as low as 168 due to the Texas heat. I expect I will rehydrate and with food get back to mid 170s.
Watching the weight closely. this is me at 168.
Go time peeps!!! Thanks everyone for your support!

Back to gym Saturday : Some legs work, more vocal work recounting my show.
Wake Up @ 185 (Competed at 171-173, notice the post contest rebound +10 or +12)
Post Workout @ 182
Step Count: 6K
Androgen Rage : Low
Cycle Status : Complete
Show Date : Complete for 2024
And so begins the off-season. I am happy with my show. No more fasting, no more keto/glucose testing. Will keep my step count at 10K.
Sept will be a fart around month to get a 20% sloppy on the diet. Just keep the gym habit and do something, but non-specific in terms of goals.
Blood work from pre-show is almost ready, just waiting on estradiol. Will post with cycle thoughts when complete.
I would like to have done better but it is what it is. I find myself on the outside looking in.
Moving away from the center instead of closer to the center. So here is how I placed:
BB MW 50+ Placed 3 of 4
CP A 45+ Placed 9 of 9
CP A 55+ Placed 8 of 10
MP A 50+ Placed 7 of of 8
MP A 55+ Placed 4 of of 6
Placed in 2 categories. I will take it. I will post some of my better pictures later in the week.

Sunday : Chest/Shoulders
Wake Up @ 189
Post Workout @ 185
Step Count: 12K
Androgen Rage : Low
Cycle Status : Complete
Show Date : Complete for 2024
Yesterday and today back to 2 plates or 225. Non specific goals. At this point just enjoying myself and trying to keep the edema at bay. My appetite is insane crazy. I want to eat everything under the sun. Last night I though I would just have Pizza Hut personal pizza, I did. We had company over and one of the big box pizzas. I had 4 of those slices.
I suppose there are 3 ways of eating a meal.
1) Eat and leave the tank a little empty
2) Eat adequate amount or the right amount
3) blow it out and eat like an a$$hole.
I did number 3. Oh well, it is the off season. Weird thing about this. I have mentioned my sleep issues. Last night I slept from about 10am to 4pm without getting up once. That has not happened in a long time. Maybe I need more carbs for sleep?
Watching my legs and sock line for edema.
Tomorrow is back day. One day at a time!
