It wasn't too bad for me. I feel like I don't go catabolic with fasting. It just makes things easier. Gives me more time. I like 24 hours, not 36 so much. I was always a chubby kid, not a skinny kid. So I can skip eating easily.

@LevButlerov
Will share when I have full results later in the week. I was trying to be as hydrated as possible, but I may have still been under-hydrated .
I think I will do the next blood work with a normal fast. Probably a week before the August show.
I have a question for you. My weight range today was 174-178. Given my pictures, I know I still have fat to lose. What do you think my target stage weight should be?
Thanks for all you do!
Looking at your pics almost impossible to tell, dont see lower back or total bodyfat. It looks good from the front range but back lower seems where you hold the fat. @PrinceDaddy

@PrinceDaddy
I bet that you do very well at your competition. I think that you look the best you've looked since you've been on this forum. Obviously, the fasting has been working well for you.

@PrinceDaddy You are looking fantastic, man. Good job on this. I have confidence that you will do great. It just depends on who shows up.

Getting very hot in Texas as usual. Felt a little beat down today. Slept very well yesterday. I am seeing people mention MOTS-C seems to help with sleep apnea. I am seeing the same.
I have been doing the OMAD pretty much every day except Tues/Thurs. Last week of course I did the 36 hour fast so Thursday was another fast.
Today was weird not fasting. I had a protein shake, some nuts, and some sesame sticks. I had one package to finish. I feel like the satiation effect was not in effect. Maybe just eating out of boredom. Regardless, I am back to fasting tomorrow. I also am adjust Thursday to an early OMAD window. I was also drinking quite a bit today, likely maybe the saltiness of snack or just the dehydration from the Texas heat.
How it looks today:

@PrinceDaddy I can see you're much leaner and tighter than last show even.
OMAD and fasting is helping a lot. I would do another 36 hour fast in your situation. Clearly your bloat is down from it.
Looking sharp. Keep it up @PrinceDaddy
Ive heard great things about mots c never used it myself yet.
@Noah Wixx
I'll do my update later today, I'm also feeling like it is anabolic in the sense that your muscles become fuller due to insulin sensitivity. My weight seems to be holding steady, but I am seeing the body get tighter and no loss of strength at the gym.
Wednesday : Chest / Shoulders / OMAD Fasting

Been sleeping very well. Weight went up a little. I don't think I overdid it. There was a package of Sesame stick snacks I finished yesterday. I won't buy it again. No fasting yesterday. Today was a a fasting day. I am eating my OMAD meal as I type this.
I don't really like 36 hour fast, but I did like just freeing up time last Thursday not cooking any dinner. So tomorrow I am going to fast, but move the OMAD to the early part of the day. So, I will have pre-work out protein meal between 4-5AM. My walk is usually around 9-11:30 AM. I will have my evening meal at 1pm, then begin the next fast around 2PM and continue to 5PM the next day. So basically a 27 hour fast.
I was supposed to register for the NPC Masters Nationals. As it turns out the promoter has removed the late fees. Today was the last day to register to avoid the late fees. So, I will register for my NPC card and the show on July 11th. No need to spend the money till its time to spend the money.
NPC Membership : $150
NPC Masters Over 50 BB : $300
NPC Masters Over 55 CP : $300
NPC Masters Over 55 MP : $300
So, a total of $1050 in entry fees.
Tanning is $165
Hotel : $742.14
Airfare : $324.97
Bodybuilding at a national show is not cheap. Total outlay not including food, transfers is $2282.11. I have been doing this since 2019. I enjoy it. I meet great like minded individuals. I feel like I improve every year or at least learn a few new tricks.
I hope this is my year. No matter what, I will make the most of it. It's a privilege to have the opportunity to do something you love.
Let's go!
