One thing for sure is I am definitely bigger now.
Par for the course ... I am crazyYeah you are definitely on coarse for doing well. Like I said another 2-3 lbs before peak week and you will be coming in looking crazy.
lol yah everybody thinks we're real polite. I think apathetic is closer to the truth
Yes I have hit some poses in the mirror that look identical to the ones on show day with the exception that I am way bigger. I am not stopping here though. I have taken the starches out except for the carb meals and replaced them with fibrous sources, just until Friday night. This should ensure that I am beyond where I was in may. I should be around 6 to 8 lbs heavier this time and a tad leaner.Looking good Doug, I see your obliques have really started to come back in more. Everything still improving in the mirror? Looks pretty good in the pics.
Thanks, competition is stiff though and I am looking forward to it.Looking great DW! You are going to dominate the stage.
Life gets like that sometimes. Challenges like that build you up spiritually, nothing more important than that it's why we're here. Next time you go to do a show you will benefit from all the experience. Everything you overcome you get stronger where it really counts.Sounds awesome! I wish I was still on tap for the 12th... No way I could have done it though. Life continues to throw challenges my way.
You haven't missed the important part .. the results...Hey man!! I don't know how much I missed but I'm in!!
Certainly these things are not too bad just something I have to deal with and it will pass.Thanks, competition is stiff though and I am looking forward to it.
I certainly won't look out of place

2 weeks yah I am about 10 lbs bigger and about the same leanness. We'll see how it goes from here. I am much, much more vascular as well.Hw far out are you doug?? Looking a lot bigger than the last prep log of yours I followed, still lean as fugg too!
Bear costume....lolTime to get rid of some of that hair brother! Looking good.

Yah hair removal is this weekend, I always do it a week before. The cream I use has me really clear but I can be a tad watery for a couple days.Bear costume....lol
Oki yah I am already drying out quite a bit, have been decarbing since Saturday and will stop the sodium starting tomorrow then every 2 hours it will be 4 oz's of lean lean steak (had the butcher tenderize some eye of round for me) and yams starting at around 125 grams per serving. I will slowing increase as I feel is needed. I also grabbed some no salt organic brown rice cakes. Wednesday will flush out with about 5 liters of water and back down to around 3.5 Thursday and Friday. There is only the evening show so I will start sipping only on Saturday morning. I will employ a herbal diuretic as well Wed-Fri....Looking good, hard to see the detail though because of all the extra hair. What are you doing as far as water manipulation this week? Have you decided on the carb up plan you are going to use?
I do really plan on working that aspect. Seems to work out for me.Yep, cant wait to see the professional pics. I think you should give the Mike Matarazzo tongue on your most muscular. Stick with the intense animal...

Masters and we were the stronger category, I took second Marsh was just too good and freaked everybody out but some said it was close. I wasn't that surprised cuz I knew I was posing well and had the crowd, which I milked for all I could. I will get pics soon as I can get them off the vid. I will convert the vids and put them on Utube as well, had a blastNow we can see the lean baby! Skin definitely looking thinner and you are a lot more vascular than I have seen of course a lot of that could be the hair coming off but either way you are going to be going in presenting a prepared physique. What are you competing in again? Masters and Grand Masters or Open and Masters or what is the plan?
Congrats on the second place...can't wait for the picsMasters and we were the stronger category, I took second Marsh was just too good and freaked everybody out but some said it was close.

No it really sucks I mean the angle was very severe. I am waiting for my pics to make a real assessment.Looking good, definitely more size than last time. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics. You gonna post the video anyway? Doesn't have to be perfect for us to be able to share in the experience with ya.
Yah I will get some soon from him. He's really good, got backstage shots too...Back was shredded and thick. Your arms look so much bigger this time around. I can't wait to see the good pics. Didn't they have a professional there taking photos for the contest? Seems there should be some shots from it somewhere.
Thanks, you Warren is a great photographer, I saw him at the last contest and he really knew is stuff as this is his specialty. That's why I took the backstage photo's it's a steal for 80 bucks.heyyy - one of those poses you put up looks strangely familiar to me ....
nice work doug, you did well
photos look great, guy did nice work as well
cheers
