Thanks wasme. It hasn't been easy, but things have gone well, especially for it being my first prep and not having a coach.

Here's some food from yesterday's feast:
Invalid Link Removed
-GF waffles with WF Caramel Dip, Granny Smith apples and cinnamon
-GF pancakes with fluff and WF Chocolate Dip
Invalid Link Removed
-Caramel Apple and Smores candy corn
I'm not a candy corn fan, but these flavors got my interest. They're both awesome and actually taste like advertised. I added some to the waffles/pancakes (and ate a bunch solo), since the flavors went together well. I'll probably add these (and Starburst candy corn) to my pre-show carb up

-grilled chicken, sliced tomato and onion, feta pizza

Thanks bud. Yeah, I was able to make a little chest progress.
Thanks Budman!
Thanks ace. It's this Saturday. I think I'm lean enough for physique as is (had an experienced bb competitor tell me that I was bb lean last week) and don't plan on dropping much more weight.
I'll be training tomorrow and Wednesday, having a refeed Wednesday (size yet to be determined), just doing LISS Thursday, and shutting down weights/cardio after that. Friday, I'll cut water/sodium down and hopefully be looking ready to go on Saturday.
I just found out today that there's a tanning place a few minutes away that has experience with "competition tans". I'm going to make an appointment for Thursday and probably go back for a "touch up" on Friday if necessary.

Me too lol. I feel like I've been dieting forever. I'm not doing anything too crazy; water/sodium intake are currently up, I'll cut sodium back to normal, and water will be minimal on Friday.

Thank you man.
Thanks bolt. I'm glad that I was able to pull it off in time.
I'm on the bike for a short LISS session before heading to the gym for my final workout of prep. I plan on hitting chest, shoulders, and back. Hopefully, energy and endurance hold up long enough for a decent amount of work. Refeed starts when I get back from the gym. The amount of carbs consumed will be based on how I'm feeling/looking as I go. I won't be hitting 1500g, but expect to be somewhere between 600-900g.

Haha thanks Jiigzz, much appreciated man.
My carb intake will end up being higher than originally planned. I've been ravenous all day and only looked better as they've been piling up. I'll be somewhere between 1000-1200g when finished eating.
I've spent the last couple of hours removing the ridiculous amount of hair from my body. I literally HAD some of the world's hairiest legs and never imagined that I'd be shaving them
. It's incredibly awkward feeling the bare skin against my pants lol. My skin is red and irritated everywhere and I'm hoping it calms down before my first round of tanning tomorrow...something else that I've never done before.I picked up a couple pairs of board shorts as well. I waited until the last minute, so I could be sure that they'd fit come competition time. A family friend owns a surf shop that's open year round and I wasn't worried about not being able to find any. He hooked me up with a nice deal as well. :thumbsup:

Go with the green. Contrast should do a lot to bring attention to your physique, especially when you're all tanned up. Just my $.02

Yeah that's my first choice, but I want to have options. I'll have to see how they look after tanning (tomorrow and Friday) and if a bunch of competitors are wearing the same color.

Lol I've started getting them as well. It'll probably be the only reason I'm awake for the end of the game.

And here's what I'm talking about..super dark and still somewhat drying. I was told that rinsing off in the shower before bed will make a pretty big difference and am curious to see the end result.
Invalid Link Removed
I should be in decent shape after drying out a little tomorrow and carbing/pumping up a bit before the show on Saturday.

Looking good, Breezy! Good luck!

Breezy, definitely rinse, do not scrub. Find a hoody and sweats you don't mind ruining. Sleep in them or your bed sheets are toast. You will basically want to wear these from the first coat until after the show. No need to ruin a bunch of clothes with pro tan
You look great though man, but I think there will be a noticeable difference after carbing up.
Are you implementing a further carb up?
I think you hit 1200 yesterday?

Thanks Sean.
Thanks big dog.
Haha it's crazy...shaving my body, tanning, and posing to show off my physique are all things that I never thought I'd be doing. It won't be the last time either lol.
Thanks dude.
I'm definitely just going with a rinse. I was told to go heavy on the moisturizer after as well. I've had my hoodie and sweats on (they're a mess) since heading to the tanning place and don't plan on changing.
Thanks ace. Yeah, some carbs should have me looking fuller and vascular. I hit 1200g yesterday, but plan on going with handfuls of cereal and candy on Saturday morning, maybe a couple pop tarts as well if I'm feeling crazy lol.

Thanks wasme. Should be interesting.
The shower has me looking a lot more "tan" and not too dark. I believe that I'm supposed to leave tomorrow's tanning alone until after the comp.

Yeah, I'm going to need more carbs before the show. They won't be zero, but I'm keeping them on the low end today (fiber low too) and focusing on drying out. I'll have time to fill out in the morning.
Thank you very much Sam! I truly appreciate your support. It really means a lot hearing from someone that doesn't post very often and has been able to get something out of following along. Keep working hard consistently and you'll achieve your goals before you know it!
Thanks again man.

Honestly I don't know how many carbs you plan on eating before the show or how many you can put down before getting bloated but I'd say you should already be dry enough for physique.
Just my opinion but I think you should eat. You honestly looked more flat than usual after your last carb up and I think it might take more carbs than you realize to fill back up.. But here we are playing this balancing game, don't want to be too dry, nor too full.
Either way you're looking good so don't take this post in a negative way i'm just trying to help you in any way I can.

Something to also note, he hasn't worked out in 2 days and water is reduced. The body is in a prime state come 2maro morning, mostly bc lack of fluids. The response from something as simple as a handful of skittles is amazing.
The idea of carbs and sodium tomorrow is to hit them when body is dry, the influx of insulin in this state with sodium fills muscle bellies like you wouldn't believe.
Most competitors look flater going into the night before the show

Appreciate the advice ace. I'll be up bright and early eating chicken and rice (with ketchup and salt) and grazing on cereal all morning. I'll have 2 chicken/rice meals before pre-judging (and plenty of cereal) along with candy while I pump up. The same things will be eaten throughout the rest of the day leading up to the night show as well (probably no additional salt last meal).
Yup, not working out made a big difference in how I looked and am currently looking. Thanks for the help homie.

Thanks bean!
I just wanted to thank everyone again for the support. It means a lot, especially since I haven't had much of a support system outside of AM throughout this process. Big thanks to DW and EBF Inc for the extra feedback/support as well. I'll actually be heading to the comp solo, which I'm not too happy about, considering I've never even been to a show. However, I'm somewhat friendly with a couple of competitors, so I should be able to ask them some questions if anything comes up.
I just got my second round of tanning done and am even darker than yesterday. I plan on rinsing off in the morning, which should hopefully have my color looking good.

DW and EBF are certainly going to be amongst the best to get advice from! I know you will anyway, but be sure to post up pics on comp day!

They've been very helpful when looking for advice or a second opinion. Will do. My phone battery is awful (I'll bring charger) and won't have anyone with me, but I'll see if one if the guys I know will take some pics. I think there'll be some professional pics taken as well.
Round 1 of chicken, jasmine rice, ketchup, and salt down. I'm having some handfuls of cereal before rinsing off in the shower and seeing my finished tan.

I've competed before so I know what to expect. I just thought he looked kinda flat for after a carb up.
A handful of skittles will do wonders for vascularity, but for a guy who's been dieting really hard for a long time-it will do little to fill his glycogen stores (i'm talkin a whole pizza)
But seeing the plan he has today i'm not too worried about it
