Bam Bam's Journey to the Stage!

How do you feel? Confident enough for the stage?

Well at 7 weeks out I'm obviously not in stage-ready condition, but as far as I know I'm on track to come in peeled. So I'm feeling pretty confident at this point in time and as motivated as ever to keep killing it in the gym and sticking to my diet.

This was pretty delicious.
 
Next phase starts tomorrow. 359g protein, 124g carbs, 60g fat. About 2500 cals.
Time to get lean!
Cardio is still 20 min on the stairs at level 5-7 intensity, 5x a week post workout
 
That's a lot of unnecessary protein, but I don't know anything about competing:)

Ha. Yeah it's about 100gr less than mine. I'm 8 weeks out

From the articles I've read consuming that much protein has no benefit. Point of diminishing returns, however I do understand that you have to get calories from protein, fat or carbs and that protein would be the best source.

Remember, bodybuilding isn't done in a vacuum or in a laboratory

My physique would STRONGLY disagree with that articles. Along with Bams

Still doesn't mean your body can use 400g of protein a day, but I get it.

I think it comes down to calories. Protein has the greatest thermic effect and doesn't seem to contribute to fat gain like too many carbs/fat. When it comes to protein more is always better ime, I try and hit at least 300g a day and I am nowhere near competing haha
 
^^ I said that if you read my first post.
 
2nd*
 
Yeah I think the point is to meet my caloric needs while still able to cut carbs

Forgot to weigh this morning but I'm cool with 213

Bam these are your best pics yet man. Looking good bro!!
 
Also remember that when using gear, your ability to utilize higher protein is greatly enhanced.
 
Weight dropped quick with this diet update. 209.4 yesterday, and meant to look again today but forgot to until after my first meal, and was at 210.0. So I'm guessing I was 209 or even less when I first woke up.
Also looked at some old pics this morning and thought this comparison of freshman year of college (4 yrs ago) to yesterday was pretty cool. ~10lb difference in body weight.

Haha well it's definitely a cheat when you're barely eating over 100g carbs a day! Especially if you get 2 burritos like I'll be doing.
I don't think I've had that one! I've been fantasizing about Oreo or Reese's milkshakes lately.

Thanks guys! I'm thinking Chipotle and a milkshake from the Andy's across the street.

Sounds like a plan brother. Need those food porn photogs too! Chipotle is still pretty good IMO, but the one near me skimps like a mother****er on the meats.

I usually get double chicken or double steak, with double white rice, fajita veggies, maybe some salsa and a little cheese and I'm good
The trick is to ask for single, and then go "oh actually could I get double?" That way they don't skimp you on the double
 
So it begins...

I did. I woke up, looked over and said "f*ck!!"
 
Woke up at 208.0 the day after I was 214.7, and have been bouncing between that and 211 since then. Felt kinda drained the last couple days but today I hyped myself up for leg day and it got intense.

Lying leg curls
20 reps, 15 reps to warm up with increasing weight. Working sets with the full stack, 200 I think, 15, 15, 12 dropset 150x8 and again drop to 100x7

RDLs
135x15, 185x15, 4x225x15

Standing single leg curls
3 sets, 50lbs, 12 reps

Walking lunges
Just kept doing one full length of the turf at my gym. Maybe 30 feet?
110lbs, 135, 185, failed about 3/4 of the way with 225. Next time I'll make it the whole length.

Seated leg curls
7x50x12 with 20-30 second rests

Chose today as my only day without cardio this week. I don't think I would've survived after those lunges!
 
And some end of the day, post workout shots. Not the greatest determinant of progress but with 5 meals in me I'm not all that bloated or blurred.

How come you have gyno? Was it 'unfixable' with ai/serm/ DA at the time it occured?
Click to expand...

What's DA? But yeah, pretty much. Once you've got it, it's pretty much impossible to get rid of without getting surgery.
 
Tried something a little different with arms today. I started off with a tri/bi superset as usual, and another one, then did a bicep mega set with standing barbell curls, dumbbell hammer curls, and preacher curls. 3 sets of that and then a megaset for triceps doing close grip press on the smith machine, bodyweight dips, and overhead triceps extensions with an EZ bar. The pump was insane. Invalid Link Removed
Also, maybe I should use a hot tub before the show to bring my vascularity out.

Also. Need suggestions for posing music. Don't want anything slow.

Just take some AMP-5, that will have you're vasc up what sort of music you into?
Click to expand...

Mostly rap and rock. I was kinda thinking something from Godsmack? Rap is hard to do while keeping it clean.
 
I usually go house music lol. Honestly, I hate the individual routine so much. My first two shows I worked super hard on my routine and music and then was kinda like, wtf? Idk, just don't care for it. I envy guys who enjoy it. It's your time to shine. Just line my ugly ass up next to other people and call out poses lol
