I've got more PowerFULL coming at some point but I wanted to give G8 a try and see what all the rave was about. I really want to try REM 8.0 as well. Ill stick to a half scoop and gauge from there.

I never don't have to get up bro, I have a 4 year old son :-). Just wait!
 
Alright 2 weeks holy cow.

Diet got changed as I figured. All fish, egg yolks out, fruit out, and carbs cut a smidge but this Friday will be around 400g :-).

I can't promise much I'm regards to this thread over the next two weeks so I apologize but ill try and get on as much as I can. Next week peak week I'm off work weds-weds so I will pop in more.

Thanks again for the support.
 
Looking great Bean! I think you are gonna love the G8. Stuff works like a charm. Matter of fact I am going to use mine to wind me down when i get home late tonight from work.

Damn man. You are on a hell of a condition. You are going to kill that contest.
 
Bean,
You are ready my friend

Do not worry about anything from here on out. Do exactly what your coach says for peak week (because clearly he has you dialed in), and listen to no one else.

I remember my final week everybody at the different gyms I train at was telling me to try this or try that. You have to stick to one plan or your f'd.

Anyway I have no doubt you'll do just fine. Focus on your posing and stage presence.

Go out there with a smile and in your head tell yourself you've already won. The judges will see this confidence and award you accordingly.
Do not be cocky, but confident. Own the stage, have fun with it!

Regardless, your conditioning speaks for itself you have done the hard work and you've paid your dues.



PS.
And you should probably quit teasing us and give us a full shot with your competition trunks on. No homo, of course

Thanks Ace. I got it and am doing everything to a T that my coach says. I'm a bit nervous as the rosters for the event came out and this show has doubled in size. They had to divide/add classes for everybody. I'm in the most competitive class (like 20 dudes) :eek: coach told me there are three very well known/experienced guys that usually place every time. At first this psyched me out but I'm realizing I've done everything I can do and that's all I can worry about.

Ill try and get some pics up as my suit comes in today :-)

sounds exactly like my first show bud
i was a moron and picked a very popular event in my hometown - a national qualifier - that always draws the top-notch competitors from the area (even had guys show up from west coast, and i'm in indiana)..middleweight i was, and THAT was the most competitive class!
but, i let this drive me harder in my prep, focusing on every little tidbit my coach threw at me, and it turned into a positive in that aspect

fyi - i competed in both open & novice, both huge classes (around 18/22 respectively), and placed 5th in open & 3rd in novice..got me couple trophies and some invaluable experience
 
Relax and let your coach guide you in. What better way to measure your success than against good competition. Look forward to seeing the finished product bubba.(definitely hetero) Lol

Big shows are so much fun. Intimidating I'm sure but I bet you'll meet some new people there and maybe make some longer term contacts, plus doing a big show like that really gets your name out there, so that next time you step on stage you'll be more recognizable. You are ready, no need to worry. :)

I chose a huge show for my first, after a smaller show a month before to qualify. While it wasn't the smartest decision and I definitely was not deserving of standing on that stage among the other athletes it really lit a fire under me. Seeing those stage pictures was a huge driving force for future improvement. Further, it was an awesome experience. I remember standing back stage as Dave Palumbo expedited. He was like a god to me, a celebrity, haha. I was seeing all of these people that I had only read about, athletes in ridiculous condition, and I was just in awe at it all. The whole thing was just like "Is this real life?". Bad decision in terms of choosing a show that I was ready for, but I wouldn't trade that whole experience and the following drive to improve for anything.
 
Like everyone here has already said, physically you are ready. Any improvements here on out are simply icing on the cake. With physique you don't want to roll in at 4% that is too low. Your lines and aesthetic build are going to be a big benefit to you. Just rock it with a smile and confidence and you will do well.
 
Can't wait to see you on stage buddy. This is going to be fun. See you on the 11th. Keep your head in there until we hit that buffet!!!

Thanks all I appreciate it more than you all know. I actually said Fock it and finished my workout this am and ripped my shirt off and practiced my posing in front of about ten gym goers. Felt like a tard for about 30 secs, then as I started nailing poses and looked I could see how far I've come and I've never looked this good, so I confidently finished my posing about 5-10 mins and left. Felt good.

Thanks troop holler at me soon ill give you my number bro
 
So just an update as I close in on peak weak.

This week macros looked similar to this for sun/m/t/w

P-350+
C-40-60
F- <18

Thurs
359
95
12

Today however :-)

350+
255
20

Then starting tomorrow back to the beginning of the week macros added sodium. M/T/w will be full body depletion workouts and the diet on Monday drastically cuts carbs and fats remain LOW.

It's been a struggle mentally thus far especially adding cardio in daily twice a day, but I've remained strong and made some sick progress this week I'm actually shocked.

Stay tuned ill update as dietary changes occur
 
Doing awesome man!

It really hit me yesterday felt like a zombie all day could've fallen asleep at anytime. The little carbs I had yesterday kicked in about mid evening and through my wo this am. Killed my arms and the stair stepper lol. After today tomorrows wo should be epic :-)

Thanks Dan! Def a huge learning exp fo sho. Have you started working with your coach yet?? I'd be interested in how it goes/going.

I like the new Avis by the way
 
Great can't wait to see the update pics, more posing in front of others. Watch them look at you, impressed by your physique and use that for confidence you have on stage. In the gym only the haters will look disapprovingly as someone doing posing practice.
