Dude your lookin good! So chill!!! Your weight is good. Your symmetry is good. Your still leaning out and putting on some mass while your at it. They might have looked good at one point but don't worry about 1 point. Worry about making em blush on stage cause they feel uncomfortable standing next to you.
And yes food...
Just ate an egg steak and cheese sammich with lettuce, tomatoe, spinach cucumbers, one big Ass red jalapeno split right down the middle with one half on each side...all on handmade, high protein, whole grain, barley and quinoa bread....glorious
It was glorious

Bean I've done the exact same thing with water intake. I was getting dizzy all the time and come to find out I was drinking something like 3 gallons of water a day. Between that and sweating out a ton of sodium it wasn't good. Definitely keep an eye on that water intake.

Be confident bean. You look great man, progressing very well. One show I went to kid hat striated glutes 2 weeks out on FaceBook, took 3rd and looked waaaaay worse. Show I was at last weekend, a different kids legs looked they they honestly shrank 2" in the final few weeks when he was on stage.
Lighting and filters make a lot of people look better than they are. Of course on places like FaceBook they're gonna doctor it to look as best as possible. I have full faith you'll do well.
Plus you're starting to sound like a women!
P.S. Not you Cassie, you're hardcore. I'm talking the cardio & ab bunny kind of women ;-)

No bfast the next morning I will be making at home
Buffet right after comp, hell yes! Just deciding if I want the buffet at the casino or longhorn BBQ buffet on the way home?!?!?
Don't expect to be able to eat a lot your stomach will be so shrunk.
Don't worry about doubting yourself, just have faith in your coach and your hard work.
Every time i've prepped right about a month out I start to panic and my mind plays tricks on me, thinking i'm not ready, but I've always came in "ready"
Have faith, you'll do well, there's nothing to worry about

Lol, actually on every refeed I've had after depleting myself, I have been able to put down some serious food. I think I may surprise you guys. Who knows though this is all new to me so we shall see. My father in law will be in town from Iowa, he is a hell of a cook so I'm sure my appetite will be out to the test lol

Very true, do NOT trust Facebook Pictures to represent reality and remember, posing has a ton to do with it when it comes to being judged on stage. It's easy to pose for pictures of one body part with excellent lighting, but it's not easy to pose full body style on stage. No offense taken DW.Be confident bean.

I dunno, within 12 hours of stepping off stage I finished an entire large pizza, some cheesy bread sticks, a large greek salad, a good amount of pistachio ice cream, and a large amount of candy. Pic for your enjoyment

That's not that much food if thou finished it over a period of time, but if all at once, I commend you.
I've just found myself having a hard time eating a lot at once after the contest

I ate most of it immediately, woke up in the middle for the night and ate the remaining 1/3 pizza, and then finished the candy on the drive home the next morning. I also had raising bran in the morning. Maybe the stomach shrinking wasn't so bad for me because I was eating a lot of voluminous foods like lettuce and sugar free jello and drinking a lot of water while dieting. I can see how if all of your portions were small volume-wise it would be more of a problem.

my bad, I forgot you were a girl. All of that food is quite impressive, especially after show day.
If I go all out like that I really end up regretting it because my stomach will stay bloated and hurting for a few days
Edit: also I made the mistake of comparing that after show binge to the amount of food I can eat now, heavy offseason

Good weekend of posing and lifting.
Leg day went better yesterday.
Sorry for lack of updates over the weekends. Just so busy during the week, I'm trying to spend every minute I can with my wife and son on the weekends.
Incorporated Box squats yesterday. Felt awesome especially after heavy leg presses. A bit sore today lol so 25 mins of stairs fasted was a chore but I sweated my butt off. Fish is in play three meals per day. I'm expecting to see some drastic changes in the next ten days or so.
Back and HIIT tomorrow.
Current supps are still the same.

Quick random update...
My mom promised me shed compete I'm this show if I did then she bailed. Well at 4 weeks out she met with my coach and is competing in bikini lol. She's 54 and looks stage ready year round. I know this is hard to believe but she's a fitness freak and I think you all will be shocked. Should be fun.

Lol yes it will be cool. We are both similar in regards to not liking attention and we are both afraid of getting stage so this will be cool. My sister and my moms sister talked her out of it the first time (jealousy issues), so I'm glad she changed her mind. My coach said he's excited to work with her all summer, he said he will have her ready for physique by the October show!
