LOL, it gets paper thin once really lean and dried out. Other than that some different angles on posing make a HUGE difference. Also Canadian Preparation H can help some, in the US it doesn't have the same ingredient any more. Then there is a research chemical called Thiomucase that is or was often used a couple days before hand that shrinks up the skin some. I have not looked for it since my show in 2009 so not sure where to get it now.

It was pretty minuscule by the time you competed last time. It shouldn't be a detracting factor in your competition. You are looking sharp and those biceps are even more impressive this time around!!!!

Yeah I'm officaly nervous on my conditoning at this point. Couple days over 5 weeks out and I feel like im still holding fat I should have left behind already. First show I lost SO much size to get to the condition i was in, and it think it was pretty good, maybe this go a little softer but bigger will play in my favor. I dunno.

Back Day - Had some gnarly back pumps towards the end of my session. Think its from the Meadows rows most likely.

Gassed hard today. Think the meadows rows really took a toll. Kratom and feet up the rest of the night!
 
If memory serves from the pics, you were far more conditioned than your competitors... so you could be right!
 
Monty, is that number on the Meadows row the weight on end of bar only or including the 45lb barbell? I've only done them a couple times but trying to see how my experience stacks up.

Weight on the bar.
 
At your last show you could have come in with more size. Steve's decision to have you shrink down a bit more to be in the lower weight class was detrimental to some of your mass. Especially since you were already in very good condition when that decision was made. I think you might be surprised at the changes that can be made in the next 5-6 weeks. You get down to a dry 5% and you are going to look great for that show. You are tightening up at a pretty fast pace right now.
 
Wifes test results came back yesterday. Her adrenal glands are functioning properly it seems. Cortisol and prolactin both were in good range. Her free test being so low is most likely the cause of her symptoms I would guess. .3 is dog **** even for a woman and surely thats playing into the whole thing.

We still haven't had another biopsy done on her possible re-currance of cancer on her thyroid bed. The growth isnt large enough for any surgeon to remove at this point so, we wait and see if it grows.....she is terrified of needles and wont have the biopsy done even for peace of mind...mine OR hers. So we wait. Talk about ****ing stressed.

Anyways training today was chest and there wasnt a whole lot to it. Just some basic movements and only 4 exercises total. Really amazing pumps today and im starting to see more separation and striations in my upper body. Still fat but its getting better by the day.

First picture is 225 at start of prep. Second is 222 this morning. Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
Nice work don't let the scale get into your head Montana. You may have only dropped 3 lbs but you look to have dropped about 6 or 7 lbs of fat. I think you grew a little LBM in the process. Everything is MUCH tighter!

More favorable lighting here. 5 weeks. Slap some tan. Get my ass kicked lol. Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
In 5 weeks you will be right where you want to be. Just feels like you wont because you were almost ready a couple months out last time. Things are changing much faster this time around though.

Called it. That was plenty. The pump was nasty today. Had to stop between sets and put my arms up because my shoulders were hurting so bad.
 
Hell of a workout!
 
Almost forgot.

Went to the chiropractor today. I go see a guy who is an ex martial artist and he is really knowledgeable. Also he's like 6'2 250 so he can actually pop me unlike most of the ones around here lol.

My hips were way off, like 3 inches from leg to leg but, got em evened out a bit. Will go one more time before the show and start making it a regular thing going forward.
 
I just realized I'm 220 with full abs..... That's been a long time goal... Yaaaay
 
Wow, hips were 3 inches off huh? Amazing you have been able to squat comfortably. Yep 220 with a nice set of abs is a serious accomplishment. You are doing a great job Montana!
 
Messing around with poses. Think this one has gotten better. Invalid Link Removed
 
Same weight in both pictures. 218lbs.

I like to imagine Steve looking down and just giving a nod

He would then tell me everything I'm doing wrong but, that's what made Steve so awesome. He would push you past your mental limitations with what I like to believe was strategic dickery.

Miss the guy for sure.
 
Exactly why he was great. If you are truly satisfied, you will not progress - he knew people almost always have more to give if they choose to.

Tightening up nicely!
 
Good morning good morning.

Things are trucking right along here. Got into the low 213's this morning. Added in some oats and berries to my last meal last night and removed the almond butter. Trying to get things moving a bit which worked.

Got a good 5 hours witht he CPAP on last night and woke up feeling much better today then the last few days. Also some clumpy G8 helped :)

Word of caution..... If you are using Vasoburn, be careful when applying to your lower stomach......it can get in places that you DONT want it and its NOT fun.
