ZOO Grows Into The Show (Show Day)

[Hyde]

I’m going to see my Thai massage therapist, Dawn, on Sunday! Who wants to watch her walk on my back? Haha

Kinky, dude - Tony Huge would approve

Btw, Tony was in Sacramento yesterday live on Mark Bell’s podcast, so maybe he’s planning another trip down to Muscle Beach? Although he’s not in fighting shape after a recent bout with ‘Rona.

Yeah not a Mark Bell fan, but I did notice the live feed on YouTube coincidentally. And I do enjoy Tony Huge some.

Almost forgot to mention I had my doctors appointment today to get x-rays on my arm and my shoulder. From here I’ll be sent to an orthopedic for further analysis.

They won't need a machine, they will be able to see through that thin, peeled skin............... Good Luck !!

I get my grand daughter to walk on my back, she thinks it funny !! (She's 8)

Alright guys it’s time for the carb load and recovery phase. Below I have my adjustments for the day.

I also included the meal plan, which was designed around feedback from Bostin and my own experiences from past shows. It’s a very simple format of 40g protein, 40g carbs, 10g fat per meal for 7 meals throughout the day. While not exciting looking I assure you I am exhilarated at this opportunity to eat and likely lost sleep over the thought of it lol.

- Hit my 20k step target yesterday. I will not be doing cardio today but will maintain light walking throughout to help facilitate digestion and carb partitioning.

- Supplements dropped: Tango, Greens, EAAs, etc. I will maintain some items such as Inhibit-P, Vitmain C, Vitamin D.

- GlucoVantage Dihydroberberine added.

- Shakes removed and replaced with whole food meals.

- Diet soda removed. Water and black coffee only.

- T3 lowered to 25mcg

- Anavar increased to 125mg. Split evenly am/pm. Doing this will finish off the bottle.

- Superdrol increased to 30mg. First dose of 20mg in the am and 10mg in the pm. SD is notorious for being a carb sponge for the muscles so I’m going to test this out. Will take 40mg tomorrow (20/20 split).

CARB LOAD NUTRITION

MEAL 1: 4 Whole Eggs, 150g Egg Whites, 50g Grits

MEAL 2: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 3/4 tbsp Mac Nut Oil

MEAL 3: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 3/4 tbsp Mac Nut Oil

MEAL 4: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 16g Natty Peanut Butter

MEAL 5: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 3/4 tbsp Mac Nut Oil

MEAL 6: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 3/4 tbsp Mac Nut Oil

MEAL 7: 160g Ground Turkey (99% lean), 125g White Rice, 16g Natty Peanut Butter

Hey brother, just wanted to say good luck and have fun Monday. I’m heading to work for the rest of the weekend so I might not be on here. You should be damn proud of yourself! Way to persevere.

 

[Rocket3015]

2800 calories a day ?

 

[Hyde]

I did a double take when you said 10g fat per meal and saw 4 eggs (20g) the first meal I then realized you were generalizing for the rest of it.

Enjoy your loading!

Looking good mate!!!

Haha thanks man! But tbh my abs are super terrible. I have a protruding rib cage which is what sort of creates that effect. Unfortunately, it messes up/hides the rest and ruins any aesthetic of the mid section.

Woke up a little flat despite eating throughout the night. Definitely lean though and still drying out so I’m pretty pleased overall with how I’m looking. Currently at IHOP posting this. Read for some cakes!!!

 

[Majora23]

Looking awesome!! You and the food lol. Man your scarring designs look epic today. Should give you a trophy just for that, lol. Godspeed today brother! And most of all, just have fun and enjoy!

 

[Majora23]

Also dig the posing shorts, great choice. Just go out there like that and literally leave it all out on the line and hope for all female judges lol

 

[Rocket3015]

I don't think I have ever seen anyone the shredded ? See Thru Skin !!!

 

[Hyde]

Enjoy the competition, Zoo! Looking peeled up!

 

[Renew1]

Looking Great, brother!

Great work brother! Have fun today, you earned it

[FireJeff]

You got this bro!! Youve put in the work! And no matter what just know your log has been an inspiration to get back after it. Good luck and know you’ll kill it!!

 

[ZOO]

Judging is over. They were over an hour behind schedule but luckily I was prepared. Good and bad news is that I got first in my class (ultra tall) because I’m the only person in that class lol. Grabbed a pic on my phone coming off stage but it’s kind of dark so I will post the ones from the event photographers when they’re made available. I still have to go back for “finals” but in actuality the event is already done and over with placings already decided. The finals at this contest are strictly for show and award presentation.


Again, I did this show to see what I could do with my physique despite the limitations I have. I hope to use this experience and knowledge gained to kick off and keep a good year round physique. Nothing crazy but one I wouldn’t mind taking my shirt off for. Preemptively, I prepared my post show cycle and meal plan to begin tomorrow morning.

Hell ya bro! Congrats on finishing. That’s enough of a reward for dealing with the crap you had to deal with.

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

bra... good job.
you carry for all of us that were not competing today.

 

[Rocket3015]

You did it !!

 

[MrKleen73]

Congrats on the completion can't wait to see the professional pics did you pay to have some taken while on stage too?

 

[ZOO]

Thank you tons, guys. Serious, I mean it. Nah, they have their own photographers as well as independent ones that come out. They’ll post photos on their page I reckon. If not I will search them out

 

[Hyde]

You made it through man; congratulations! It took a lot of discipline to follow that protocol and you stayed the course. You have the ball rolling with a doctor, and you have a lean physique you can enjoy & be proud of right now.

 

[Rocket3015]

Zoo, you made the AM family proud!
