thanks my friend.
finishing out the cycle is the least i can do for you guys..Matt and Eric have been very generous with product, and all the PP guys with support

and speaking of updates: i know i haven't updated full pics in awhile..those are coming this w/e, promise.
in the meantime..feeling pretty lean this morning, showing some loose skin as i start to get harder. couple mirror shots.

[HereToStudy]

Wheels looking solid.

[snagency]

i just realized, it's been a lil while since a food pic was posted up in heah.
not much to show tho..meals are a tad boring.

oh yawn, here comes one now..

[snagency]

record 106 degree temp yesterday here in my town..in Indiana..in June. :|

weather's about as hot as my workouts are these days, picking up steam in my stamina again.
busted out a chest/shoulder session today, felt pretty strong, duration was a bit over an hour as i dropped reps and picked up weight.
(i have a tendency to finish my preps by shifting to heavier weights/lower reps @ 2-3 weeks out from show, until last week protocol when we just wish to lower glycogen levels, as i feel this helps me maintain my mass better in times of steep caloric deficit..cuts come in automatically from prior training work and current dietary restriction)..

lil pic from this morning. i don't look too lean there, but i am, honest!

[snagency]

some goofy mirror pics from today (in case my photographer can't make it)..these guys that take good back shots in the mirror - wow, kudos to you. it was awkward as hell.
feeling pretty decent, was split sessions for training: bi/tri/abs in the AM/tennis (2hr in 95 degrees) in the PM.
i can feel the ripped-ness getting ready to make it's appearance, body is feeling primed for some big body comp shifts in the next few days let alone last 2 weeks here of prep, and i think i have my flight plan mapped out for dietary considerations during landing as well.
things are shaping up well here at the end.








(hope ya'll don't mind that i got a lil risqué on that one-legged pic w/ left side lower ab region..was a nude pose, looked good but i don't have the software to edit out the middle region, ahaa.)

[snagency]

and here is the troubling area..still got lots of skin to tighten up, and the fat % is not where i want it to be.
lots of time to shrink-wrap the midsection yet, but my original goal was for this to be already alleviated by now.
[sigh]

[snagency]

couple more from this morning, before i hit da wheels.







sun was weird today, couldn't for the life of us get a leg shot w/o shadows (bulky shorts i had on prolly dint help)..

[HereToStudy]

Back is looking incredibly solid.

[snagency]

leanness popping overnight, abs are pretty tight, dint even do any cardio yesterday. it's that time, gentlemen (and ladies out there), time to see changes again everytime i wake up and look in the mirror.


dis gon be fun.

[snagency]

daily changes in the mirror again!
i would post pics daily till the end, but that might get monotonous for you chaps..
and anyway - i want to shock ppl with the finished final product.
BUT - a lil snapshot of wheels upon rising.
watch how diced these dude's get over ~ the next 10 days....(to be continued)

[snagency]

dayyummm, he done went and had a three workout session day.
no joke either..
20min HIIT this morning, back/bi's early afternoon, and then 2hr tennis session late afternoon/early evening.
i am freaking exhausted..but damn i feel goood again!

[snagency]

ONE WEEK OUT.................

(i'm in hiding)

[HereToStudy]

Can't wait!!

[snagency]

heyyyyyyyyyyy...
i'm looking pretty damn decent here this morning.
quite chiseled and leaned..bf is getting pretty low.

[snagency]

weight coming into week was 184.8 - highest ever for me entering final week of prep.
this morning, at 182.4 upon rising, the pace is good, the tightening up continues..
.
my strength is shot, totally in the tank (but who needs strength right now anyway) but energy-balance is strangely pretty decent..i hit a few lulls here & there thru the day, but nothing bad at all.
.
got some traveling to do today/tomorrow for my work, will not interfere with training/dietary game plan thankfully.
.
i am eyeballing my carb meal tonight..11hrs and 54min away

[snagency]

all right.......................

special sneak preview.

taken ~1hr ago.



let's see what we can do from here..
stay tuned.

(ps - you oughtta see the wheelz)

[HereToStudy]

Glad to see the confidence is back.

[snagency]

carb meal (only 120g worth) was nice last night, but i almost held off..
went ahead anyway, change of game plan for today & tomorrow:

rather than continue carb-up, going back to depletion diet today and most of tomorrow.
basically now is turkey breast/tuna combo with asparagus every meal today, then i'll reintroduce some red meat in the form of 96% lean tomorrrow and combine with turkey breast and asparagus, keeping it restricted till ~7 or 8p..water will also stay high until that point when i start carbing (rice cakes and oats, sweet potato). sodium high today/no added sodium tomorrow.

so, there's the plan.
we'll see how it works out -- never came in on this kind of approach before.
SAT morning, see how i look, and go from there.

also - other than using Cellucor's L2 for a mild diuretic this week, there will be no other help.
i am not messing with potassium or anything crazy, need to take the smooth controlled approach for a change..
actually - real reason is, as i've stated couple times thruout this log, i want to keep things very simple and without a lot of additional products, so i can nail down and isolate effects from my stack.

[HereToStudy]

I just did the opposite switch. Started my carb up tonight at around 8. This is one of the first times I am taking carb cycle really seriously, and man have I been craving carbs.

like any other change of that nature, the body physically adapts fairly quickly to the cravings..it's when it gets mental when it's hard.
i'm actually in a good zone right now, no carbs not an issue at all.
feel like i could stay in the zone for an extended period.............

sneak peak of progress, taken before bed last night.

[snagency]

well .................

by golly, i think this Show is ON.



catch ya on the flip.

To the stage!

[snagency]

To the stage!

was good time..best i EVER felt doing a show, BAR NONE!
ran into some guys i hadn't seen in yrs, made some new friends..
and - won't know till tonite obviously how i did, but i'm guessing i got twin 2nd place finishes in the Open & Novice, being beat by 2 different guys. the guy who i know beat me in the open looked awesome, has already done Nationals but needed to qualify again cuz he dint compete last yr.
BUT - 2nd place in my class qualifies me for Nationals too, so we'll se how it shakes out.

[snagency]

I had a GREAT time. Dead on with my guesses..the head judge told me I needed to be a lil tighter (knew that, figured I really needed another 7-10 days to hit my peak and that final level of leanness, just simply wasn't lean enuff), and that my posing needed work (knew that too..got behind when I went thru my 4-week slump)..he said if I had those 2 things in line, I would have had this thing.

Amazing. So much more to update on, will get to it soon..couple other goodies coming too, and then 3-4 weeks till I get my CD with all the pics..

In the meantime, something to chew on. Keep in mind this was after the Blowout Foodfest (Pizza Hut tonight) at the end of the day, so I'm spilling over fiercely.
