have to be on my game to hold condition, but the investment will hopefully pay off

good luck mate
look forward to seeing how you do

last week has been pure suffering. had to remove cardio as I do not have the energy
into new territory for my body.
not reacting well
many bad days, very few good days, not even very many good moments
workouts are brutal to get through
no power no strength
no endurance
not done yet
still have more details to carve

how come suffering so much
whats diet and training like
any info great
my main aim is to compete when ready and would love details of diet and training and how you feel at curtian pionts and few days or day before show
ive never really dropped below 8%ish

food is low
energy expenditure trying to say the same

as the body gets leaner, things hurt. joints, ligaments tendons muscles etc

sleep patterns are non existent
supplements are drying you out, possibly making you irritable, def making you feel like shit at times. (clen is good at this esp)

caffiene doesnt work anymore

and without the end in sight, it is difficult

people who dont suffer: never win shows.
if the diet is easy, adding more food towards the end, backing off cardio, training lighter, etc
all those things lead to softer, fatter body, less lines, less details, and lowplacings

have to suffer, there is no other way (i guess at this point this is actually for me rather then responding to you)

few days before the show actually are not tha bad because you dont do as much
the hard work and hard dieting is done by that point
beginning is good, you start seeing changes and feel good, food is good energy etc
then later goes south when you have low strength days low energy etc

when you get lower in bodyfat you start to feel worse and worse.
this is when people cheat, think they eat more food because "their metabolism got faster", stop cardio, think they are flat, fear loosing muscle, use crazy powders and pills before during after before bed upon waking etc etc
when you feel like shit, you keep going, and thats what makes you tight onstage, and that is how winning is done
its just not for everybody

lots of people win mr walmart or mr comp science 101 class, but on stage is a diffent world, and the larger the stage , the more different the animal

Good honest appraisal. Brings it home just how hard it really is!

cheers for info
good luck with shows
what are dates and look forward to pics
